42-condo building proposed on Cummins Highway in Mattapan

A Quincy developer has filed plans with the BPDA to build a five-story, 42-unit apartment building at 819 Cummins Highway, on what are now four vacant lots next to the Fairmount Line train tracks and across from the newly constructed Cote Village Apartments.

Plans by Sathuan Sa's EJS Investments of Quincy show 25 parking spaces and ground-floor retail space.

Seven of the condos will be sold as affordable.

The filing with the BPDA explains the exterior design:

The Proposed Project has been specifically designed to reflect the architecture of the surrounding community, particularly the larger scale multi-family structures in the vicinity. The massing of the Proposed Project blends in with that of the surrounding community as it provides a balance between the smaller two and three-family and the larger Cote Village Apartments. The design team has intentionally activated the pedestrian walkway along the building’s periphery on Cummins Highway by allowing for a substantial setback, prioritizing landscaping and green space, and moving the parking entrance to the side of the building on Hollingsworth Street.
