Over the past five years, NOAH has completed more than $100 million in affordable housing development projects. We have a growing pipeline that includes five major projects (with approximately 300 new units), including affordable rental, homeownership, and mixed-use developments. We are also restructuring and renovating buildings within our existing portfolio of smaller three-deckers in East Boston.

Active project work includes:

• Construction of a 7-unit mixed income homeownership development in East Boston
• Seeking funding for community inspired, artist-themed construction of 33 mixed-income rental units adjacent to the homeownership project above
• Initiating selection of investors and then will start construction for the adaptive reuse of a historic 38-unit/10 commercial spaces development in downtown Taunton
• Obtaining permits to develop up to 150 new mixed-income rental units in two phases Ayer, and 110 units of historic and new construction housing in Attleboro. Both are TOD sites
• Refinancing 128 units in 37 triple decker buildings in East Boston, and
• Purchasing occupied three-deckers in East Boston in order to prevent displacement of diverse, low/moderate income residents, many of whom are severely affected by layoffs and COVID.

NOAH’s projects meet the needs of our great neighborhood as well as the Commonwealth with a focus on affordable, workforce and mixed-income family housing throughout Greater Boston. We have three Gold for Homes sustainable designations and aim for green, sustainable Passive House projects going forward.
