A South Boston property where an Amazon last-mile delivery station proposal fell through is back in the development pipeline, this time with plans for four towers on Dorchester Avenue ranging from 11 to 17 stories.

Boston-based Core Investments is seeking to build a mix of office, lab, retail and residential space, including nearly 1.2 million square feet of lab/research space and 196 housing units.

The parcels just north of the MBTA’s Andrew Square Red Line station span 9 acres and have been used for equipment storage and parking.

The project plan filed this week with the Boston Planning & Development Agency shows four buildings:

• A 17-story tower at 75 Ellery St. including office, lab and R&D space;
• A 16-story tower at 65 Ellery St. including office, lab and R&D space;
• A 13-story building at 495 Dorchester Ave. including 196 housing units and 73,200 square feet of office space;
• An 11-story building at 505 Dorchester Ave. including lab and R&D space.

Each tower would contain ground-floor retail space totaling 62,000 square feet. The plans call for 600 parking spaces on-site.

Core Investments had proposed an Amazon last-mile delivery station on the property as the first phase of a larger master-planned development. But the BPDA board of directors publicly opposed the project, citing the BPDA’s planning studies that encouraged higher-density mixed-use development between Andrew and Broadway stations.

Core Investments also has begun conversion of two existing industrial buildings at 2 and 4 Alger St., just north of the site, into lab-ready space. 

Charlestown-based Trademark Partners is acting as project manager for the owners of the property.
