North End Community Center
Boston, MA
The new 58,490 GSF North End Community Center will replace the current BCYF Nazzaro Community Center. As Boston’s oldest residential community, the North End has played a key role in shaping the city’s culture and history. The neighborhood has also been home to diverse communities directly connected to Boston Harbor.
The project is led by the City of Boston and the Foundation for Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) and will create more equitable access to recreation and the waterfront for the community.
Ellana prepared a schematic design cost estimate that included pricing for foundation on pile and infill with structural fill for an outdoor swimming pool. The estimate featured two design options for the building, four sitework options, 10 alternates, and three Harbor Walk options.
