BOSTON—The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved a number of projects earlier this week, the largest being The Dock Square Garage redevelopment project here.
The BPDA approved the plan proposed by an affiliate of Brooklyn, NY-based Fortis Property Group that will build a mixed-use development atop of the Dock Square Garage in Downtown Boston.
The project at 20 Clinton St. will involve a six-story vertical addition to the garage that according to the BPDA will feature approximately 209 residential units, including 27 income-restricted units.
Dock Square Garage will maintain much of the existing parking with roughly 450 parking spaces. To accommodate a new ground-floor residential lobby, the existing commercial space will be reconfigured to approximately 11,500 square feet, including a new commercial space facing John F. Fitzgerald Surface Road.
The development is projected to create approximately 200 construction jobs, including 20 permanent jobs.
Mitigation from the project includes a contribution to the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway Conservancy for artwork along the Greenway and to the Boston Transportation Department for transportation improvements in the vicinity of the project site.
The BPDA approved development projects that in total will create an additional 324 residential units, including 39 income-restricted units, and 717 trade jobs, 572 direct jobs and 382 indirect and induced jobs in Downtown Boston, West Roxbury and East Boston.
In addition to development projects, the BPDA Board approved a request authorization to advertise and issue a Request for Proposal for Consultant Services for PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue Transportation. This transportation planning initiative prioritizes the mobility recommendations outlined in PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Ave and is in coordination with Mayor Walsh's Imagine Boston 2030.
