63 apartments and condos proposed for long vacant Grove Hall lot

Rendering of proposed 639 Warren St.

Rendering by Studio Luz Architects.

The Madison Park Development Corp. has filed plans for a six-story residential building on a lot Warren and Crawford street in Roxbury that has sat vacant since the 1960s as a holdover from the Washington Park urban-renewal project.

All of the units - 54 apartments and 9 condos - would be rented or sold as affordable, according to the non-profit's filing with the Boston Planning Department. Some 16 of the apartments would rented to people making no more than 30% of the Boston area median income, with the rest to people making no more than 60% or 80% of that amount. The condos would be aimed at people making no more than 80% or 120% of that amount.

The units would range from one to three bedrooms.

In addition to residential units, the building would have 2,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.

Madison Park says it is still figuring out the number of parking spaces, but that it is tentatively looking at 22 spaces in a lot on the three-quarter-acre parcel. The site is next to several bus lines and is about a half mile from the Four Corners/Geneva station on the Fairmount Line. Madison Park says it will provide indoor bike storage.

I hope they continue with a community garden and mural if this happens. I would also like to continue to use the shortcut from Maple thru Warren over there

I used the satellite view on Google Maps, zoomed in, and I can see the trail your talking about @enigmue. Not at distinct as the one I normally associate with that lot and remember from my childhood (Warren to Crawford). Judging from the rendering they'll both be gone.

I also noticed using street view that the remains of the building across the street at the end of the sunken driveway are now gone. That's the lot where I plan to build a Geodesic Dome home if I scratch the right lottery tickets. ;)

A new one on the Crawford street side should be feasible.
