SOUTH BOSTON—Patrick D. Rosso has more details on the 200,000-square-foot development planned at 411 D Street: "The first building would be six stories with a height close to 70 feet. The first building will also include a roof top terrace. The second building which will reach five stories and be nearly 60 feet tall, will also include residential units along with a second floor garden terrace and a roof top garden terrace. The second building will also differ in shape, reducing floors on the southern side to allow for more light on the second floor garden terrace." [Boston.com]
