A one-story brick warehouse in Allston could get replaced with a 97,287-square-foot development under a plan submitted to the Boston Planning & Development Agency by The Mount Vernon Co. on Thursday.

Mount Vernon bought the half-acre site from auto dealership magnate Herb Chambers for $7.5 million in December.

The proposed 5-story building would have 147 units and is being designed under the rules of the city’s Compact Living Pilot Policy. If approved, the building would be Allston’s second such microunit project, after Common Living’s 278-bed Allbright project, and part of a growing but still limited sector in the Boston multifamily industry.

The development would have 67 studios, 45 one-bedrooms, 31 two-bedrooms and 4 three-bedrooms. Of the units, 19 would be set aside as affordable housing.

Amenities will be relatively spartan compared to other microunit buildings. Features listed in the plans include an indoor bicycle parking spot for each unit, an on-site Bluebikes bicycle sharing station, a small fitness center, a 739-square-foot rooftop terrace, a package room and ground-floor and top-floor common spaces for an as-yet-undefined amenity.

The building, designed by Prellwitz Chilinski Assoc., boasts several “green” features. The structure will be built solar-ready and heated and cooled using heat pumps. The building’s hot water system will still be gas-fired, though. The building is being touted as “transit-oriented” given its proximity to the Boston Landing commuter rail station, and so only 33 parking spaces will be provided using car-stacking devices. Tenants will have to pay extra to be able to use the parking spaces, known as “unbundled” parking, and building residents will not be allowed to acquire Boston resident on-street parking permits. A screen in the building’s lobby will display schedules for nearby transit options.

The project will need zoning relief for setbacks, floor-area ratio, height, open space and multifamily use.
