“An n Ale! Let’s go!” The rhythm of live drumming filled the air as we celebrated a milestone: the ribbon cutting for the brand-new Jean Appolon Expressions (JAE) Dance Center in Nubian Square. DREAM Principals and Co-Founders Greg Minott and Troy Depeiza were honored to stand alongside the community at the base of our 2147 Washington Street project to welcome JAE to its new home.

Designed by DREAM, this 2,800-square-foot studio is a center for Haitian Folkloric dance, healing, and professional excellence. JAE is dedicated to building strong, diverse communities, and we are so proud to provide the architectural canvas for their movement.

In the Words of City Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune: “This is a long-awaited home for creativity, culture, and community.” Bringing high-quality arts programming to the heart of Nubian Square is what sustainable, community-focused development is all about.

Congratulations to Jean Appolon and the entire JAE team!

As architect and co-developer, DREAM is thrilled to announce that 2147 Washington Street has closed on financing! It has been a pleasure working with the City and community on this landmark project for Nubian Square.

This Passive House, mixed-use development includes income-restricted housing, with a priority for Boston artists and reserved units for tenants who have experiences houselessness. The site will also have a courtyard, public artist workshop, below-market retail space, and a new home for local nonprofit .

Stayed tuned for groundbreaking details!
