The owner of the building that now houses the Fernandez IV Liquors, a pizza place and a laundromat on Hancock Street at Trull Street has proposed expanding the building to add three residential floors – with the liquor store and laundromat staying during construction.
In a filing with the BPDA, Huy Nguyen says the new building would have six three-bedroom and six two-bedroom apartments, with the rest split between one-bedroom and studio units. Six of the apartments would be rented as affordable.
The building would have 14 parking spaces.
According to the filing:
The Proposed Project will contribute to the revitalization of this portion of Hancock Street by transforming the existing one (1) story commercial property, consisting of three (3) storefronts, into a mixed-use residential building that will match the surrounding neighborhood at an urban scale. Although the Proposed Project has been designed with a modern aesthetic, the building’s massing, setbacks, and carefully curated landscaping all lends towards a streetscape that is both cohesive with the existing architecture and welcoming to pedestrians.”
