But the request to remove parking wasn't to meet buyers' expectations, right? It was to lower the cost of construction. Or, is that too obvious to mention?
Related Beal’s proposal to erase parking from its 175-unit condominium project near Boston’s North Station may have more to do with the bottom line than being a “responsible developer.”
The cost of a mechanical parking garage runs from $25,000 to $50,000 per space, according to the Urban Land Institute. For Lovejoy’s 315 spaces, that means a cost anywhere between $8 million and $16 million to build the high-tech parking garage.
If that's the new design then I can't wait till Menino leaves office.

That's easily the most realistic-looking precast brick I've ever seen. (Unless it is real? I'll have to look for myself in a few days.)
