Belmont Zoned for 1,632 New Units. Exactly 44 Have Been Approved.

Belmont’s MBTA Communities rezoning. It falls under the same state law, and so far it’s produced exactly one project: a five-story, 44-unit mixed-use building at 43 White St. Seven of those units are affordable. The Planning Board approved it in July 2025, but nobody’s broken ground yet. That’s about 2.7% of the roughly 1,632 units Belmont has to zone capacity for.

So the zoning exists on paper, but it isn’t turning into new homes. Inventory stays tight, and single-family and two-family houses keep carrying the market.
