The $63-million project on the 1.3 acre lot dubbed Parcel 9, which is located adjacent to Ramsay Park, will have a 145-room hotel, 50 residential units as well as ground floor retail and community space.
The development team include Urbanica Inc, Melnea Partners LLC, the world-class architecture firm of NADAAA and award winning local architects D/R/E/A/M Collaborative.
On November 16, 2010 the BRA put an RFP out on Parcel 9 and Parcel 10. On July 25, 2011 the authority received three proposals for Parcel 9. Following the submission of the proposals, the BRA, MassDOT, and the Project Review Committee, made up of community stakeholders, held 8 working sessions and one community wide meeting to review the three proposals. On January 30, 2012 the PRC voted to recommend Urbanica's proposal to be tentatively designated as the redeveloper of Parcel 9 and on February 6, 2012, the Roxbury Strategic Master Plan Oversight Committee unanimously voted to endorse that decision.
