oh man, Scape. I lived in this exact dorm for a year in college and they would complain every week that our dorm was too dirty and that they would notify our school and charge us. (Scary!) Not a big fan of scape.
 

Developer that won city approval for 28-story Fenway apartment building loses site to foreclosure before even breaking ground​

Banker & Tradesman reports that an auctioneer has scheduled a foreclosure sale next month for the half-acre on Charlesgate West where a British developer had won approval - and even a change in city ordinances - for a 28-story, 400-unit apartment tower with 68 affordable units.

Scape, which initially entered the Boston market hoping to build large private dorms for area colleges, then realized how much everybody hated that idea, spent nearly six years working on its Charlesgate proposal - which it first proposed as a smaller 200-unit complex before filing plans for its tower.

The last paragraph at least laves some hope:

“Whoever purchases the site could put up the same building proposed by Scape - and make the same $3 million in civic improvements, including rehabbing the Leif Erikson statue on the Comm. Ave. mall, which would not require any new city approvals. It could seek to make some changes, which, if they were deemed minor enough, could lead to quick Boston Planning Department approval through its "notice of project change" process. Or it could just throw out Scape's plans completely and propose something entirely different, which would require a new, and extensive approval process, including public meetings and hearings before the planning department and zoning board…..”
