150 Centre Street at Shawmut Station is a 72-unit affordable housing project located immediately adjacent to Shawmut Station on the MBTA's Red Line. The project will serve an incredibly diverse set of households, including units for families earning below 30%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). This housing is sorely needed in the city, particularly in the St. Mark's/Melville area of Dorchester.

The building is designed to exceed the Commonwealth's climate resiliency and energy efficiency goals. The design incorporates Passive House standards, is "all-electric" with the latest high-efficiency heat pump heating and ventilation equipment, and will feature photovoltaic solar panels on the roof. Climate-sensitive landscaping and open space design, bike-friendly amenities, and the anticipated use of an innovative mass timber framing structural system will further reduce the building's embodied carbon. Additionally, the project's location adjacent to mass transit and its pedestrian proximity to services and shops will allow families living there to easily get around without a car. The environmentally sensitive nature of the project will further lower housing costs for the families who will call 150 Centre Street home.
