Anyone know whats happening with the Lyra (née The Huntington)? That project seems to have been in the site prep phase for ever. https://archboston.com/community/threads/lyra-n%C3%A9e-the-huntington-252-258-264-huntington-avenue-fenway.5399/page-16
Thanks for the update. I guess not too surprising. New housing construction, particularly in high cost central locations, is basically slowing to a trickle with interest rates and whatnot.
Yeah, this is a good solid project of which Bos/Cam could use 20 or 30 more. Hopefully this actually breaks ground within the next year or so. Although with interest rates, materials costs and general economic uncertainty, I'm not super optimistic. I would love to be wrong.
I can't see this happening. The developer has had issues with public-private project falling through..

Relatively minor news..but it looks like this project is moving forward.

Thanks for the update. The BPDA website still lists this as under review, so I assume construction starting just yet. The comment period ended on October 16th. Hopefully that means approval is coming soon. http://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/149-155-newbury-street
