If all goes according to plan, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will give approval today to a devleoper’s proposal for a 78-unit apartment complex to be built to the side of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, near Haymarket, on what is known as Parcel 9.
According to Tom Grillo at the Boston Herald:
State approval will allow “Eastat Realty Capital to build a 78-unit apartment building with a ground-floor produce market on a state-owned lot overlooking the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.
Eastat’s five-story complex on a 29,400-square-foot parcel at the corner of Blackstone and North streets …”
Other ideas previously floated for the space included the Boston History Museum and office / commercial space.
I’m skeptical that people will want to live in that location, but what do I know? Perhaps they can get wealthy people to buy into the idea, I assume the idea isn’t to make the housing “affordable”.
The developer, Eastat Realty Capital, has been involved in other Boston projects include the restoration of what is now the Ames Hotel, build-outs of sections of Faneuil Hall and Fleet Center, and 45 Stuart Street (no idea what this is … the empty lot?).
