Redevelopment of Stop & Shop Supermarket Co.’s 11-acre shopping center property next to the Boston Landing MBTA station in Allston would include 1,050 apartments and condominiums and 300,000 square feet of class A office space.

The grocery chain released details of its 1.9-million-square-foot Allston Yards project, which will be master-planned by Boston-based New England Development.

The property contains a 100,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by Stop & Shop. The supermarket would remain open during construction but be replaced by a “state-of-the-art, flagship” grocery store as part of the first phase beginning construction in spring 2019, according to a project notification form submitted this week to the Boston Planning and Development Agency.

Three residential buildings ranging from 16 to 20 stories and a 14-story office building would replace the shopping center and its parking lot. An L-shaped building with 10 stories of townhouses and a 16-story apartment wing would be built above the supermarket podium on the eastern edge of the site bordering Everett Street.

Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects is the master planner and Stantec of Boston is the architect. The project team also includes multifamily specialist Bozzuto Group and Southside Investment Partners, both of Baltimore.

The rapid lease-up of office and lab buildings at New Balance Inc.’s 15-acre Boston Landing development just west of the Stop & Shop property has made Allston a destination for a wide range of industries, particularly life science companies. New Balance’s NB Development real estate arm paid for construction of a new MBTA commuter rail station on the Framingham/Worcester line, which opened last May, increasing the neighborhood’s appeal to office tenants and multifamily developers.

Global Atlantic Financial Group relocated from Southborough and Harvard Business Publishing moved from Watertown to the former New Balance office building at 20 Guest St.

New training facilities for the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics anchor a pair of new office and lab buildings. Framingham audio component manufacturer Bose Corp., Proteostasis Therapeutics and Roche Diagnostics Operations leased space above the Bruins’ Warrior Ice Arena at 80 Guest St. And Mass Innovation Labs recently leased 84,000 square feet at 40 Guest St., which contains two stories of office and lab space beneath the Celtics’ Auerbach Center, now nearing completion.
