The North Quincy MBTA project is a transformative development that combines residential living with retail and public transportation access, representing a modern approach to urban planning. Prime Steel Inc.’s involvement in the structural steelwork underscores their role in delivering high-quality construction solutions for complex urban projects. This development has contributed significantly to the growth and modernization of the North Quincy area, making it a more attractive place to live and work.

  • Construction Timeline:

    The project broke ground in early 2018 and has been completed in phases. The first residential units and retail spaces began opening in 2020, with the entire project expected to be fully completed shortly thereafter. The construction was carried out while ensuring minimal disruption to MBTA services.

    Prime Steel Inc. was involved in the structural steelwork for the North Quincy MBTA project. Their contributions included fabricating and erecting the steel framework for the residential buildings and parking structures, ensuring the stability and safety of the new developments.

  • Public and Private Partnership:

    The project is a public-private partnership between the MBTA and a private developer, Bozzuto Development Company, and Atlantic Development. This collaboration is a model of how public transit authorities can work with private entities to leverage real estate assets and improve urban infrastructure.

  • Challenges and Considerations:

    The construction process had to be carefully managed to avoid disrupting MBTA operations, which continued throughout the project. There were also community concerns about traffic and density, which were addressed through careful planning and community engagement

  • Community Impact:

    The project has brought new housing options to Quincy, helping to address the demand for residential units in the Boston metropolitan area. Additionally, the retail spaces have added new amenities and services for both residents and commuters, enhancing the vibrancy of the North Quincy neighborhood.
