Another development team is joining the Roxbury housing pipeline with plans for 132 apartments and condominiums in a pair of buildings overlooking Nubian Square.
The project is a partnership between SV + Partners, Trax Development and Caste Capital, which also is partnering on the redevelopment of the West End branch of the Boston Public Library to add 119 affordable housing units. Patrick Kimble, a former executive at The Davis Cos., founded Caste in December.
The 1.7-acre site at 10 Malcolm X Blvd. site includes an office building, which will remain. The two residential buildings would replace surface parking and undeveloped land.
A 111-unit apartment building is proposed at 20 Malcolm X Blvd., while the 21-unit condo building would be built on the 70 Dudley St. portion of the site.
Two-thirds of the condos will include two or three bedrooms, and five will be income-restricted at 80 to 100 percent of area median income. The rental portion of the project proposes 17 income-restricted units at 70 percent of AMI.
Developers also are proposing a 33-space parking garage and 1,800 square feet of community retail space facing Malcolm X Boulevard.
The project will award at least 40 percent of design and soft costs contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses, according to the project notification form submitted this week to the Boston Planning & Development Agency.
Members of the project team include Michael D’Angelo Landscape Architecture, permitting consultant Bevco Associates and community and government affairs advisors Jay Walsh, Lance Campbell and Josh Zakim.
