Description:
The Boston Planning Department is hosting a virtual public meeting for the proposed Notice of Project Change located at 69 A Street in the South Boston neighborhood of Boston. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the Notice of Project Change (NPC) that was filed and its potential impacts. The meeting will include a presentation followed by questions and comments from the public.
Original Approved in 2016, the project consisted of five (5) levels of commercial office space with ground level retail and fitness space on the lower levels, with an on-site garage containing 18 parking spaces. In early 2021, the project underwent a second NPC due to The COVID-19 pandemic's impact. CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) partnered with the established life-science venture of Genesis and Phase 3 Real Estate Partners to repurpose the Approved Project with a similar commercial use and resulting employment opportunities.
On January 30th 2026, the Proponent filed an NPC seeking approval to convert the floors two through four of the existing building from approved office use to multifamily residential use, while retaining the active ground-floor and basement fitness center, as well as the limited office space on the fifth floor. Most notably, the proposed conversion will create twenty-four residential units specifically for participants in CIEE’s international internship programs.
The 2026 NPC contemplates interior modifications with no significant changes to the building’s exterior appearance, height, or footprint.
