The Dorsey (Née The Smith) | 575 Albany | South End

Is it just me, or is this thread incorrectly titled? I was thoroughly confused looking for this on Harrison, and only figured out where it was when I noticed a street sign in one of the pictures.

It looks like a couple different (related?) projects between Harrison and Albany along E. Dedham Street have gotten conflated.

That's one of the best looking residential buildings to go up in a long time.

There's no conflation. This is Phase 3 of the Harrison Albany Block Project, which also includes the Smith along East Dedham Street and a future expansion of the 600 Harrison Avenue medical office building (Gambro). The 575 Albany Street portion was sold off by Leggat McCall/MEPT to New Boston Ventures back in 2024, but the Planning Department has still been treating this as part of the larger master project.

OK, but you actually made my point, and the one noted above that I was commenting on: the title of this thread does not well represent the building pictured at 575 Albany Street. That building is NOT The Smith at 660 Harrison Ave. (And in fact The Smith does not use the Harrison Ave address, it uses 89 E. Dedham Street.)

I understand that this all began as a block long project -- but it now has distinct components and different developers, and only the middle two buildings are The Smith.
 
Fair enough that the thread title could use a redo, that's a good point.

I was just pointing out that this part of the same overall project as the Smith and the 660 Harrison building. The fact that the title has the address for Phase IV (which hasn't even commenced yet) suggested to me that this was never a thread exclusively devoted to the Smith. All of these projects are also still subject to the same Development Plan and the BPDA has been accordingly treating this deal as a phase of that larger plan.
 
The real question is when can the other Harrison-Albany blocks get such treatment. Lots of vacant lots across Deadham...
