EAST BOSTON — A developer has filed plans to construct a six-story mixed-use residential building at 9 Chelsea Street in East Boston, at the corner of Chelsea and Maverick Streets in Maverick Square.
9 Chelsea Street LLC, operating through DND Homes, submitted a Project Notification Form to the Boston Planning Department on November 25, 2025, for the approximately 81,561-square-foot development. The proposed building would contain 109 rental units and roughly 2,875 square feet of ground-floor retail and commercial space.
The residential mix includes 59 studio apartments, 34 one-bedroom units, and 16 two-bedroom units. The building would feature first-floor amenity space for residents and a 3,279-square-foot rooftop deck. No basement is planned.
The project would include no on-site vehicle parking, instead providing approximately 110 secure bicycle parking spaces and 27 publicly accessible bicycle spaces for residents, employees, retail users, and visitors. The site is located near the Maverick MBTA Blue Line station and multiple bus routes.
The developer plans to provide affordable housing in compliance with the city’s Inclusionary Zoning Policy.
According to the filing, the project aims to transform an underutilized and vacant site into active development that supports neighborhood uses and enhances the pedestrian experience. The proposal calls for widened sidewalks and improved streetscape elements.
DND Homes has developed multiple multi-family residences in Boston and the metropolitan area in recent years.
The project is subject to review under Article 80B of the Boston Zoning Code.
