The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved seven projects that will create 485 housing units, including a three-building redevelopment of Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology Campus in South End and an affordable housing tower in Chinatown.

Related Beal’s plans for the BFIT campus at 41 Berkeley St. include three buildings containing 236 assisted living units, 35 home ownership units and 16 age- and income-restricted units. The trade school is relocating to Roxbury’s Nubian Square, where it broke ground in April on a new 68,000-square-foot campus scheduled to open in fall 2024.

The project, designed by Hacin + Assoc. and Stimson Studio, will retain the existing BFIT building’s historic facades and part of the existing floors, and include a 1-story addition, while adding two additional, 10-story buildings on the site.

In Chinatown, the Asian Community Development Corp. of Boston will develop a 12-story affordable housing tower including a ground-floor branch of the Boston Public Library. Built on a BPDA-owned lot at 49-63 Hudson St., the Stantec-designed building will include 44 condominiums offered to households earning a maximum 100 percent of area median income, and 66 apartments reserved for households earning 30 to 80 percent of AMI. ACDC will partner with a joint venture of Consigli Construction and Smoot Construction to meet diversity, equity and inclusion goals for the project team.

BPDA directors also approved WS Development’s revisions to the next phase of its Seaport project, including a 600-unit residential building, an office-lab building at 120 Seaport Blvd. and a 1.4-acre Seaport Common park. The housing will include a 28-percent affordable component, or 170 units.

In Jamaica Plain’s Hyde Square, affordable housing developer Pennrose will build 55 income-restricted units in a 63,148-square-foot renovation of Blessed Sacrament Church. The nonprofit Hyde Square Task Force selected Pennrose’s proposal in November 2021 to develop a mix of housing, performance and multi-use space at the vacant church. The task force will program performances at a new public plaza to be constructed in front of the building.

In Fort Point, developer BentallGreenOak received approval to demolish a 6-story parking garage at 17 Farnsworth St. to build a 4-story, 78,252-square-foot life science building.

A Morrissey Boulevard hotel will be demolished and replaced by a 229-unit apartment complex developed by The Michaels Organization. The 2-acre site, currently occupied by the Ramada by Wyndham, will be redeveloped as a 6-story, 199,180-square-foot apartment building. The $115 million project will include 34 income-restricted units.

And in Roxbury, developer Klaus Kimel received approval for a 40-unit residential building at 1 Taber St.
