Boston Housing Authority Selects IBA for West Newton/Rutland Revitalization Project

BOSTON — The Boston Housing Authority has selected IBA – Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción as the developer for its West Newton/Rutland Streets properties, including the revitalization of 146 units of public housing in Boston’s South End. IBA will lead the redevelopment of 24 historic brick residential buildings, containing existing units of federally subsidized housing, along West Newton and Rutland streets. The two-year project is slated to begin in 2016. As part of the project, IBA will complete the renovation while protecting current residents from displacement and preserving affordability for extremely low-income households over the long term.
