Luxury condo complex comes to Jamaica Plain

With the tearing down of Casey Overpass and new residential development, Forest Hills is the latest Jamaica Plain neighborhood to gentrify.

And a new high-end development near the Forest Hills Cemetery is bringing denser housing to an area of mostly working-class homes between Tower and Walk Hill streets.

Called The Townhouse Lofts at 57 Wachusett St., the luxury condo complex consists of eight three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhouses in three contemporary-style buildings.

The complex sits on a 20,000-plus-square-foot site that housed a 1899-built Mansard Victorian, for which developer Stephen Ballas paid $1.6 million. Some in the neighborhood wanted Ballas to restore the historic home as part of the project.
