The Green Street area will house new businesses coming soon.
Just up the road from the Sam Adams Brewery and across the street from the Green Street Orange line station will soon exist a thriving business district, including a café, a salon and pilates studio. The Bartlett Square building at 154 Green St. already houses Boston Pilates, and a new 60 seat café – plus 50 outdoor seats – should be opening in June at the location, according to the Jamaica Plain Gazette. According to signs at the location, the café is hiring for all positions. There is still no official name for the café, according to the Gazette. A salon will be opening at the location at an undetermined time also. The building’s upper floors house the Bartlett Square Condominiums.

There’s Canto 6 and the local police station, but a huge space is vacant in this high foot-traffic area of Jamaica Plain.
There is a large vacant space at the southwest corner of Green and Washington streets in Egleston Square. There are a few vacancies in this section of Jamaica Plain, but none as large and versastile as this one. With the E-13 Police Station and the popular Canto 6 café at this intersection and a lot of foot traffic in the area, what business would you like to see pop up at this location? Leave your opinion in the comments.
