Dorchester Reporter “The News and Values Around the Neighborhood” Volume 37 Issue 40 Thursday, October 1, 2020 50¢ Up next for Bayside: ‘Dorchester Bay City’ By Katie Trojano Reporter Staff A 34-acre waterfront site on Columbia Point will be transformed into “Dorchester Bay City” — a new community with a mix of housing, retail and public space —according to new documents filed by Accordia Partners LLC with city officials on Sept. 23. The Accordia team signed a 99-year lease with UMass Boston last year and will manage the build-out of the former Bayside Expo Center land in a deal that could net the university up to $235 million over the coming years. Accordia also controls the land at 2 Morrissey Blvd, now home to Santander Bank, across the street from the Bayside site. Accordia has been engaged in a planning effort that included community meetings prior to the onset of the covid-19 crisis. “From the outset we have A rendering shows what the proposed Dorchester Bay City community on Columbia Point might look like once fully devel- envisioned this project as oped over the next decade.

The art class is one of the most popular and suc- cessful programs at the Dorchester Avenue facil- ity, which serves as home to nearly 100 adults with multiple sclerosis and other advanced neuro- logical diseases. In the building’s back garden on Thursday, residents perused an impressive art display while enjoying live jazz from the Jeff Williams Trio throughout the event, which marked the launch of a new online art gallery that will allow community members to view and support the artists’ work in a virtual format.

The juried award was an- nounced at the group’s annual conference, which was held virtually. There were more than 160 nominations for the award, which brings national attention to a handful of win- ners each year. “This is one of the coolest things that I can imagine happening,” said Kevin De- abler, principal at RODE Ar- chitects, which he co-founded with Eric Robinson. “I think they were drawn to the idea that it’s an incubator for craft beer creators, but also for its tie into this community and to social justice. It’s a great moment for Dorchester and a chance for us to celebrate Dorchester Brewing Company has received an award from the American Institute of Architects New England chapter for what has gone into making the exceptional design and mission of its Massachusetts Avenue building, which was designed in collaboration with RODE this project.” Architects.
