Affordable apartment building could be coming to Roslindale Square

B'nai B'rith Housing last week paid $3 million for the abandoned Bank of America branch on Corinth Street in Roslindale Square - and its parking lot with entrances on Cohasset and Washington streets - according to Suffolk County Registry of Deeds records.

The bank branch closed in 2022. Boston assessors' records show the building went up in 1981.

B'nai B'rith Housing, a non-profit, has yet to say what it's planning for the half-acre site, which has a one-story building in area with a number of three- and four-story buildings - including some buildings that started out with three floors, then owners the top two floors removed to save money in doldrums that started in the 1970s, then added them back as Roslindale Square revived.

It's currently building a senior-citizen apartment building near the Municipal Building on River Street in Hyde Park, with 63 one-bedroom apartments, all to be rented as affordable.

Last year, the organization opened the doors on a 60-unit apartment complex off Baker Street in West Roxbury, where 45 of the apartments are rented to people making no more than 60% of the Boston area median income and the rest rented to people making no more than 90% of that level.
