0:28One of the most notable discussions centered around the conveyance of land at 376 to 384A Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury to MTK Development LLC. This project seeks to transform long-held city-owned parcels into 18 affordable homeownership units. The commission considered a request to extend the developer’s designation for an additional six months, building upon the original 12-month period previously granted. This extension was deemed necessary to complete the design phases, secure permits, and finalize funding commitments. The commission was briefed on MTK Development’s progress, including approvals from relevant city boards and finalized design phases. The motion to extend the designation passed without opposition.

In another key decision, the commission approved the conveyance of four vacant parcels on Nottingham Street in Dorchester to KZB Nottingham LLC. This initiative aims to deliver 12 affordable homeownership units and received positive feedback from community members and local officials during extensive engagement efforts. The commission’s approval was unanimous, reflecting widespread support for the project within the community.

Additionally, the commission sanctioned a conveyance to BNT 355 Park LLC for a vacant parcel on Park Street. This site is also part of the Welcome Home Boston program, which targets low- to moderate-income residents. The project will provide six affordable homeownership units, divided between households at or below 80% and 100% Area Median Income (AMI).

14:48Another proposal involved the conveyance of land on Whale Street to Ambry Development Group. This project will deliver 12 affordable homeownership units, with a mix of two- and three-bedroom units, targeting households at or below 80% and 100% AMI. The proposal was the sole application received for this site and had garnered community support during a public meeting. The commission’s approval allows Ambry to finalize funding and design plans, with construction expected to begin in May 2025.

The commission also approved the conveyance of land on Wildwood Street in Mattapan to 83 Wildwood LLC, part of the Welcome Home Boston initiative.
