Burlington’s South End Housing Boom

Burlington’s South End is set to transform with a massive new housing project approved by city council, aiming for over a thousand homes to combat the state’s housing crisis. Backed by state funding and led by Jonathan Rose Companies in a public-private partnership, the first phase will deliver 204 units—mostly studios and one-bedrooms—with at least 20% (and possibly 30%) affordable, including units for those experiencing homelessness. Financing includes an $8 million loan and a $6.7 million award, while the city explores new state infrastructure funding. Sustainability is key: all-electric buildings, mass-timber, solar, and geothermal systems, plus walkable design with bike paths and transit access. Construction financing targeted by year’s end—shovels could be in the ground soon. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
