The Boston Planning & Development Agency has approved plans for a new development in South Boston’s Andrew Square area.

The 44 Ellery St. project consists of a six-story building with 18 homeownership residential units, three of which will be income-restricted. 

Malcolm Barber and Niall Dowdall filed the project’s application with the BPDA in late September. 

The 44 Ellery St. project will be located on a 7,749-square-foot lot currently occupied by a two-story brick residential building, which will be torn down to make room for the new construction. 

Located just 300 feet from the Andrew Square MBTA station, the transit-oriented project will also create new sidewalks, crosswalks and other infrastructure improvements. It will also include bicycle parking.

The project is part of the BPDA’s PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue Planning Initiative, which was approved in December 2016.
