The Rochambeau Condominiums

Dorchester, Massachusetts

In the historic Fields Corner section of Dorchester, Weld Management converted an abandoned landmark Gothic school building into thirty handsome one-and-two bedroom condominiums. Ten additional units were created in a new companion structure which complements the original turn-of-the-century building. The innovative design combines ample space, unique features such as private terraces and glass block foyers, and distinctive interior amenities such as oak cabinetry, high ceilings, and recessed lighting. This was an exceptionally imaginative conversation in which Weld Management worked closely with the city of Boston to ensure that 50% of the units met affordable housing criteria. The project had to have marketing appeal and yet remain economical. Stringent cost control throughout the development process was vital to convince the lenders that this was a good investment. Both market-rate and affordable units were sold within six months.
