A pair of parking lots in the core of the city could soon be filled by apartment towers after both projects won key city approvals Thursday night.

The Boston Planning & Development Agency OK’d a 19-story building at 212 Stuart St. in Bay Village and a 21-story building at 47 LaGrange Street in Chinatown. The two projects sit just a few blocks apart and combined will bring more than 260 apartments — with no onsite parking — to a part of the city that is becoming increasingly residential.

The Stuart Street building, proposed by Transom Real Estate, would put 133 apartments, two townhouses, and street-level retail space on the site of a vacant lot and parking lot. The $97 million project doesn’t have any parking spaces but would rent 50 spots in a nearby garage.
