South Boston bar and building owner wins approval for new East Broadway building - on condition he doesn't put a bar in it
750broadwayrendering.jpg




The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans by Joey Arcari to replace what is now a vacant lot at 748-750 East Boradway at L Street with a four-story building: Ground-floor retail space topped by three residential floors with a total of nine apartments.

The board approved the proposal after Arcari's lawyer, George Morancy, said Arcari, who owns the Broadway and the Playright, agreed to fill the ground-floor space with something other than a bar or restaurant, like a store of some kind.

Arcari also agreed to rent one of the apartments, a two-bedroom unit, as affordable, to a tenant making no more than 110% of the Boston-area median income, which would mean a maximum monthly rent of $2,679, Morancy said. The city's affordable-housing requirement only kicks in with projects of ten or more units.

Approved

South Boston Dot Ave Study area will bring new homes to 44 Ellery Street in Andrew Square
b67b4d39-8d94-4782-a89f-9d492c4cedb9

A new six story building at 44 Ellery Street will bring 18 homeownership residential units, including three income-restricted units to the Andrew Square area of South Boston. The project is consistent with the BPDA’s PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue, which focuses on the revitalization of largely low-density industrial uses, by promoting an urban, mixed-use neighborhood. The project will create new transit-oriented homeownership units in South Boston, and create new accessible sidewalks and crosswalks.

The main entrance is provided at-grade and accessed on Dorchester Avenue.

Developer revives decade-old plan for apartments on vacant lot on H Street in South Boston

“A Newton developer says he's finally ready to break ground on a three-story, 127-unit apartment building at H and East 1st streets in South Boston, more than 10 years after what was then the BRA approved the project.

In a filing this week with what is now the BPDA, Peter Zagorianakos is asking for permission to break ground on the 1.5-acre site without requiring a new series of public meetings and hearings for the project, which would also include 157 parking spaces in an underground garage and ground-floor retail space.

Zagorianakos is asking to change the formal BPDA approval to let him voluntarily set aside 16 units as "workforce" units for people earning between 100% and 120% of the Boston area median income. Unlike today, in 2012, the city did not require any units be set aside as "affordable," let alone for "workforce" housing for people making just over the amounts that would qualify as "affordable."

"....Peter Zagorianakos is asking for permission to break ground on the 1.5-acre site without requiring a new series of public meetings and hearings for the project...........,Unlike today, in 2012, the city did not require any units be set aside as "affordable...."

I'm sorry, but HELL NO.

This guy sat on a desperately needed housing stock project for 11 years - and he wants a retroactive benefit???? 'Hey everybody, I want to pay 2012 prices at the supermarket this afternoon!' - the BPDA should refuse his request to benefit from that procrastination and should make him abide by the current affordable unit requirement. :eek:

What's even more brilliant is how it plays off of the other peninsula-like building a couple of blocks behind it up the street. I love how these two play off each other. This shows a real consciousness of neighboring context.

Two blocks behind it:
