The Boston Planning and Development Agency has given the green light to plans for a pair of 18-story residential towers on the site of the old Channel 56 building at 75 Morrissey Blvd. in Dorchester. The approximately $450-million development from locally based Copper Mill and Chicago-based POB Capital will create 754 new apartments in the neighborhood, according to planning documents filed with the city, MassLive reported.

The towers represent the first phase of a larger planned development for the area, which was approved in late 2023 after being proposed by a different development team, Center Court. Two adjacent parcels of land, currently occupied by a Star Market grocery store, liquor store and offices, are also included in the master plan.

Although the site’s original plan called for lab buildings, Copper Mill decided the “most acute need” in the area was housing, CEO Andrew Flynn told the Boston Globe.
