The Boston Planning and Development Authority’s board voted to approve a new five-story mixed-use building on Dorchester Avenue last week.
The 20-unit apartment complex at 1857-1859 Dorchester Avenue will also house a first floor retail space. The property owner and developer—Connelly Construction— has committed to donate $10,000 to two community organizations: the Martin Richard Foundation and the City Youth Sports Training & Education Movement. T
he 28,896 sq. ft. building will include a mix of 16 two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units. Three units will be marketed as “affordable.” The building will also include 24 on-site parking spaces.
