Market-rate and affordable transit-oriented housing approved in Dorchester
The BPDA has approved the project at 185-191 Geneva Avenue in Dorchester that will construct a five-story residential development containing 27 rental units, including four affordable units, and parking for eight vehicles and a bicycle storage room. The project will include approximately 5,000 square feet of open space at the rear of the building, as well as a small community meeting room on the first floor. There will be a mix of nine studio units, 12 one-bedroom units, five two-bedroom units, and one three-bedroom unit. The project is located less than 200 feet from the Four Corners/Geneva Avenue MBTA station.
The project is within the study area for the Fairmount Indigo Corridor Plan and the Four Corners/Geneva Avenue Station Area Plan, approved in October 2015. It meets the guidelines of the plan by retaining housing diversity and affordability, encouraging multifamily development near the MBTA station, and increasing neighborhood walkability and bikeability.
