“A Suffolk Superior Court judge last week cited procedural grounds for his dismissal of a trio of lawsuits brought by abutters who oppose a 4-story, 72-unit housing complex on Centre Street next to Shawmut MBTA station.
In a succinct, 7-page decision, Judge Peter Krupp found that the plaintiffs missed a statutory deadline early in 2024 to file their complaints directed at the building’s developer— Trinity Financial Inc. — and the city’s Planning Department, which approved the project in November 2023…..”

“The decision is a victory for the development team led by longtime Dorchester resident Jim Keefe, one of the principals at Trinity Financial, Inc., which first proposed a building at the 150 Centre St. location in 2017.”

Rendering of 34 Wales St.


“The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans for 12 affordable condos in a three-story building at 34 Wales St. in Dorchester - kitty corner from where the city and a non-profit just opened a 20-unit apartment building for families coming out of homelessness.

The Rev. Willie Bodrick II and his brother, Winston, will put the building up under a city program that sells vacant lots to developers at low prices in exchange for affordable housing.

“Work on the second phase of an affordable housing complex near Codman Square – where two 4-story buildings will rise on vacant lots at 151 Spencer St. and 25 New England Ave. – is ready to begin this spring.

Talbot Commons II will bring an additional 42 units online by next year, according to the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corp. (NDC), which is leading the $32 million project with WNC Associates.

The buildings will resemble the nearby 40-unit Talbot Commons project on Norfolk Avenue, which broke ground in 2020 and is currently 100 percent occupied, with a 400-household waitlist.

The properties on Spencer Street and New England Avenue were approved by the city of Boston in late 2020 but were held up by financing difficulties until recently.

The buildings will provide affordable housing targeting families at various levels beneath the area median income (AMI)…….”

Rendering of exterior at street corner


“Davis Square Architects is currently working with the BT Group on the redevelopment of 185-191 Geneva Avenue in Dorchester, an underutilized site that will be replaced with a new five-story building containing 27 mixed-income rental units. Working with the natural grading of the site, the building will ascend toward the neighboring streets behind, with its height becoming visually “lower” from grade to roof while knitting together the existing neighborhood context.

Located only steps from the Geneva MBTA Commuter Rail station, bed.rock.geneva's inclusive transit-oriented design accommodates pedestrians, persons with disabilities, bicyclists, transit users, and motor vehicle drivers. The project also features a community room and green design elements, and will help invigorate the neighborhood by bringing more activity and people to the area.”
