A local developer is proposing replacing a dilapidated three-story former warehouse and the adjacent garage at 52 Plympton St. in the South End 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 would-be 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., filed its plans for the project with the city last month.
The proposed project would include 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.
The city’s Planning Department will host a virtual public meeting to discuss the proposed project on Wednesday, July 23, at 6 p.m. Register in advance at: bosplans.org/52Plympton
The public comment period is open through Monday, July 27, but it can be extended if necessary, according to the city’s Planning Department.
