A six-block mini-community with hundreds of housing units, a grocery store and a public green is under design for a swath of unused industrial land in South Boston.
Boston developer Core Investments Inc. and real estate investment firm Ad Meliora LLC's plans for the mixed-use development at Old Colony Avenue and Dorchester Street near Andrew Square include approximately 700 housing units, mostly apartments and many of which would be targeted toward middle-class tenants, the companies said in a statement yesterday. Representatives were unavailable for comment.
The still-unnamed project also would incorporate 76,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, including a 20,000-square-foot-plus grocery store, and a 1-acre central outdoor public gathering space.
The goal is to bring economic vitality to Andrew Square by creating a walkable neighborhood with community-focused businesses, according to the development team, which is operating under the name of DJ Properties LLC.
"After working with and listening to the community in and around Andrew Square for more than four years, we have begun shaping a project that we think will be a huge improvement to the neighborhood in many ways — from the new middle-class homes to places to shop and eat, and, in addition, a large place for people to meet," DJ Properties said in a statement. "There will be better connectivity with the surrounding neighborhoods via new pedestrian ways and public streets."
The five-acre development would include eight buildings along Old Colony Avenue and Damrell Street and on either side of Alger Street, which would be extended to Dorchester Street. Vacant industrial buildings currently occupy the site, where DJ Properties has been acquiring parcels for about the past four years.
The project currently calls for two "slender" retail towers with 20 and 21 floors — and heights of 230 and 240 feet, respectively — and retail and parking at the bottom. The six other buildings would range from three to six floors. Garage parking for 450 cars and 130 surface spaces for retail customers is planned.
The project would be built in phases, with the grocery store and park constructed first.
DJ Properties, which said it has had early talks with the Boston Redevelopment Authority about the project, plans to file initial documents with the agency "in the near future."
