I drive by this often and it appears to be topped out. Its extremely noticeable when driving southbound on 93 once you pass savin hill.

Much needed housing along Morrissey. Unfortunately, I would not wanna open my windows if I lived there and inhaled all of those fine particulates being given off from the cars on 93. Regardless, I hope the build more housing and that eventually leads to a T Stop.

Insane to me that people would pay $2700 for a studio on Morrissey right on 93. I guess the asthma is free, at least. I need to add a treadmill & yoga mat in my rental basements and 2x the rent. In all seriousness, though, can they really push $4k+ a month for a 750 sqr foot 2 bedroom there? If so I'd have to think we'll see a ton more development along the corridor.

The city and state really need to step up the redesign and planning/zoning for the area to make it actually integrated into the city and not a bunch of big unrelated self contained buildings between two highways.
