Cooiidge is in great shape right now. A wonderful and wide variety of small businesses and a noticeable lack of big chain stores.

The proposed building is ugly. It’s trying to conceal the third floor under the mansard roof, and it ends up coming off as a Beverly Hills boutique.

Boston has been getting a lot of pushback on this idea for its municipal lots. Hopefully Brookline can lead by example and get this done.

Looks like they may have gotten a roof rough framed on top of 32 Marion before the snow began to fly last week, not positive though, you may need to the get the drone up there again.

Heres a new development I came across on Stearns Road near Coolidge Corner. Two older homes demolished for a new 4- condo unit development that share a garage. Two units are "townhouse" style and two units are a "flat" style unit. Each has it's own private elevator from garage level to each unit level and a private roof for three of the units. Sometimes I wonder what is meant by the "luxury" tag in Real Estate listings. In my opinion, a private elevator and private roof patio is a luxury. The design is a neat modern look that is popping up araound Brookline, I don't hate it and breaks up the traditional architectural look. The first floor exterior wood materials look nice but the upper materials appear mediocre, thin, almost vinyl siding level. Low on maintenance but not worth the price tag. And the wood finish is a big maintenance issue. It will need refinishing at least every other year so they could have stepped up on the upper materials.

Elevators are not just for luxury, they can also be for accessibility. I think four units triggers accessibility requirements.
