Parcel 12 - Potential Site for New School or Other Uses?
Parcel 12 is currently a parking lot. Picture taken from Tremont Street looking east towards Washington Street.
On the site of Parcel 12, looking west one can see the blue glass tower of John Hancock Building and the Prudential Building.
Parcel 12 is adjacent to the Double Tree Inn and the YMCA Chinatown. The Double Tree Inn and the YMCA sits on the site of the former Don Bosco High School.
The Asian Community Development Corporation released a fact sheet on current talks by the City to turn Parcel 12 into a school. Parcel 12, also known as the Don Bosco lot, is between Tremont Street and Washington Street. The site is bounded by an eight-story Tufts New England Medical Center parking garage and the Doubletree Hotel.
In August, there was a City Council hearing to explore moving the Boston Arts Academy from the Fenway neighborhood to Parcel 12 in Chinatown. Asian CDC has spoken at multiple community meetings to inform the Chinatown community of what’s happening. As part of their informational speeches, Asian CDC has called for a more open and transparent process from the Boston Redevelopment Authority on what is happening. In addition, Asian CDC argued that the Chinatown community should be allowed to voice their opinion on what should be developed on Parcel 12. For example, several hundred units of residential units could be generated on Parcel 12 along with community space for a library, theatre, and small retail. Word on the street is that Mayor Menino supports moving the Boston Arts Academy to Parcel 12.
