Tags: The ginormous development that is Dot Block at the convergence of Meeting House Hill, Jones Hill, and Savin Hill in Dorchester took a giant step forward earlier this week: The Boston Civic Design Commission unanimously signed off on RODE Architects’ plans for the multi-building project, one of the biggest proposed for Boston.
What, exactly, will it include?Current plans on file with the Boston Redevelopment Authority call for the Dot Block to include eight four-story residential buildings with eight units apiece; a five-story, 50-unit residential building; and “several” five- to six-story buildings with residences and retail.
