Staff Tour at Nubian Square

It was a warm, sunny day for MHIC staff to step out of the office and explore Roxbury’s Nubian Square, a neighborhood that sits at the heart of so much of our work. Over the past 35 years, MHIC has invested more than $379 million in Roxbury, supporting 89 development projects that have produced or preserved 3,629 homes and 1.2 million square feet of commercial space.

Our walking tour offered a chance to see that impact up close. From restored historic buildings to new developments that bring jobs, homes, and vitality to the community, every stop reminded us of what collaboration can achieve.

We are especially grateful to Intiya Ambrogi-Isaza and Haris Lefteri of Madison Park Development Corporation, and to Evelyn Friedman, Executive Director of Nuestra Comunidad and an MHIC Board member, for joining us and sharing their insight into the ongoing revitalization of Nubian Square.

The tour ended with a wonderful lunch at Nubian Markets, one of the many businesses we are proud to support. It was a fitting celebration of community, partnership, and the continuing transformation of Roxbury.
