49-51 D street | South Boston

PNF is out for this little project on D Street. Lots to like:

1. No parking
2. 71 residential units over 9 stories, >73,000 gross sf and 1,500sf of commercial
3. Midway between the Broadway and Andrew T stops
4. Continues the infill trend along the Old Colony corridor that's about to be built up

Unfortunately variances are needed still for FAR, open space, and side/rear setbacks. Despite there being no direct residential abutters, the neighbors are going to hate it and complain about parking...which amazingly does not require a variance.

Looks pretty cool imo, nice to see many of these mid rises are moving away from being blue glass cubes. Its also cool that this area is going to be built up deeper into the neighborhood vs just lining dot ave like a mini sheikh zayed road. Hopefully more of these parcels end up as residential vs labs because the lab market is probably near capacity but we could keep building mid rises at a break neck pace if they just go residential. Cant wait to see it evolve.
 
D St being realigned and also made to have a tree lined median was interesting to see.
 
Is there a long term plan to try to get Marr out of the adjacent lots to connect this back towards Dot Ave better?

they were against the zero parking. they are typically pro development in this area.

There's a reference to D St realignment on the renders, but I couldn't find anything in a standalone article. In the PNF for this project there are a few references to adjusting the grid. Not sure about timing:

the realignment is from the PLAN Dot Ave study. this development is not implementing it.
 
I know the development isn't implementing it, just referencing it, and it was the only explicit reference I could find. Thanks for the PLAN Dot reference, it wasn't obvious to find the source on Google.
