South End Infill and Small Developments

Anyone know what's happening with the existing building at the other end of the block on the Albany side? It looks to have been vacated.

Thats good to see, theres only a couple open blocks left in the ink block area. Itll be nice to see when it fills in completely.
 
Not sure where the individual thread is but 80 E Berkeley St now has jersey barriers encircling the lot/ parking has been discontinued at the site (pic for reference/ memory jog below)...

Was there anything proposed for the herald st parking garage? Feels like such a waste of good space and it's an eyesore too.

You could fit 3 - 400' tall buildings on that one garage.
 
Druker owns it, so it'll be built on one day.

The biggest lots are still on Washington and there's some old taxpayers down the blocks towards Union Park. Those'll go before Air Rights.
 
Demo the derelict housing project/parking swamp north of that site and build some contextual 4 story mixed public/market rate housing.
 
Absolutely bizarre rendering. The C Mart parcel has an approved set of developments for it, too.
 
Also, the screen grabbed showing Boston looks like it's at keast 20 years old.

Yeah, that's another really long story. he has a 'newer' rendering that squishes things together so he is not on the CMart parcel. let me see if I can get that screen grab...

Oh weird, now it just omits the past ~4 years of development.
 
IBA wins approval for new South End headquarters, community center and performance space; current HQ to become affordable housing

Rendering of new IBA building

Rendering by Studio ENÉE.

“The Zoning Board of Appeal this week approved plans by Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción for a $25-million Center for the Arts, Self-Determination, and Activism at 85 West Newton St. in the South End.
The four-story building, with 65% more space than the current IBA buildings on Shawmut Avenue and San Juan Street, will include a two-story performance and event space, classrooms, community spaces, offices, conference rooms and a staff gym. It will replace a converted church that IBA had used until it tore it down in 2020 due to severe structural damage.
Roughly one year construction is expected to begin this fall, IBA says.
IBA, which started in the 1960s as part of a movement to fight South End gentrification, currently owns 667 apartments in the area. Once the new center opens, it hopes to convert its current buildings at 2 San Juan St. and 405 Shawmut Ave. into 45 to 55 new affordable apartments.”
