The redevelopment of the Mercy Hospital State Street campus resulted in a high-density, mixed-income residential campus featuring 260 new apartments and nine new homes, a self-storage facility and several small retail spaces. It is considered an example of smart growth, with adaptive reuse of the historic hospital building, creation of outdoor public space in a shared common space and improvements to existing utility infrastructure.
It offers a range of housing choice, including market rate, affordable and workforce, both for rent and for sale. The project included a traffic-management plan to encourage and support alternative forms of transportation.
In addition, the redevelopment transformed surface parking into housing, recreated the street wall along Winter Street, reuniting parts of a neighborhood that had been divided when the hospital was built.
