Tim Pappas (Sun Condos, LLC) proposes to develop a new “boutique/select-service” hotel on the former Sunoco Gas Station site – at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and West Broadway.
Adjacent to the Gillette complex, across the street from the MBTA’s Broadway Station and just over the bridge from the South End, the proposed hotel project will further revitalize the Broadway Station area by providing a contemporary, cutting-edge and affordably-priced hotel with related dining and hospitality amenities at this important gateway location in the west side of the South Boston neighborhood. In keeping with the “boutique/select service” model, the developer is in discussions with potential hotel operators TBD (for example Indigo, Andaz, Standard, etc).
The proposed hotel will also address the City’s lack of reasonably-priced high-quality hotel options within close proximity to the Innovation District, BCEC and Downtown, while providing an anchor hotel, hospitality and restaurant use as part of the revitalization of Broadway in South Boston. The project is also unique to South Boston itself, which has seen a major increase in residential expansion with no local hotel outlet.
With direct access to the T and all major highways nearby, the hotel is situated in close proximity to the Innovation District, BCEC and Downtown, at a unique and emerging location in the South Boston neighborhood itself. While the site is too limited in lot area to allow for proper underground or on-site parking, the hotel will integrate a circular courtyard drive for full-service valet, temporary parking and related vehicle circulation.
The proposed project will also involve the environmental clean-up of a contaminated, vacant lot, with anestimated construction cost of $30 million, approximately 150 construction jobs.
Hotel Details:
152 Rooms
12 Stories
Banquet Facilities including two large meeting rooms and a film screening room
