The multi-phased Orient Heights redevelopment is to be developed by Trinity Financial.

BOSTON—Two major housing developments—one in East Boston and the other in the Seaport—have secured key approvals from the Boston Redevelopment Authority and are progressing toward groundbreaking.

Last week, the BRA approved the $400-million Washington Village development in the Andrew Square section of South Boston. The BRA also green-lighted Trinity Financial's $186-million phased redevelopment plan at the Boston Housing Authority's Orient Heights complex in East Boston, as well as the Cronin Group's $260-million condo tower at 150 Seaport Blvd.

The Boston Housing Authority, like similar redevelopments underway in Charlestown and Roxbury, is moving forward with plans to redevelop the 331-unit Orient Heights public housing community. The project, to be developed by Trinity Financial, will be built in phases and will involve the demolition and complete reconstruction of the community.
