The South Bay Town Center project expects to finish its first two buildings in early November, marking the first completion milestone in the sprawling mixed-use development, according to a schedule update presented to the John W. McCormack Civic Association at its general meeting Tuesday night.

Both buildings will include ground floor retail and restaurant space, one of which will have five stories of parking above. The other will include a 12-screen AMC cinema located on the second floor.

Tenants announced so far are: AMC, Nike, Wahlburger’s, Carter’s, Starbucks, Ulta, F21 Red, MidiCi (Neapolitan pizza), Gyu-Kaku (Japanese BBQ), and J.P. Licks.

The first tenant openings are planned for late November or early December – just in time for the new Star Wars film – contingent upon city inspections. Final town center completion is expected in summer 2019, occurring in stages.

Another update consumed most of the meeting, which ran late to continue discussions on a medical marijuana dispensary proposed for a free-standing building at 50 Clapp St.

Aidan O’Donovan and his company, Natural Selections, returned to the civic group with a revised presentation, including proposed community benefits. They would set a minimum $40 purchase price, not sell any cannabis paraphernalia, improve lighting on the site and down the street, pay for 24/7 security as well as fund additional police presence and security cameras around the area, and prohibit consumption of the products on the property.

They also pledged annual contributions to local programs, including 1.5 percent of annual revenue to be split between three neighborhood groups like McCormack Civic.

Hours of operation are still planned for 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, though the operators said they would be open to cutting down hours once a week if the community pushed for it. Natural Selections would also impose a moratorium on applying to sell recreational marijuana until 2020, and then only if the business has been open for a full year to “build trust.”

As with prior discussions on the site, attendees zeroed in on the question of expanding into recreational marijuana, which was legalized in 2016 and refined in the Legislature. Concerns around traffic, attracting drug users from elsewhere along Massachusetts Avenue, possible spikes in crime, and proximity to residences and schools were again points of contention.

The membership is expected to vote on the dispensary at its Nov. 21 meeting.
