Landmark Commission to Review 'Ink Block' Proposal Tonight

Public comments on the project to the Boston Redevelopment Authority are now due Friday, March 30.

 

The South End Landmark District Commission will review National Development’s “Ink Block” proposal for the former Boston Herald site at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 6, in Boston City Hall, room 801.

The commission is expected to hear from representatives from the developers and discuss the multi-building proposal, which includes 471 residential units, a grocery store and retail or restaurants, from 5:45 p.m. to 6:20 p.m., according to the agenda (see attached).

For more on the “Ink Block” proposal, see our complete guide to the project.

The proposal for 300 Harrison Ave. falls out of the commission’s “district” but within its “protection area,” which has a different set of guidelines.

To see what other projects the commission will address Tuesday, see the attached agenda.

The commission will also meet at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, in Boston City Hall (the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s board room on the ninth floor). At that meeting, the commission will continue its advisory, or preliminary, review of the six-story condo proposal with first-floor retail for the Olde Dutch Cottage Candy shop on Tremont Street. See the attached agenda for more information on the March 15 meeting.
