Revere ZBA approves amended 80-unit Riviera Beach Boulevard condominium plan with 10% affordable units

The Revere Board of Appeals unanimously approved amended plans for an 80-unit mixed-use condominium at 76–82 Riviera Beach Boulevard on Jan. 21, granting the relief with the board’s standard conditions.

Attorney Nancy O'Neill, representing the applicant Dana Lopez and the project architect David Parsky, described a revised six-story design that reduces curb cuts from four to two and reconfigures the first two levels to improve parking and driveway layouts. "This is a condominium project and 10% of those condominiums will be affordable," O'Neill said, adding that the proposal is intended to bring homeownership to the Riviera Beach corridor.

O'Neill said the project had previously been approved by the ZBA in August 2025 and that the applicant had refined plans to improve design and functionality. She described the revised residential mix as "10 three-bedroom units, 10 two-bedroom units, and 61 [transcript: '61 bedroom units']"; the transcript does not specify the bedroom count label for the 61 units. The attorney also said the applicant would donate 25 trees for Ward 1 at Councilor Mercurio's request and that Tom Skorovsky, the chief of planning and community development, remained in support.

The clerk read the ZBA's standard approval conditions into the record—a one-year lapse if rights are not exercised, recording of the variance and plan in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds with submission of recording details to the city clerk and building inspector, and requirement of site plan review prior to building permit application. Following a roll-call vote, the board granted the relief subject to those conditions.
