Medford package store site eyed for housing thanks to MBTA Act
A 248-unit residential development is being proposed for a Kappy's Fine Wines & Spirits site in Medford’s Wellington neighborhood.
The proposal by Transom Real Estate calls for a seven-story building a few blocks from the MBTA Orange Line’s Wellington station, which is also a major bus hub for cities just north of Boston.
The development would replace Kappy’s as well as a Munro Service and Tire Centers next door on Revere Beach Parkway, just next to Wellington Circle. The Wellington area is also part of Medford’s newly-rezoned district allowing for denser residential construction as part of the state’s MBTA Communities law.

Why Good Design is Worth Investing In
The built environment is shaped by a city’s economics, culture and values. As these elements evolve, so must the built environment, creating a physical “strata” defining the periods of the city’s history.
In Boston in recent years, we have been fortunate to experience low unemployment, positive job growth and residents’ increasing desire to live downtown, which has allowed for the creation and absorption of more than 10,000 new units of housing and millions of square feet of new office, retail and lab buildings. In an era where new real estate is increasingly designed, engineered and traded as a commodity, we must consider what this period of growth will say about us.
