Is The Ellery in West Roxbury the Next Big Thing in Boston’s 2025 Development Boom?
In the heart of West Roxbury, Boston-based developer RISE, in partnership with DivcoWest, is transforming a former industrial site at 199 Gardner Street into The Ellery, a four-story, 84,000 sq ft residential building slated for completion in mid‑2024 (Boston Real Estate Times). With 70 one- and two-bedroom apartments—including nine units designated affordable (up to 70 % AMI)—the project blends equitable development with suburban charm. Amenities like LEED Gold–targeted systems, EV charging stations, bicycle storage, and a resident shuttle to the commuter rail underscore a sustainable, modern approach to urban living (Boston Real Estate Times).
Beyond its residential offering, The Ellery enriches the neighborhood’s infrastructure. Sidewalk improvements, a public crosswalk on Gardner Street, and funding for a new BlueBikes station signal a broader investment in walkability and transit access (Boston Real Estate Times). These community enhancements support local businesses, bringing more foot traffic and visibility to nearby retail and service tenants. As West Roxbury evolves, spaces like The Ellery are becoming catalysts for mixed-use vibrancy in outer-Boston neighborhoods.
