A developer is proposing to redevelop a North End parking lot and single-story commercial building as a 135-room hotel.
Cross Street Ventures proposes a 6-story, 87,142-square-foot hotel at 28-50 Cross St. and 55-57 Endicott St., according to a letter of intent submitted to the Boston Planning & Development agency.
As proposed, the project has a floor area ratio of 5.5 and will require height and FAR variances from the zoning board of appeals. The project would be built on a 0.31-acre site.
The designs include a passageway from the Greenway to Cutillo Park and reprogramming of Cross Street plaza to promote pedestrian activity and public safety, the notification letter states.
“The project site remains one of the last parcels along the Greenway to complete the vision of a vibrant community space with unique buildings that reflect Boston’s historic neighborhoods,” Senior Project Manager Katie Moniz of Fort Point Assoc. wrote.
