“The proposed project sits on a single lot with a total area of 4,380 square feet. The site is located at 2-8 Bowdoin Street, on the prominent corner at the intersection of Bowdoin Street, Washington Street, and Harvard Street in the Four Corners neighborhood of Dorchester. The project entails the construction of a seven-story building comprising 22 residential units, 2,400 square feet of commercial/restaurant space, and 1,500 square feet of shared tenant amenities, including bike parking, storage space, and an accessible roof deck for all building residents. Residents and restaurant visitors will access the proposed building from Bowdoin Street, while the trash room and bike storage access will be located off Bowdoin Avenue. This project is located within a ten-minute walk (0.4 mile) of the Four Corners/Geneva MBTA Commuter Rail Station, is adjacent to bus route 23 along Washington St and within a 15-minute walk to the Fields Corner Red Line T Stop. The proponent aims to revitalize the square and attract businesses back to the immediate area. The proposed ground floor is set back from the property line to create a continuous overhang, illuminating the immediate sidewalk and adjacent areas to foster a safer environment for local residents at night. These public realm improvements, coupled with sidewalk upgrades and planted street trees, are intended to enhance vibrancy and attract local visitors to the area.”

The setback makes for an inviting front door. That is a lost art

This is really a huge win for this neighborhood. It’s one of the most scrappy parts of Boston and this will give this major intersection a big facelift. Hopefully will help the rest of Harvard St which is still pretty rough.
 
One thing I was confused about is how that ends up looking like the render. I looked on gooogle earth though and its clear thats looking at the back of the building. Def a win for the area.

Rendering of proposed four-story 23 Nottingham St.

Developer KZ Builders - named for owners Senam Kumahia and former City Councilor Josh Zakim - won the right to build on the land from the Mayor's Office of Housing with a promise to rent the apartments to people making between 80% and 100% of the Boston-area median income.
The building will have eight parking spaces….”

New apartments lock up approval next to Fortress self-storage building in South Bay​

Proposed apartment building


“The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans for a six-story, 59-unit apartment building on what is now a parking lot next to the Fortress self-story building off I-93 in Dorchester, once famous for its giant inflatable lock.
Cobalt Development's plans for 101-109 Boston St. include eight affordableapartments and a total of ten parking spaces.
The plans also call for a ground-floor cafe. The company's lawyer, Joseph Hanley, said the cafe would be a complement to its neighboring businesses at the mall, not competition, and would help "activate" what is now a fairly desolate stretch between the mall and the expressway - as will new street trees and widened sidewalks.
The new building will have two roof decks, once atop part of the first floor, the other at the top of the building……..”
