Madison Park Development Corp. and Tropical Foods International have filed plans with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to build a $44 million mixed-use project on a 2.75-acre site known as Parcel 10 in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, Banker and Tradesman has learned.

The Madison Tropical team plans to construct a 40,000-square-foot supermarket on the property bounded by Melnea Cass Boulevard, Shawmut Avenue, Washington and Williams streets. That will allow Tropical to relocate its existing store, currently at the edge of the site on Washington Street, to the new development.

The proposal includes construction of a 54,000-square-foot building for retail and office space, and the rehabilitation of the existing 44,000-square-foot Tropical Foods property into apartments and retail space, according to the development team’s filing with the BRA.

The developers hope to start construction in July. Bank of America has offered a full New Markets Tax Credit allocation for the construction of the new supermarket, but that financing will only be available if the construction loan is closed by July, according to the filing signed by both Jeanne Pinado, CEO of Madison, and Ronn Garry, president of Tropical.   

The project will provide Roxbury residents "with meaningful economic development opportunities, greater access to healthy, affordable foods," and replace a long-time blighted property with attractive commercial buildings and mixed-income housing, the filing states.

The team will submit an expanded project notification form to the BRA in "the near future," the filing said.
