The Boston Planning & Development Agency has approved new projects in the Allston, Dorchester and South End neighborhoods.

The proposed 2 Shawsheen Road project will be located on a 36,226-square-foot parcel of land along Shawsheen Road and Saratoga Street.

The funding will provide significant investments in mixed-income housing in Charlestown and Jamaica Plain.

Combined, the two projects will bring more than 40 residential housing units to the area.

The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved the two projects at its January meeting.

The project site consists of four parcels of vacant commercial space between Charles Park Road and Gardner Street.

The Boston Planning & Development Agency has approved a South Boston redevelopment project that will develop four mixed-use buildings at an underutilized industrial site on Dorchester Avenue.

The project is expected to bring more than 200 units of affordable housing to the Back Bay.

More than 90% of the development’s units have been leased.

The mixed-use development will include a five-story, 30,524 square-foot building with 26 apartments, four of which will be income-restricted.

Five years after it launched a planning initiative for Roxbury’s Nubian Square neighborhood, the BPDA voted to tentatively designate Drexel Village, LLC to develop the Crescent Parcel owned by the agency and MassDOT.

The 819 Beacon St. project will create 393 rental units, including 59 on-site affordable units and 53 institutional patient-family housing units in partnership with Boston Children’s Hospital.

The project is the first to comply with the Boston Planning & Development Agency’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirements.

City officials have implemented an updated zoning measure to prepare new and retrofitted development for future climate risks.

The former Midtown Hotel will soon be replaced with a 10-story project bringing more than 300 housing units to Huntington Avenue.

Developments over 50,000 square feet are now required to adhere to new guidelines launched to reduce traffic and congestion in the city of Boston.
