We’re proud to share that construction is complete on the new Boston Square community hub, HUB 07, marking a key milestone in the larger Boston Square Together revitalization project. This two-story space features a 240-person event venue, community café, workspace, after-school programming, and a clinic operated by Corewell Health, all located in the Boston Square neighborhood. Our team transformed the former Living Word Christian Center through extensive demolition, renovation and a roof raise to add a whole second floor. The new Boston Square Community Hub stands as a vibrant gathering place that will serve residents for years to come.
