Zero New Boston is a transit-oriented multifamily development located adjacent to the Anderson Regional Transportation Center in Woburn. The seven-story project is planned to include approximately 250 residential apartment units, 364 structured parking spaces, and ground-floor retail space. As part of the ongoing redevelopment of the former Industri-Plex area, the project transforms underutilized land into a vibrant residential community while enhancing connectivity to public transportation and surrounding amenities.

Sustainability:

Sustainability is a key component of the Zero New Boston development. By locating housing directly adjacent to a major commuter rail and transit hub, the project encourages reduced automobile dependency and supports smart-growth principles. The redevelopment of previously underutilized land within an existing infrastructure network minimizes suburban sprawl while promoting walkability and access to public transportation. The project also contributes to the long-term revitalization of a former industrial site through environmentally managed redevelopment practices.

Prime Steel Erecting, Inc. provided structural steel erection services for the Zero New Boston project, installing the steel framework that supports the building’s residential, parking, and retail components. Through careful planning, coordination, and execution, Prime Steel helped ensure the structure was erected safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project specifications while maintaining demanding construction schedules.

Purpose and Use:

The development is designed to provide modern housing opportunities for residents seeking convenient access to Boston and surrounding communities via commuter rail and major highway networks. In addition to delivering much-needed residential units, the project will include retail space and community amenities that contribute to a vibrant mixed-use environment. Zero New Boston plays an important role in the broader redevelopment of Woburn’s New Boston Street corridor and supports continued economic growth throughout the region.
