The Distillery Redevelopment | East Second Street | South Boston The proposed development will retain 30 artists’ live-work units and 37 commercial units (losing one from the current count of 38) in the existing historic building on the eastern half of the site and add 44 new residential units, 25 new live-work units, art galleries, a café, greenhouse, and small-scale retail spaces with associated off-street parking. The development will produce all of its electricity on site using a renewable and almost carbon-neutral fuel. The waste heat from this process will carry all heat, hot water and air conditioning loads. Project Description Landowner: Second Street Associates LLC Developer: Second Street Associates LLC The proposed development involves the construction of two wings of four-storey residential and commercial accommodation over two basement stories of structured parking. In order to prepare this part of the site for the proposed development, two singlestorey industrial buildings will be demolished. The residential development on East First Street consists of 25 live-work studios totaling 28,755 net square feet. Pedestrian access to these units is from East First Street and an inner court, elevation +34’. Street access to the inner court is at the corner of East First and Dorchester Streets (elevation +16’) via elevator and stairs. There is also direct, atgrade access to the courtyard from East Second Street at elevation +32’. The 44-unit residential accommodation (58,751 net square feet) on Dorchester Street is accessible from five street level front doors leading to five stair and elevator cores serving residential units clustered around a shared atrium. The units are also accessible via stairs from the courtyard. There are two levels of parking. The lower level parking (59 spaces) is served by twoway access from H Street, extending along East First Street and Dorchester Street at elevation +16’. The upper level parking (capacity 64 spaces) is served by two-way access from Dorchester Street at elevation +25’, extending to Dorchester Street and First Street 1.0 Executive Summary | Introduction 1-2
The Distillery Redevelopment | East Second Street | South Boston with a short spur adjacent to East Second Street. The upper level parking has a small truck loading area to serve the retail store on East Second Street. On H Street there is a 40-ft. truck loading dock that can serve, via dock and large elevator, all buildings in the development, existing and proposed. The project is designed to be served by two 45 kw diesel generators powered by vegetable oil. The system will be grid-integrated for backup purposes, but otherwise will draw no net electricity during each monthly billing cycle. All heating and cooling loads will be met by the waste heat from the electric generation. In addition to serving the buildings, excess electrical capacity will be available to provide electrical charging for plug-in hybrid electrical vehicles. Zoning and Project Dimensions The site is located in the South Boston Interim Planning Overlay District under the terms of Article 27P of the Zoning Ordinance. Map 4 (South Boston) shows the site to be designated L, allowing a building height of 35 feet and an FAR of 2.0. The proposed building roof height is the same as the existing adjacent buildings established as +83’ above sea level. The grade varies from +16.5’ at the corner of First and Dorchester, to +32’ on East Second Street.
