Framingham Developments

[jklo]

Speaking of Framingham I walked the new rail trail a few days ago. I like but it's not done - you direct can't get to Natick Center CR from the trail but didn't look into as to how big of a deal that is. I think it's only going to be used for passive recreation which is fine.

Isn’t there supposed to be a connection when the new Natick station is complete?

There is a connection. It's just rocks and not paved. Maybe they will finish it then.

I agree but have to laugh. The apartment's website is a trip... because when you think hipster you think Downtown Framingham

They charge for parking and having a pet too.

Bancroft's close proximity to the vast Cushing Park is a plus.

Bancroft's close proximity to the vast Cushing Park is a plus.

It's also not very far to the Framingham CR. Course they charge 3 grand for a 2 bedroom + $100/month per car for parking and $75/pet. Throw in that you'd might need a $300+ CR pass x2... it really starts to add up.

Another Brickbottom in the making. Wonder how long the complaints over CSX freight moves all times of the day and night will start.

The Nobscot Village plan

The village is a proposed mixed-use residential neighborhood nestled among an existing stand of woodlands within Nobscot Village. The neighborhood will be thoughtfully curated to protect existing wooded buffers along the established neighborhood edges, respond to rolling topography and aesthetically reflect the Nobscot Village design guidelines.

The proposed neighborhood is an extension of the Nobscot Village community. The neighborhood will have walkable streets, common open spaces, shops, restaurants, small market, and opportunities for gathering. Additionally, as part of the development of the neighborhood, improvements to the adjacent Nobscot Park and trail system have been proposed.

Last time I went up that way, the nearby project looked very dead other than demoing the existing buildings and building the new CVS (which is completed). Odds this one gets built is like 0%.

Apparently the term "mixed-use" has lost all meaning

Can confirm the nobscot plaza residential is u/c.

That doesn't look any different than what I mentioned back in February. Lazy developer didn't even haul the dirt out.
