East Boston church property slated for residential redevelopment
The site of the shuttered Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in East Boston’s Maverick Square neighborhood could be redeveloped into 115 residences per newly revealed plans. Frankfort Gove LLC proposes to restore and expand the existing church, and construct a new four-to-six-story residential building on the site. The expanded church would contain 28 residences, and the new building would contain 87. The existing rectory and convent buildings are structurally deficient and would be demolished. The proponent has filed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop the site with the City of Boston, starting the project's review process.
