Greystar announced last week the long-awaited acquisition of 85 Boston St., the former Wood Waste facility, which is a 5.9-acre site slated for a 650-unit multifamily development that will begin construction this summer.
Greystar’s development includes two six-story buildings and 33 affordable on-site homes. The site was owned and operated by Wood Waste of Boston as a construction debris processing and recycling facility and has been in the works for re-development many years.
The 85 Boston Street site is first of two Greystar projects in Everett, the other being the recently-acquired Market Forge site on Garvey Street.
Greystar also announced they will be hosting an official groundbreaking on the Boston Street site this coming Weds., June 23. The event will feature a short speaking program by City officials and by Greystar Managing Director of Development Gary Kerr.
