Dorchester, Boston
Construction & Development in Dorchester
Dorchester is the most active build-and-develop lane we run. It’s triple-decker country, and we work the full arc of it, gutting a worn three-family back to the studs, building new multi-family on a tight infill lot, and converting older buildings into condos that hold their value.
How We Work in Dorchester
Local knowledge, built in.
Here we can run the whole deal under one roof. We underwrite the numbers, pull the Boston ISD permits, build the project, and broker the sale or the lease through our William Raveis arm. One team carrying a project from the buy to the closing is an edge a single-trade GC can’t match in this market.
Investment
What a Dorchester project costs
Dorchester runs from a triple-decker gut in the mid six figures to several million for a ground-up multi-family, set by the unit count, the condition, and whether you renovate or build new. On our own deals we underwrite the whole project, so the budget is built to the return, not just the construction. Either way we scope it in full and report against it, so the numbers stay honest from the buy to the finish.
