It’s among several office buildings and warehouses, so I don’t see the wast. There is no way your going to put housing in this place.

Landscrapers like this belong out on 495. Going forward no building in this city should be built wider than it is tall.

“The Boston Planning & Development Agency has approved the sixth and final phase of the Boston Housing Authority’s redevelopment of the Old Colony housing project in South Boston.

Phase six includes the development of a five-story building which will be entirely income-restricted – including age-restricted senior housing. The 89 units will be a mix of one-, two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom units.

The project will include ground floor community space, which developers expect to be leased by a local South Boston arts organization working with low-income individuals, according to the filing.

It will also contribute to area improvements including new neighborhood pedestrian connections, and onsite bicycle storage.”

Just continue the street grid, Jesus.

My thoughts exactly. This kind of dramatic deviation from the established urban fabric is a hallmark of public housing projects. It seems like the whole point of it is to visually announce to everyone that this is subsidized housing for poor people and it is separate and distinct from the surrounding neighborhood. This is such an obviously awful approach to designing public housing.
 
I mean it's a restoration of the grid in the west half of Southie.

It's too bad they realized commercial space would be useful too late for Old Colony --- only Lynch nearby. Shops serving Carson beach would be great.

This whole area is totally razed now and it's amazing to drive by as someone who grew up just a few blocks away. The other public housing rebuilds in the area are so much better than the old brick miasma that was there forever, and this too will be a big upgrade.

Apartments could replace tool company on B Street in South Boston
By adamg on Mon, 07/03/2023 - 10:13am
Rendering of proposed 118 B St.


“A South Boston developer has proposed replacing the Hinds & Coon tool company at 118 B St., off West 3rd Street, with a five-story, 37-unit apartment building.
In a filing with the BPDA last week, developer Charles McCarthy is proposing 26 parking spaces in an at-grade garage. Six of the apartments would be rented as affordable.
McCarthy hopes to begin roughly 15 months of construction on the $20-million project by mid-2024. In addition to the BPDA, he will also need variances from the Zoning Board of Appeal.”

“This Beacon Communities project in South Boston creates a total of 208 units within two new buildings. Designed by The Architectural Team, WaypointKLA is managing the project. The soil is urban fill and will be managed under a soil management plan. Demolition of the seven existing buildings as well as building hazardous material removal, environmental site remediation and other site including utility cut and cap work on the site began in the fall of 2022. Once demolition is complete, two new buildings will be constructed. Phase Four is 104 units with some common space on the ground floor in one building and Phase Five is 104 units. The new buildings are slated for completion in the fall of 2024.”
