A new development will create 29 new residential units in Dorchester. The project was sanctioned at a recent meeting of the Boston Planning Department and BPDA Board.

An affiliate of JMB Property Development Company will demolish two vacant structures at 29-33 Romsey Street, replacing them with a multi-story apartment building and townhouses.

At least 50% of the site will be used as green space. Developers plan to plant trees on the property and preserve some already present.

The development will feature seven townhouses and 22 apartments, including 12 affordable units.
