Developers of a large swath of land across from Boston police headquarters in Roxbury are moving forward with plans to build a complex that will include stores, offices, homes, and a museum featuring African-American artists.

If approved by Boston regulators, the Tremont Crossing development will fill about 8 acres of city-owned parking lots with seven new buildings. Its developers, a joint venture that includes nonprofit Elma Lewis Partners and Feldco Development Corp., filed detailed plans with the Boston Redevelopment Authority on Friday.
