A peek at what the South End’s tallest new construction might look like
A new developer filing includes details of a proposed 710-unit, two building apartment complex between Harrison Avenue and Albany Street in the South End, The Boston Globe reported. It could reach as high as 19 stories, making it the tallest new construction in the South End.
Leggat McCall Properties, which is developing the project with Multi-Employer Property Trust and adviser Bentall Kennedy, gave the Boston Redevelopment Authority more project details on Tuesday night, including renderings of what it might look like.
According to the Globe:
“The 3.1-acre development, between East Dedham and East Canton Streets, will also include about 14,000 square feet of retail space and 40,000 square feet of office space, along with new open space and an underground garage.”
Leggat McCall wrote in its expanded project notification form that “the project site, purchased from Boston Medical Center, is an underutilized site dominated by a surface parking lot and partially occupied medical office buildings that do not activate the street level in a meaningful way, resulting in uninviting streets and a challenge in creating a sense of place,” Boston Business Journal reported.
