Overview

This recently vacated, now vacant brick mixed-use building includes four residential units and one large commercial unit. The property requires rehabilitation, making it a strong candidate for renovation and potential reconfiguration to better suit modern mixed-use operations. Additional materials include a site plan and proposed renovation plans attached for review.

The building is situated on the South Boston and Dorchester line and is described as being in close proximity to public transportation, including the JFK/UMASS and the Andrew Square Redline MBTA stations. Access is also described as easy to Routes I-93 North and South and the Massachusetts Turnpike, supporting convenient travel for residents, customers, and visitors.

For buyers and developers, the asset offers a straightforward mixed-use foundation—residential income alongside a larger commercial component—while acknowledging the need for full rehabilitation. The roof is described as providing unobstructed city views. A separate City of Boston liquor license is also listed as available for sale with the property, which may be relevant for qualified operators considering food and beverage concepts within the commercial space.
