2311 Douglas Street

[iamjacobm]

Looks like a pretty light agenda next month, but the Planning Board is considering "DOUGLAS STREET OFFICE TIF Redevelopment Project Plan" at 2311 Douglas Street. Docs will be posted later in the week, but one of the cases where I wouldn't mind the existing building coming down. Pretty small building compared to the parking here and a new building using more of the lot would be a lot better even if it is just a couple floors in height.

Hmmm. I was hoping for something a little bigger. It doesn’t look like they’re even using all of the space available. Are things just not penciling out here well enough yet?

Not happening, unfortunately.

$95k TIF request. I guess every bit helps

…why?! I feel like I’m missing something with this project.

Isn’t this within the streetcar zone with a minimum 5-story height?

Its not a new building, just a remodel of the current structure.

I think being so close to the streetcar line, I would rather have it torn down for more density.

I know, right? At least it will be easy to demolish in the future.
