Overview
Dorchester Development Site on Blue Hill
This offering features a two-parcel development assemblage situated on the Blue Hill Avenue corridor in Dorchester. The parcels are offered together as a unified, shovel-ready site. Zoned S3 (Active Main Street) under Boston's Squares + Streets framework, the site permits multifamily residential development as-of-right under Article 26, as confirmed in writing by the City of Boston Planning Department. This eliminates the need for a ZBA hearing, rezoning petition, or entitlement process. The S3 zoning allows for structures up to 7 stories or 85 feet in height, with floor plates reaching up to 20,000 square feet. Transportation options include the Shawmut and Ashmont Red Line stations, located approximately 1.1 and 1.5 miles away, respectively. Ashmont serves as a major transit hub connecting the Red Line and Mattapan Trolley. Multiple MBTA bus routes directly serve Blue Hill Avenue. Recreational amenities include Roberts Playground and Thetford Evans Playground, both within half a mile. This property presents an infill opportunity for an experienced developer ready to move quickly on a transit-accessible site.
