The Boston Planning and 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.
The latest proposal for redevelopment of Roxbury’s parcel P3 emphasizes affordable housing production, including 498 income-restricted apartments along with 180,000 square feet of office and lab space.
A 1.1-million-square-foot development will remake over 5 acres on South Boston’s Dorchester Avenue with four towers containing labs, housing and retail space.
Tremont Asset Management hopes to raise a 19-story tower on the site of an early 1900s apartment building it owns next to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
The technical school had been poised to stabilize its finances through the sale of its century-old home in South End to developer Related Beal, while building a new facility in the emerging business and arts cluster in Roxbury, according to designs reshaped by the pandemic.
Related Beal’s 311,000-square-foot proposed redevelopment of Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology’s campus in Boston’s South End neighborhood includes a senior care facility, up to 76,000 square feet of offices and subsidized ground-floor cultural space for the neighborhood’s arts and nonprofit community.
Pending relocation of Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology to Roxbury is opening up a development opportunity for Related Beal in Boston’s South End.
