Brookline To Get 54 New Affordable Senior Housing Units By 2025

BROOKLINE, MA – Hebrew SeniorLife will build 54 new units of affordable senior housing at its Center Communities of Brookline location, officials announced on Tuesday.

Hebrew SeniorLife is New England’s largest nonprofit provider of senior health care and living communities, and will build the new seven-story complex at 108 Centre Street. The complex will provide independent living apartments for seniors age 62 and older.

• Expanded indoor and outdoor community space to benefit residents of Center Communities of Brookline and other senior residents of the town;
• Construction that meets Passive House Standards, which will reduce energy consumption, ensure indoor air quality, enhance durability, and improve thermal comfort;
• Access to the vast array of services at Center Communities of Brookline such as wellness programming, fitness, and dining;
• Enhancements to the overall campus, including landscaping, lighting, and green space.

“Hebrew SeniorLife is pleased to launch this development that we believe will help meet the urgent need for service enriched senior housing in Brookline,” Kim Brooks, Hebrew SeniorLife chief operating officer for senior living, said in a news release. “Our new Centre Street location will combine independent apartment living for seniors with onsite support services, all in keeping with Hebrew SeniorLife’s effort to redefine the aging experience.”

Residents will have access to an onsite resident services team, including a wellness nurse and coordinator, focused on preventative care, health education, and individualized support.

Construction of the new affordable senior community will take approximately 20 months with occupancy anticipated in early 2025.
