A local developer has proposed constructing a 32 unit mixed-use residential development on a commercial parking lot at 279 Maverick Street.
According to a Small Project Review application filed last week with the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA), MG2 wants to convert the 12,400 sq. ft. lot 279 Maverick St. and a portion of the parcel at 273 Maverick St. into a five-story, 32 unit residential development with 18 parking spots inside a 4,313 sq. ft. ground-level garage. The project also includes space for 34 bike racks.
In addition, there will be 1,774 sq. ft. of retail space as part of the project.
The residential units include a mix of three studio, 17 one bedroom, 9 two bedroom and 3 three bedroom units.
According to MG2’s filing with the BPDA the building’s massing is derived from the neighboring project at 287 Maverick St. that is presently under construction.
Five of the 32 units would be deemed ‘affordable’ under the BPDA’s inclusionary program.
While the proposal has already set off a firestorm of negative comments on social media, the BPDA will host the project’s first virtual public meeting on November 17 at 6 pm.
