The Loop

The Loop at Mattapan Station involved the transformation of a 2.57-acre parking lot at the MBTA Mattapan Station into a 6-story, mixed-use development with multifamily housing, retail and community space. The new wood-framed over podium structure features 135 residential units, 10,000 SF of retail space, 70 structured parking spots, 50 surface parking spots, and 1,800 SF of community space.

Residents of the complex have a variety of transportation options, including public transit, ride-share, and bike-share, along with direct access to the Neponset River Greenway.
