City Partially Approves 196-Unit Apartment Complex at Former Home for Little Wanderers

South Huntington took a step toward getting a four- and five-story apartment complex that two of JP's neighborhood groups vehemently opposed. The Boston Redevelopment Authority approved the project on Thursday. The city must also approve zoning variances.

Near-unanimous opposition from JP neighborhood groups wasn't enough to stop the city from granting a key step to approval of a giant new apartment complex for 161 S. Huntington. The Boston Redevelopment Authority gave the 196-unit apartment complex the green light on Thursday, according to a Tweet from the development agency. The project would create a four- and five-story building on the grounds of the former Home for Little Wanderers. All the children have been moved out to the agency's new campus in Walpole. The project still must clear the Zoning Board of Appeals, where a hearing is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 13. Just last week the JP Neighborhood Council Zoning Committee voted 14-0 to deny zoning relief to the developers. Without …

I disagree with Bob from JP. It is not low-income or nothing, but it can be beautiful and well done. Thankfully I don't live next to it.   more ›

Jamaica Pond Association Rejects 10-Story Apartment Building for 105A S. Huntington Ave.

The Jamaica Pond Association voted Monday night to oppose a developer's proposal for a 10-story apartment building at 105A S. Huntington Ave.

The Jamaica Pond Association voted Monday to oppose a 10-story apartment building at 105A S. Huntington Ave. Cedar Valley Development has plans for 195 apartment units in the building, which would be among the tallest in the neighborhood. "There's a lot of housing demand in Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill that this would satisfy," said Matthew Kiefer, a lawyer who represented the developers at the meeting. The building would be called The Serenity, according to a full-page ad taken out in the most recent recent edition of the Jamaica Plain Gazette. The Pond Association will draw up a detailed list of their concerns about the 205,000 square foot building. Some community members aired their worries at the meeting. "It's just out of character …

You all do realize there is an uglier taller building located directly across the street from this site right? Also, I'm assuming the developer has analyzed the cost of building and unless the building is a specific density and height the rents are going to be substantially lower. This is what I assume the other posts are hoping for, lower rents and a smaller building, correct? Only, you do …   more ›

Christopher Morris, 2010 Where to find it: New Release/English/Comedy Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while …

Affordable Housing Campaign, Launched in Jamaica Plain, Aims to Change Image of Tenants and Rentals

The pilot effort is comprised of a coalition of clergy, businesses, homeowners, tenants, and housing and homelessness advocates.

“Faces & Places of Affordable Housing” brings together a coalition of clergy, businesses, homeowners, tenants, housing and homelessness advocates, to tackle what Kathy Brown of the  Boston Tenant Coalition described  in her opening remarks “as one of the most important issues in Boston.” The pilot program, which was launched Thursday in Jamaica Plain, plans to expand its geographic scope to include other neighborhoods of the city. Centre Street Café owner Felicia Sanchez, who has operated the landmark restaurant for 23 years, offered the audience a business person’s perspective on the issue.  “I can’t tell you how destabilizing it is for the kids who work for me to always be in a state of housing panic,”  she said. Sanchez said that her …
