Those last couple of photos are E 2nd St. I had trouble pinning exactly where it was at first but it's next to the Greyhound garage. I've probably passed it hundreds of times but never really noticed it. The lot next to it on L has to be a target for development at some point.
 

New condos approved on F Street in South Boston​

Rendering of proposed 175 F St.


“The Zoning Board of Appeal today unanimously approved plans by a developers to replace a triple decker and some vacant land with a nine-unit building at 175 F St. between West 3rd and Bolton streets.
The plans, by developers Evan and David Lank of Hyde Park, call for one studio unit and eight units ranging between one and three bedrooms. The project is small enough that it does not trigger the city requirement for affordable units.
The plans also call for six parking spaces and two roof decks for the owners of two units on the top floor….”

Yes!!!!! HUGE upgrade architecturally and usage-wise. We seem to be seeing more and more small, incremental upgrade plans with housing and street level activation the past few months. There seems to be a low level gathering momentum.

What it's replacing (the Re-Max building, not the nail salon building):

Ok but actually tragic. Stats is an institution (and I'm not a southie bro lol).
I hope they can reopen in the new space like the Playwright did a year ago.

What's with the insistence on the different cladding up top? It looks unsettling, like a parasite is emerging from the masonry section.

You don't want to try to match the existing brick because it will 100% certainly not work and will look awful.
