A developer proposes more housing in a section of South Boston undergoing widespread conversions of industrial properties to higher-income-generating uses.

The latest development would demolish a manufacturing building at 49-51 D St. for construction of 75 housing units in a 75,000-square-foot building. The proposal includes a 9-story building and 20 garaged vehicle parking spaces.

The property was acquired in August 2022 for $7.5 million by Farragut LLC 79, an entity managed by Sing Ming Chan who is listed as proponent of the project.

The one-third-acre property contains a 2-story, 12,714-square-foot manufacturing building completed in 1929.

Developers propose 13 income-restricted units, or 17 percent of the total.

Because the D Street site is located in a manufacturing zoning district, it will require Zoning Board of Appeal approval of a conditional use permit for residential use along with dimensional relief, according to a notification letter submitted to the Boston Planning & Development Agency by attorney George Morancy.

The industrial neighborhood off Dorchester Avenue is the location of several major redevelopment projects by local developers.

Core Investments is seeking approval for a 3.8 million-square-foot mixed-use project known as On the Dot on a 21-acre site on the western side of Dorchester Avenue.

National Development is redeveloping another site at 323-365 Dorchester Ave. in its 1.1 million-square-foot Iron Works project approved in 2021.

And the first apartments began leasing this summer at South Standard, the first building nearing completion in the Washington Village residential project at 235 Old Colony Ave.
