Boston – Core Investments, Inc. announced its 2023 fall program of music, food, and events at The LOT, Core Investment’s newest commitment to the emerging On the Dot neighborhood in South Boston.
The LOT, an outdoor event space near the year-old Cannonball Cafe, at 383 Dorchester Ave., is a project that Core Investment has for months been preparing for activation and recreation, including a movie night, block party, Oktoberfest, holiday market, and more.
The developing On the Dot neighborhood is more than 21 acres of formerly industrial land along the west, or inland, side of Dorchester Avenue in South Boston, which is being planned in phases of mixed-use development adjacent to Andrew Square along the MBTA’s Red Line.
Events on The LOT and throughout the On the Dot neighborhood, including longtime Andrew Square neighbors and visitors from South Boston, throughout the City of Boston and beyond, will continue and grow in scope as the mixed-use neighborhood is built out over the next few years.
Core Investments is now in the process of working with City of Boston planners and the neighborhood, particularly the Andrew Square Neighborhood Association, to design and obtain permits for residential, commercial, retail, civic, and open space in the 21 acres. As a part of that planning, Core would begin with a mixed-use four-building project on nine acres just north of the Andrew Square MBTA Station, including a first building with residential and retail focus.
The LOT will be the scene of seven significant events, at least weekly and sometimes more often, through early December. A separate schedule of early events, including Farmers Forge on Saturdays and Thursday and Sunday music gatherings at Cannonball Cafe, has already begun, to kick off the fall schedule of larger events. The Cannonball Cafe events will continue.
