Boston – The Boston Planning & Development Agency’s (BPDA) board of directors approved seven development projects at the June monthly board meeting. The seven approvals will create 306 residential units and 34 affordable units, and have an estimated development cost of $392.4 million.
New Development Projects will include:
A Roslindale self storage building will be renovated and expanded to create 49,822 additional square feet of storage space on 44 Lochdale Road and 35 additional interior parking spaces. A speed ramp will be incorporated to allow for more control and for better access to the parking and loading areas located within the basement of the project.
A project at 105 West First Street in Boston will convert a warehouse and office building and related parking areas into a new seven store building with approximately 250,000sf of gross floor area for primarily office and research and development uses.
A 19-story Bay Village project, comprised of four parcels, 212-222 Stuart Street and 17-19 Shawmut Street will include the development of an approximately 146,000sf, 19-story building consisting of 133 residential rental units and approximately 3,000sf of ground floor retail space for potential local businesses.
The Boston Preparatory Charter Public School Phase II project located in Hyde Park is an approximate 2.2-acre parcel of land located on the northern side of River Street. Together with the recently completed Phase I building, the Phase II building will create a comprehensive middle and high school facility that will enable the school to deliver on its ambitious program goals and longstanding charter promise to serve the neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Dorchester, and Mattapan.
The Boston Preparatory Charter Public School project proposes to construct a three-story, 32,000sf expansion of the recently completed middle and high school building. The proposed Phase II expansion will include a cafeteria, instructional space and support space. The Phase I and Phase II buildings will connect on all three levels.
The proposed 47-55 Lagrange St. project will feature a 21-story residential building that includes up to 130 rental units and 1,500sf of retail space. Due to the project’s close proximity to public transportation, on-site parking has been eliminated from the program.
Located in Uphams’ Corner, the 734 Dudley Street project will consist of a five-story, mixed-use building. The building will contain 20 rental units, three of which will be Inclusionary Development Policy units (IDP), as well as three commercial retail spaces. In addition, there will be 11 on-site/off-street garage parking spaces located at-grade level with access via Wendover Street.
