Hyde Park Infill and Small Developments

$9M Construction Loan Secured for Hyde Park Multifamily​

“FinanceBoston has arranged a $9,120,000 construction loan for a 34-unit apartment building in Hyde Park, MA.

Straddling the neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Roslindale, 804 Hyde Park Ave is situated in a prominent urban infill location with convenient MBTA access, including nearby bus lines and proximity to the Roslindale Village Commuter Rail Station and the Forest Hills Orange Line……”

Proximity to the Roslindale commuter rail station is bit of a stretch. It's not super far, but it's a 30 minute walk. Interesting spot, in that it's roughly the same walking distance from 4 different stations, but I think that's too far to claim that it's nearby. Definitely a reasonable biking distance, though. It's a good illustration of why a restoration of either the Mt Hope or Dale Street stations would be a good thing.

Nobody would ever take the Needham Line commuter rail from this location—it’s just the usual buzzword nonsense, using “ToD” so the developer gets to check boxes and get a building approved. However, this area is on a prime bus route right to Forest Hills. Even at this hour, google maps gives me 30 min trip to DTX from this address—that’s damned good!

Yes, it's a quick ride to Forest Hills on the 32, but only off peak. For commuters, that's a very slow bus at 7:30 in the morning. Based on recent community meetings regarding Hyde Parke Ave safety, the city is apparently not interested in bus priority lanes for that corridor, but it's really needed for an area that is not otherwise served by transit.

That’s too bad to hear. It’s just a horrible road, honestly, esp between FH and Canterbury. Very tight lanes, smushed right up against parked cars, fast drivers.

I think they could at least do some sort of compromise like make the outbound leg between Ukraine and points south one lane for cars + one for buses. And if they also removed the parking from just one side of the street, they could have bus lanes going both ways. Maybe the median just needs to go, not sure it really adds much. I don’t know, there’s just something about that road that feels horrible and dangerous and just generally unpleasant, and it’s exactly the sort of situation that the city should step in and override the conservatism of the people who live there in favor of the greater good.
