Boston Globe said:

Development firm Bass Realty on Thursday filed initial plans for the project with the Boston Planning & Development Agency, saying it wants to put a five-story apartment building on the site of a Verizon service center and a neighboring warehouse on Enterprise Street...

This looks to be the site. A development of this size (400 units on 4 acres) might even deserve its own thread.

Boston Public Library Considers Adding Apartments To 4 Library Branches

Why stop with those small branches:

Quite a while ago I proposed a tower on the corner of the Johnson wing of the BPL
There is a Massive support structure at each corner of the Johnson Wing -- It could be used to underpin a nice thin blade-like all-glass residential Tower located over toward the Pru [Blagden & Exeter St corner] to be minimally in conflict with the McKim Building or Trinity Church or Copley Sq.

Give the true Bibliophile a way to descend to the library without going outside if they want

Similarly some developer could put a BPL branch into a structure in the Seaport area

“That’s the first phase. Center Court wants to fill out the adjacent 35-55 Morrissey with up to five new buildings with another 1,080 housing units, 86,500 square feet of shops and restaurants, and a 60,000-square-foot grocery store.....”

Great news but I would say that this development definitely deserves it's own thread!
