607,900 SF is a HUGE building!  I don’t think most people realize how huge that is. For comparison, 530 Western Ave. (on the corner of Leo Birmingham Pkwy, construction almost completed) is “only” 128,000 SF.

Had I known how big this project is, I would have planned to come to the meeting tonight. Many other A-B people are probably in the same situation — have been unaware of the magnitude of the project, or the date of the meeting.

The problem is that information about those meetings is buried in Tony’s newsletters among much less important stuff that most people don’t have time to read, so they miss the important info.

Meeting announcements pertaining to large projects should be made in separate “free-standing” postings — with the address of the project in the subject line — so they are not so easy to miss.  I always try to do it for important meetings in my neighborhood. I wish someone did it for Allston.

There is no proposal for a 607,900 sq ft building.

The proposal is for 3 buildings that total 607,900 sq ft built on 4.3 acres.

The tallest building would be comparable to Continuum.

Thanks for clarification — but three 200,000 SF buildings (assuming they are roughy the same size), even on 4 acres, still amount to a huge project.  And since they will be office/commercial use, they will generate much more daily traffic than residential structures would.
