HarborOne Bank and NeighborWorks Housing Solutions partner to Redevelop 68 Legion Parkway in Downtown Brockton

Plans for the newly constructed mixed-use property will include street-level state-of-the-art HarborOne Banking Center, NeighborWorks’ new office headquarters, and mixed-income apartments.

As part of a collective commitment to the revitalization of downtown Brockton, HarborOne Bank recently transferred ownership of the Bank’s former headquarters, 68 Legion Parkway, to our long-time partner and tenant NeighborWorks Housing Solution (NHS). The agreement was signed on June 28, 2024, with pre-development planning commencing in 2025 and construction anticipated to begin in 2026.

In addition to housing HarborOne’s downtown Brockton banking center, 68 Legion Parkway is also home to NeighborWorks Housing Solution’s Brockton Headquarters. For more than a dozen years, HarborOne has provided in-kind office and classroom space to NHS. During the height of the mortgage crisis of 2008, in which Brockton was particularly hard-hit, the two organizations came together to deepen and broaden their commitment to serving the needs of the community – positively impacting the lives of thousands with financial and educational resources.

“The NHS and HarborOne partnership began with the shared goal of strengthening the financial well-being of individuals and families, and stabilizing neighborhoods through sustainable home ownership,” said Joseph F. Casey, President & CEO, HarborOne Bank. “As HarborOne examined how best to meet the future banking needs of our customers, invest in the vibrancy of downtown Brockton, as well as support the development of affordable housing, the sale and redevelopment of 68 Legion Parkway in partnership with our longtime friends at NHS made perfect sense.”

“We are excited to continue to work with our long-time and valued partner HarborOne Bank to create much needed housing stock and invest in Brockton, said Rob Corley, CEO NeighborWorks Housing Solutions.” Liberty on Legion, as the project will be referred to, complements other NHS projects and will be play an integral part in the revitalization of Brockton’s historic downtown. We look forward to working collaboratively with the city, residents, and local businesses on this project.”

“Brockton, and my administration, is grateful to HarborOne Bank and NeighborWorks Housing Solutions for their innovation and collaboration,” said Mayor Robert Sullivan. “Projects such as Liberty on Legion, promote and provide stability to our community while exemplifying the synergy between the City and business leaders. I am appreciative of the relationship that I share with Mr. Casey and Mr. Corley as their leadership embodies what it means to work better together.”

HarborOne’s current downtown Brockton banking center will remain open throughout the pre-development period, and construction will be planned so that HarborOne can continue to serve its customers throughout the process. Plans for the downtown Brockton revitalization project include a street-level state-of-the-art HarborOne Banking Center, a newly reimagined office space for NHS’s Brockton headquarters, and approximately 50-60 units of mixed-income housing targeting both middle-income and lower-income households, along with ample parking in the back of the building. Estimated completion for the Liberty on Legion project is 2028.
