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 …

The board unanimously supported the recommended changes from the plan Thursday.
Major zoning changes, intended to bolster development on the east side of the South End, came one step closer to becoming a reality Thursday night. The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Board unanimously approved the changes, represented in the Harrison-Albany Corridor Strategic Plan, sending them to the Boston Zoning Commission for final say in January. The changes, which would allow increased building heights in the area, among other steps to promote development, are technically amendments to the city’s Zoning Code. The Harrison-Albany Corridor plan, which directed these proposed changes, was crafted by a group of residents and business and property owners over the last two-and-a-half years. In addition to allowing increased building …

Proposals submitted in 2008 are being re-evaluated for potential development above the Mass Pike.
Seventeen months after developers announced the end of the long-planned never-built Columbus Center project, the Boston Redevelopment Authority is rekindling discussions about potential development above sections of the Massachusetts Turnpike. On Wednesday, a newly appointed Citizens Advisory Committee met for the first time to discuss four air-rights parcels near the intersection of Boylston and Mass Ave. Development proposals for all four parcels were submitted to the BRA in 2008, and held until a committee could be formed to evaluate them. “All of the proposals we received incorporate civic vision,” said BRA Development Director, Peter O’Connor, “which is one of the reasons I’m really going to defer to the CAC for some very necessary …
