46-unit condo project proposed for Brighton (Donna Goodison, Boston Herald: October 14, 2017)

A new five-story condo building with 46 units, 13 private roof decks and a rooftop pool is planned for Brighton, near New Balance’s mixed-use Boston Landing development.

 

Hichborn Partners LLC is seeking approval for an almost 50,000-square-foot building on about a third of an acre at 40-50 Hichborn St. The company is helmed by Joseph DiGangi, managing partner at Roxbury’s Urban Core Development.

 

The estimated $9.5 million project would replace two three-family homes and a garage.

 

“This area has undergone significant changes and redevelopment recently, and the proposed project fits the character and context of the evolving neighborhood,” Hichborn Partners’ project filing with the Boston Planning & Development Agency states.

 

Forty of the studio to three-bedroom condos would be priced as market rate, and six would be designated as affordable. Residents would share a large common roof deck. Individual storage rooms, a gym, community room, yoga and fitness room, and garage parking for 50 cars are among proposed amenities.

 

The project requires a use variance because multifamily buildings are forbidden in the industrial sub-district. It also requires zoning relief for the building’s height and number of parking spaces.

 

The developer’s work schedule calls for a spring construction start and fall 2019 completion.

 

If permitting is successful, the developer plans to donate $30,000 to the Oak Square YMCA in Brighton and $10,000 to Allston-Brighton Youth Hockey.

Then it should be giving $30,000 to the YMCA & $10,000 to youth hockey....

"ANNUALLY" !!!! 

If all these developers are going to invade Brighton then they should all be paying for all after school programs,

Baseball parks, tennis courts, skate broad parks, playgrounds and green space !!!!

Does anyone have information from the developer about their

owner occupancy / investor % requirements on this project?  Has the I A G  (Impact Advisory Group) been selected yet?  With our big push for more owner occupancy in our community, this should be an important issue for the developers to incorporate.

Sorry, Brighton should not be for sale to the highest bidder.  It’s the City’s responsibility to fund public needs, not developers — who, if allowed, use it as leverage to destroy the neighborhood via overbuilding, cheap and ugly construction, and by further cementing transiency.
