The Boston Planning and Development Agency board on Thursday approved Fenway Corners, a $1.6 billion mixed-use project that will bring offices, labs, apartments, a slew of retailers, and street-level upgrades along Jersey Street, Brookline Avenue, and Van Ness Street.The BPDA board approved the project’s first 1.6 million square feet, with an additional 500,000 square feet slated for a later board vote following the completion of the Fenway-Kenmore Transportation Action Plan.The project’s eight buildings are slated to range in height from two to 19 stories — anywhere from 40 feet to 265 feet — and feature nearly 730,000 square feet of lab space and close to 500,000 square feet of office. The project will also include 266 residential units, some 53 of which will be set aside as affordable, along with a host of new storefronts and street upgrades.
