BOSTON— Zanzibar Capital announced the completion of Vesta, a new 32-unit condominium community at 236–256 Dorchester Street in South Boston. Over 60 percent of the homes are already pre-sold.
The project was led by Zanzibar Capital Co-founders and Managing Partners Eric Doroski and Nitzan Mokady, who launched the South Boston-based real estate investment and development firm in 2018 while undergraduates at Northeastern University. Today, they manage more than 190,000 square feet of multifamily and mixed-use assets throughout Greater Boston.
“Bringing Vesta to completion marks a proud milestone for us,” said Doroski. “We transformed this compact site into a vibrant addition to the Dorchester Street corridor, and we’re excited to welcome residents to their new homes.”
Vesta offers a mix of four one-bedroom and 28 two-bedroom condos ranging from 750 to 1,130 square feet. Each home features high-end finishes, including custom cabinetry, engineered white oak flooring, Porcelanosa tile, and Bosch appliances.
The 46,000 sq. ft. development also includes 7,200 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail, highlighted by the return of Bell’s Market — a neighborhood staple since the early 1900s. The new Bell’s Market will offer groceries, freshly prepared foods, a butcher counter, beer, wine, and spirits. A locally owned café will also open in the retail space.
“Reviving Bell’s Market has been especially meaningful,” said Mokady. “It’s a vital resource for the entire community, not just Vesta residents.”
Vesta includes five affordable condominium units designated for income-qualified buyers selected through a lottery managed by Maloney Properties. These units offer the same high-end features as market-rate homes.
Prices start at $600,000 for one-bedroom units and in the mid-$800,000s for two-bedrooms. Shared amenities include:
- Expansive rooftop deck with gas grills and seating
- Top-floor club room with skyline views
- Outdoor dog run
- Climate-controlled underground garage
- Optional private roof decks.
Located in the thriving Dorchester Street corridor, Vesta is just two miles from Downtown Boston and steps from popular restaurants, cafes, parks, beaches, and the Boston waterfront — making it an ideal location for city dwellers seeking a strong neighborhood feel.
