Virtual public meeting on 52 Plympton St. proposal set for July 23
The city’s Planning Department will host a virtual public meeting to discuss project proposed for 52 Plympton St. in the South End on Wednesday, July 23, at 6 p.m.
The developer, 52 Plympton MKJB, LLC, which is managed by Joshua Brandt, a principal and co-founder of the Boston-based development and architectural firm, Stack + Co., intends to replace a dilapidated three-story former warehouse and adjacent garage with a new seven-story, 44-unit residential development, which would include eight live/work spaces for artists, along with a gallery and workshop.
The proposed project comprises eight ground-floor live-work lofts, all of which would be income-restricted, one-bedroom units, along with a gallery and workshop space with direct access to a rear courtyard; below-grade parking for 19 vehicles and 44 bicycles; and nine curbside bike spaces for visitors.

Meanwhile, the public comment period is open through Monday, July 27, but it can be extended if necessary, according to the city’s Planning Department.
