PARCEL 9 FEATURED ON THE BOSTON GLOBE

Extract from Boston Globe Business Page, May 29 2012

The excitement surrounding Parcel 9 is fast rising in the cit;  the project was featured on Boston Globe on May 29, 2012 with Casey Ross of the Boston Globe writing " For decades, Melnea Cass Boulevard in Roxbury has been no more than a high-traffic passageway to other parts of Boston. But under new plans approved by Boston regulators, Melnea Cass is due for a dramatic change that will result in new shops and restaurants, a supermarket, a hotel, and dozens of homes."


Parcel 9 will be one of two key projects that will  spur the development of the area. Kamran Zahedi, principal of Urbanica, feels strongly that “the neighborhood needs activities that strengthen the culture that’s already there. We’re not trying to bring the South End to Roxbury. Roxbury is going to take its own shape based on its landscape and demography.”


There are high hopes for Parcel 9 and Parcel 10 to spur an economic revitalization in the Roxbury/ Dudley Square areas. Urbanica is proud to be part of this renaissance of area.
