Project Description
As approved in January of 2018 246-248 Dorchester Avenue is an eight-story, 86,000 gross square foot, 169 room boutique hotel with parking for 26 valet-parked vehicles. Proposed change (2024): "The proponent proposes to revise the approved building to consist of ten (10) stories versus the original eight (8) stories (but of the same building height of 109 feet), to include ten (10) more hotel “keys” in a building of the same size of approximately 87,000 square feet but on a smaller subdivided lot of approximately 16,363 square feet (reduced from the previous lot size of 22,042 square feet) and to maintain the approved hotel use but to slightly shift programming to an extended stay model (again, the “NPC Project”). Based on changes in the hospitality market due to the pandemic, interest rate increases, and construction cost increases, the Proponent submits that the Approved Project must be revised in this NPC in order for its construction to be feasible."
