100 and 150 Newport Avenue Extension 520-Unit Residential Development
At a glance
Maple Multifamily (Trammell Crow) seeks a certificate of consistency for 520 residential units in four buildings, with a structured garage and surface parking totaling 540 spaces, on land at 100 and 150 Newport Avenue Extension, 17 Oak Avenue and 34 Myrtle Street near the North Quincy MBTA station (case 2026-COC-02). The developer returned after July with changes: sidewalks moved inside the site with a row of street trees on the 150 parcel, an agreement to buy the National Grid strip between the two sites so they connect, a larger courtyard, raised garden beds and dog park by the tracks, about 40 existing trees saved and over 300 new trees, solar-ready roofs (solar not committed), and a dedicated trash and compost pickup. It argued parking (about 1 space per bedroom, with a zoning minimum of 1 per unit) is justified by comparison with other Quincy sites, and said first floors sit at elevation 12 against a flood zone at 10, with only one building on a podium for cost reasons. Board members pressed on flooding, soil settling and piles, and a possible pedestrian flyover over the tracks. Ward 3 Councilor Walter Hubley and State Rep. Bruce Ayers asked for a supplemental traffic study of the Neponset Bridge, which the developer agreed to provide. A resident arborist questioned the tree plan against the city tree ordinance and urged fewer parking spaces. The affordable-housing requirement is being met by a payment in lieu, per the councilor. The planning department had no recommendation yet and the hearing was continued to the November 18 meeting.
