Kamran Zahedi, Principal of Urbanica, offered his insight on the market by saying“construction costs are high wherever you build in the city so building condos affordable to the middle class makes the most sense in places such as Roxbury, Dorchester and parts of JP where land costs less and there’s some room to build.”
