About

Phase I is apart of Utile's Walnut Street Joint Venture on an affordable housing project for seniors in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The project consists of three buildings, with 200 affordable units and integrated amenities, including a generous community room and network of open spaces. The design minimizes disruption to the site, a wooded lot at the intersection of Rt-140 and I-95, through its compact site design. This preserves a vegetated buffer between the development and the adjacent single-family residential neighborhood. The approach for site design prioritizes community by creating a continuous landscape between the three buildings and keeping vehicular traffic and parking along the periphery of the development. Three buildings are sited to give shape to outdoor spaces and walking paths.
