Description: Situated on approximately 18,795 square feet of land at the edge of Maverick Square and within a few hundred yards of the MBTA Maverick Blue Line Station, the proposed project contemplates the demolition of an existing funeral home along with three (3) adjoining buildings in order to construct a two (2) story, commercial retail structure with on site parking for 6 vehicles and a loading area. The funeral home has remained defunct for several years and the existing buildings remain vacant with no historic significance to the surrounding neighborhood. Presently, the existing buildings (to be razed) represent approximately 16,544 square feet of space. The proposed structure will revitalize the site with a new structure meeting current building and accessibility codes and containing 25,848 square feet of new gross floor area. Approximately 13,500 square feet will be located on the lower level and additional 12,500 square feet will be located on the second level providing additional retail opportunities for the Neighborhood Shopping District.
