Chelsea Waterfront Vision Workshop, facilitated by MAPC - TONIGHT:
it'll be more hotels and a tiny piece for a park.
Chelsea Waterfront Vision Workshop, facilitated by MAPC - TONIGHT:
Light rail from where to where?
Also - more seriously - how likely is it for the gas farms, salt pits, etc to ever really go away?
On a serious note, I am going to this. I'm determined to get my light rail down a dense Eastern Ave corridor. =P
Did you attend? I wanted to go but had other things to take care of...
Everett Avenue Property sold for $43 Million
April 7, 2016 | By Seth Daniel
A California developer has purchased the Chelsea Clock building and a collection of scrap yard properties once owned by Billy Thibeault of Wood Waste for $47.7 million.
The properties on Everett Avenue, Vale Street, Carter Street, Fourth Street, Fifth Street and Locust Street were previously proposed and approved for 692 units of housing in two towers across the street from Chelsea High School. That proposal was contemplated for years and approved last fall, to the discouragement of many in the City who felt it was too dense and had a desire to save the Chelsea Clock building.
Fairfield LLC has made the purchase and the company is based in San Diego, though it has luxury rental housing properties in the Boston area.

Scapicchio and his business partner, Mark Heuber, have already purchased the Choice Thru Education building for $650,000 and plan to add three floors on top of the existing building (going from 15 feet to 45 feet) – which will be a retail use, perhaps a restaurant.
The plan calls for 20 units on the top three floors, with one studio, 10 one-bedrooms and nine two-bedrooms. There will be 11 parking spaces in a basement parking garage and ample bike racks.
It will first be heard by the Zoning Board of Appeals on May 10.
The second proposal is smack dab on Broadway, at the Broadway Mini-Mall.
There, owner David Peach is looking to dramatically refurbish the old Masonic Building with Eastie developer Jay Duca.
Peach, who operates a bakery in the basement, would spend $3.1 million to renovate the existing three floors and to add a fourth floor. The plan calls for renovating the basement and first floor commercial/retail areas and adding 15 units of housing on the second, third and fourth floors. Two units would be affordable units.
There would be two one-bedrooms and three two-bedroom units on each of the residential floors. The housing would replace an old Masonic Theatre that still exists but is not safe to use.
Peach needs 31 spaces for the proposed project, but only has four – meaning he will need zoning relief for 27 spaces.
The third plan by Jimmy Chan hopes to create 16 units out of an existing eight units above Heller’s Liquors and other existing businesses in a building next to Bellingham Square.
That plan calls for four two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units on floors two and three. The existing floor plan has eight, six-bedroom units on the two floors.
