What building, where?
According to https://www.facebook.com/downtownboston, 411 Washington St. (Old FYE building)
What? What?? What??!
It will be kind of weird with the retail to the left and right of it; until those get filled in with more housing it will be kind of an oasis.
I had hoped someone would buy this and the B&N building next door and put up a mid-rise / high-rise apt/condo building but apparently not to be.
I don't know if the hotel going in down the street is a good thing or a bad thing - it could be a block-breaker.
Development began today on 411 Washington St. (former FYE building). The upper stories are being converted into 14 apartment units ranging from 700-1,000 sq. ft. The street-level retail unit, with the famous Art Deco sculpture on the recessed doorway from when the building hosted I.J. Fox Furs, is being fully restored. Construction is set to finish this November.
