The Zoning Board of Appeal gave its approval on September 22, 2026 for a development that will replace the parking lot at 372 Neponset Avenue in Dorchester with a four‑story building containing ten residential units and thirteen parking spaces.
The site is owned by Paul Adamson, who acquired the lot after selling the neighboring Dorset Hall property. Dorset Hall has since been repurposed and now operates under the name McGonagle’s, providing a local business presence adjacent to the proposed apartments.
Design work for the new structure is being handled by RODE Architects. The plans call for a four‑story configuration that will accommodate ten separate apartments, offering a mix of living spaces while providing thirteen dedicated parking spots for residents and visitors.
George Morancy is associated with the project, overseeing its progression through the approval process. The board’s decision clears the way for construction to begin, aligning the site’s future use with the city’s broader goals for residential development in the Dorchester neighborhood.
The approval marks a shift from the lot’s current use as a parking area to a multi‑unit residential building, reflecting ongoing changes in land use patterns across Boston. With the addition of ten new homes, the development is expected to contribute to housing availability in the area while maintaining a modest amount of parking to serve occupants.
The Zoning Board’s endorsement follows a standard review of the proposal’s compliance with local zoning regulations. No further conditions were noted in the public record, and the project is set to move forward under the guidance of the involved parties.
Stakeholders anticipate that the new apartments will integrate into the existing streetscape of Neponset Avenue, offering modern living options within walking distance of local amenities, including the nearby McGonagle’s establishment.
