Project of the Month: Betty Greene

The Betty Greene Apartments is an award-winning, 65-unit affordable housing project in Boston’s Jackson Square neighborhood—and one of Utile’s first Phius certified buildings. Completed in 2025, the project offers a clear look at what it takes to deliver high-performance affordable housing within real-world constraints.

In this Project of the Month session, the team will walk through the design and delivery of Betty Greene, focusing on the practical decisions, tradeoffs, and lessons that continue to inform their growing Phius portfolio. From podium construction challenges to material simplification and repeatable details, this conversation centers on what actually worked—and what they’d do again.
