More housing and retail may be coming to South Boston’s Dorchester Avenue
The Boston Redevelopment Authority has a preliminary plan of what Dorchester Avenue may look like in the future.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority has been working on a Dorchester Avenue study since the summer and has now released sketches detailing what it thinks the future of the industrial South Boston neighborhood might be.
The Boston Globe detailed what the sketches look like, saying:
“The Boston Redevelopment Authority is circulating sketches of what a stretch of the street lined by low-rise warehouses and staging yards would look like as a corridor of retail and apartment buildings, some as tall as 300 feet. There would be parks laced throughout, with better sidewalks and 12 blocks of new streets added in back toward the South Bay Rail Yard.’’
The BRA hopes that its zoning plan is approved next spring, according to the Globe, but some changes can already be seen in the area, such as the construction of a four-story condo building near Andrew Square and a proposed eight-building complex with 656 apartments nearby.
The Globe notes that many housing developments can be expected for the area.
