93 Moreland St (Roxbury - 6 Unit Historical Renovation)

By Julian Hernandez - Comon Grove Development + Fairway Mortgage, Owner / Developer

Welcome to 93 Moreland St and 9 Perrin St

An extensive full-gut historical renovation and preservation of a large 4 unit building and 2 unit carriage house in the Moreland St, Historical District of Roxbury.

The project was originally a dated and older 3 unit building with a detached carriage house in rear of the lot, that were both in need of heavy renovation. It was a bold project for a newer developer like myself, who had only previously completed a single family and 3-family project prior.

We took this project through zoning in 2025 seeking multiple variances, but most importantly sought to turn the existing 3-family to a 4-family and subdivided the land, to turn the carriage house that was only used as horse stables and turned it into 2 townhouse style units. With strong support from the community, the project was approved a few months later and we never turned back.

There were multiple challenges throughout this project, but the biggest was consistently fighting to maintain the original character of the home and bringing it's old charm back to life....while also upgrading it to meet the modern requirements of today's homeowners, which we ultimately succeeded in doing.

As it stands now, the project is fully completed and build after 18 months of construction and now have the units listed on the market for sale, with 5/6 still available.

The market as it stands now is not too favorable to sellers / developers....but with the right product and building something special that stands out, you can overcome these challenges.

This was an incredible project to be a part of and will always be proud of what we built, it would not have been possible without the help of the best subs in the business.
