500 Western Avenue
Letter of Intent (LOI)
Linked below for your review is an electronic copy of the
Letter of Intent (LOI) for the proposed
500 Western Avenue project located in Brighton, received by the Boston Planning & Development Agency on September 20 2022.
The following project description has been provided by the development team:
The project would transform a vacant and non-conforming industrial site in north Brighton, with a new six (6) story building of approximately 99,000 gross square feet, including 118 residential apartments and artist live-work units, ground floor retail, below-grade
parking for its residences and a “district parking” program to address the City’s planned reduction of on-street spaces along Western Avenue (the “Project”). It would also replace and upgrade inaccessible sidewalks, impervious surfaces and lacking open space,
with improved connectivity, robust street tree canopies and new public realm. As a de facto density bonus, the Project also seeks to exceed the City’s Inclusionary Development Policy, by dedicating at least eighteen percent (18%) of its total units for a wider
range of income-restricted housing.
The BPDA is soliciting nominations for the Impact Advisory Group (IAG) for the proposed
500 Western Avenue project. If you are interested in serving on the IAG for this project, please reach out to the Project Manager below. Learn more about
