Last week the BRA approved a new mixed use residential project that will be one of the city’s largest entirely affordable residences. The project formerly “The Merano” will be located across from North Station and the Garden. It will include 239 affordable rental units, a 220 room hotel and 220-space parking garage available to both tenants and hotel guests.
The developer also has promised to make a $500,000 contribution to design and build a new park with several hundred thousand dollars dedicated to other infrastructure improvements in the West End neighborhood. While more affordable units in Boston are needed this is great news and sounds like a wonderful opportunity for the lucky few who can score an apartment.
There is no word on when construction would begin. More details here.
