The Residences at
371-401 D Street
South Boston, Massachusetts
Formerly known as Trafalgar Square, this area of development falls within the "South Boston Waterfront" and "D Street Study Area" of the "Enhancement Zone Subdistrict," as defined by the Seaport Public Realm Plan. Guidelines set forth by the Seaport Public Realm plan help ensure careful development of the South Boston Waterfront. The Residences at D Street will be one of the first residential projects presented to the South Boston Waterfront neighborhood since completion of this Plan.
A residential complex comprised of 650 units of affordable and market rate housing and 760 parking spaces, this project will contribute to the current rejuvenation of the South Boston Waterfront. By designing in accordance with the Plan’s guidelines, team members are creating a well planned and aesthetically pleasing development. Its location in a transition zone between the convention center and South Boston's residential areas subjects it to further regulations regarding design concordance with the convention center's planned improvements along D Street.
Initially retained by Cathartes Investments as the Environmental and Permitting Consultant, Daylor is navigating the complicated permitting process, securing permits on both local and state levels. In the local arena, Daylor has collaborated with South Boston neighborhood groups, the Boston Redevelopment Authority and the Mayors Office to reach a plan ammenable to all. Part of the revised development plan includes the proposed contribution of a portion of the development as affordable housing in addition to a cash contribution to subsidize the construction of those units. At the state level, Daylor has collaborated with the Environmental Protection Agency, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Mass Historical Commission and the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs.
Upon completion of permitting, Daylor will also serve as the civil engineer for all project phases, with estimated construction completion in early 2003.
