Latest development proposals aim for Beacon Hill and the South End
A South End bakery and a Beacon Hill college building are the latest properties to be swept up by Boston’s red hot luxury apartment and condo boom.
A South End bakery and a Beacon Hill college building are the latest properties to be swept up by Boston’s red hot luxury apartment and condo boom.
Boston-developer Related Beal wants to build a big new residential and mixed-use complex in a fast gentrifying section of the South End once dominated by the Boston Herald, warehouse and industrial buildings, and parking lots.
Related Beal recently snapped up a pair of now empty buildings just down the street from the new Ink Block apartment/Whole Foods development that replaced the old Herald building.
The developer wants to tear down the Ho Kong Bean Sprout Co. at 370 Harrison Ave. and Quinzani’s Bakery at 380 Harrison Ave. and replace the two buildings with a 300,000-square-foot residential, retail and commercial project.
Related Beal provided a broad outline of its plans in a letter of intent filed with the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which will review the project over the coming months.
“We believe this project will revitalize a key block of the South End neighborhood,’’ wrote Kimberly Sherman Stamler, chief operating officer for the developer.
Over on Beacon Hill, local developers David Raftery, Matthew Snyder and David Ridini have scooped up a pair of six-story buildings at 33-51 Temple and 61 Temple St.
The developers plan to transform the buildings, previously used by Suffolk University for classrooms and administrative offices, into a 75-unit condo project with 60 parking spaces, according to a letter of intent filed with City Hall development officials.
