Construction has begun at 11 West Broadway St. where the Quiet Man Pub once stood.

Developer Ron Simons of the Natick-based Bodwell Pine Corporation, began demolition work earlier in the week.

In the place of the famous Southie pub, a nearly 95,000-square-foot, six-story structure, with 50 residential units and 26 parking spaces will be built, according to the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

The rental units will be split between one- and two-bedrooms, with six of them deemed affordable.

The ground-level floor will be used for close to 8,200-square-feet of retail space. According to developer’s attorney, Marc LaCasse of The McCormack firm, Subway and Starbucks have both signed on to use a portion of the space.

The project was approved by the BRA in late 2010 and is estimated to cost $23 million.

Construction is expected to be completed in the late summer of 2012.
