Allston-Brighton Infill and Small Developments

45 Bartlett and 5 Washington are uncomfortably too close to one another. The windows look right into the other building, and also, some of the windows of 45 Bartlett have views into the parking garage of 5 Washington. Im sure these are expensive buildings to live in, but with some of the units, you aren't getting views to go along with the price.

45 Bartlett is 40B so it got shoehorned in there. Those lower units with views of the garage will most likely be the starter units priced "affordably" starting at 1.1M. A lot of units are under agreement - Bartlett web site I will say the staggered layout was smart so the unit windows are not looking directly at a CMU wall or directly into other neighboring units.

Looks good but in a just world alpha management would be fined/sued out of existence and their property expropriated - one of the most famous slumlords around

No this is 80 gardner st. That one is 1270 commonwealth.

No this is 80 gardner st. That one is 1270 commonwealth.

But it says 1270 right on the render, which looks very different from the 80 Gardner render. Also, 80 Gardner is 64 units, not 206 units.

Developers win approval for new hotel in middle of major project they've mostly yet to start in Allston​

“The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans to replace an auto-parts store at 393 Cambridge St. in Allston with a seven-story, 96-room hotel.

The proposed hotel would have no parking, save for four valet spots meant for quick loading and unloading of ride-share cars and taxis…..”
