Mixed‑use proposal for 36–50 Mt. Vernon Street resurfaces with materials list
Summary
Lexington Equities submitted plans to demolish an existing restaurant and four residences at 36–50 Mt. Vernon Street and build a 52‑unit mixed‑use building with 3,956 sq. ft. of retail; architect James Virgonia resubmitted material selections on June 10, 2026.
The Historic Preservation Commission recorded a resubmission from Lexington Equities, LLC on June 25, 2026 for a proposed redevelopment at 36–50 Mt. Vernon Street. The application describes demolition of an existing restaurant and four residential structures to construct a mixed‑use building with 52 residential units, on‑site parking and 3,956 square feet of retail space.
Architect James Virgonia provided a June 10, 2026 letter resubmitting the applicant's list of materials and selections for the project. The minutes also list multiple emails from attorney Paul Kaufman regarding the same address, and an email from Ken Ochab dated June 17; those items were filed as correspondence related to the Mt. Vernon application. The commission's minutes do not record a final decision or vote on the project at the June 25 meeting.
The project record in the minutes includes specific parcel references (Block 65, Lots 19–23) and notes open correspondence but not a completed application: the commission logged repeated submissions of materials and emails but did not indicate that approvals were granted or denied. The minutes identify Juan Kuriyama as a consultant; they do not state whether the consultant provided a recommendation in this session.
Next steps: the commission will continue to process correspondence and materials as they are submitted. The minutes do not set a public hearing date for the project or record any formal action on the application at the June 25 meeting.
