MassDevelopment has issued $77.9 million in tax-exempt bonds and $48.4 million in taxable bonds to Puddingstone at Chestnut Hill, an affiliate of Chestnut Hill Realty, to fund the construction of a six-story, 250-unit mixed-income multifamily rental housing facility on 3.78 acres of undeveloped land at 201 Sherman Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Brookline Bank purchased the bonds which helped achieve a lower cost of capital for the project.
