Project Description
The approved Drexel Village is an approximately 300,000 gross square foot mixed-use project will establish a prominent gateway at the Melnea Cass and Tremont Street corridor and will offer a three-building complex that includes the renovation of the St. Katherine Drexel Church and Parish ministry space, along with mixed-income rental and homeownership housing, retail, commercial, and social-service space, including over 60,000 square feet of public open space that will provide passive recreation and pedestrian connectivity to the neighborhood's open space networks along the Tremont Street corridor. The Drexel Village project site's gateway prominence as a key location in the Roxbury Cultural District will showcase a dynamic variety of permanent and temporary Public Art that will celebrate cultural diversity, history, and heritage of Nubian Square. The Notice of Project Change, filed February 23, 2026, proposes a change from homeownership to rental and a reduction in parking. No other changes are proposed.
