City officials this week endorsed a proposed $138 million project that stands to transform the lower end of Mission Hill with the redevelopment of two long-vacant lots into 305,750 square feet of apartments and commercial space.
Mission Hill Neighborhood Housing Services' project calls for 88 apartments, 196,000 square feet of office space, 10,000 square feet of retail and parking on Parcel 25, located across from the MBTA's Roxbury Crossing Station.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority on Thursday approved the project, which is expected to be completed in three phases.
"This project will do for the down-slope of Mission Hill what One Brigham Circle has done for the top of Mission Hill," former Boston City Councilor Michael Ross testified at the BRA meeting. One Brigham Circle is a 190,000-square-foot office and retail building, with Stop & Shop as an anchor tenant, that's adjacent to the Longwood Medical Area.
The new project site encompasses nearly two acres bordered by Tremont, Gurney and Station streets. The largest of the two lots, Parcel 25, is former MBTA property that has sat vacant since the 1960s, when it was cleared for an extension of Interstate 95 that was never built.
"This will really activate the area and be a nice new gateway for that neighborhood," BRA spokesman Nick Martin said.
The BRA also gave the go-ahead for Boston University's $140 million, nine-story Center for Integrated Life Sciences and Engineering, which will be constructed on a parking lot at 610 Commonwealth Ave., just outside Kenmore Square.
