South Boston Infill and Small Developments

Re: South Boston Development

Seriously, why did they not fix the ugly headhouse?
 
Re: South Boston Development

The MBTA is seriously behind the times when it comes to TOD. This as well as the shuttered exit at Chinatown in the new Millennium III building are perfect examples of where the developer could have built taller by opening or rebuilding a headhouse.

Millenium Partners definitely wanted to open up Chinatown pretty bad. The fucking MBTA admoronstration didn't want it. So ridiculous.

Developer: "Hey, we'll open this place up for you and make it nice... for free!"

MBTA: "Fuck dat! We ain't need yo pity money!"

^^^ That's it! Now we have to figure what he is up to. It's funny that a lot of the smaller developers in Southie seem to want to do things in secrecy. i've even had a couple challenge me for taking pics of their projects. What's the big deal?

Looks like they wisely decided to nix the vinyl-siding-looking-stuff in the renderings.

West Square SE corner 1/10

West Square SW corner 1/10
They are pouring foundations at 339 D Street. They are also demolishing the building at the SE corner of D Street and W. First. ( White building with the blue stripes) I don't think it is part of the 339 D Str. project, but I could be wrong.

339 D Str. 1/10


Eleven W. Broadway 1/10
Foundations being poured on the east portion of the site. 1/10

401 W. First Str. 1/10
This is the building on the east side of the site, however the foundations have been poured for the building on the west side of the site. 1/10 The single family house (also part of this project) which fronts on E. First is almost buttoned up for winter interior work.

630 E. Second Str. 1/10


637 E. First Str. 1/10

Did someone already mention that Stephi's in Southie (of Stephanie's and Stephi's on Tremont fame) is going into 11 W Broadway? It is.

Apartment projects approved for Southie, Fenway
January 18, 2013
By Greg Turner / Boston Herald


City planners approved a developer’s bid to knock down two buildings on West Broadway in South Boston and put up a six-story apartment building with a contemporary design.

The $12.5 million project, approved last night by the Boston Redevelopment Authority board, is next to the Cornerstone Restaurant and across from the Broadway MBTA station in an area that’s becoming known for innovative residential architecture such as the Macallen Building.

“It’s a gateway into South Boston. It’s a neighborhood right here on this corner with some amazing buildings that have been going up and that have been there in the past,” said Michael LeBlanc, principal at Utile Inc., the architect for developer Evergreen Property Group of Canton.

The building will have 31 units — a mix of studios, one- and two-bedrooms — and double the amount of ground-floor retail space, to about 4,000 square feet. That will provide a new space for the Station News convenience store and possibly a new restaurant.

“We think this is a great amenity for the neighborhood in terms of street life, retail use,” LeBlanc said.

A Dunkin’ Donuts located there is moving up the street. The building will have 18 parking spaces. Construction is expected to start in April, with work wrapping up in the summer of 2014.
