Jamaica Plain monastery to become housing MABA MassachusettsRealEstate FirstTimeHomeBuyers MaBuyerAgent

A developer is proposing to redevelop a former Jamaica Plain monastery into a mixed-use development. Holland Properties filed a letter of intent with the Boston Planning & Development Agency on May 19, 2023. Holland Properties is looking to rehab the existing 54,000-square-foot Franciscan Poor Clare Nuns’ monastery at 920 Centre St. in Jamaica Plain into a mix of twenty residential apartments, as well as a daycare, office space, a gym, event spaces and storage in the remaining 20,000 square feet. The development will also include the construction of a Mass Timber building behind the existing monastery, which will house ninety condominiums, including inclusionary units, as well as one hundred and twenty one parking spaces.

The 2.88-acre property located next to the Arnold Arboretum was home to the Poor Clare Nuns monastery, which was built in 1934-1936. Once home to sixty five nuns, the remaining ten sisters sold the property in 2022, after years of looking for a suitable place. The sale of the monastery was needed to make that move, the sisters said on their website. On May 19, the sisters announced they’re moving to a property located at 590 Gay St, in Westwood.

Buying a home is like buying a car, on steroids. It’s the biggest investment you are likely to make so the stakes are incredibly high. I knew that having an agent represent me was a good idea.

What I hadn’t grasped was how important it is to find one who is not connected with the selling side in any way—through an agency that also represents sellers, as most do, at least in Mass. In researching buyer agents, I found Tom through the Mass. Assoc. of Buyer Agents (MABA).
