Residences at Readville Station | 1717-1725 Hyde Park Ave | Hyde Park

There is sooooo much available land here near transit. These are the types of development for the infill of the 21st century. This can bring lots of walkable retail for these residents that already live by here too. With those two alone adding 826 units, theres room here to have in total at least 2,400 units here within walking distance to transit, and added retail as well greatly adding to the walkability of the area.

Yeah, in a lot of ways, Readville should be a massive development site, both for residential and commercial projects. During the Olympic bid era, I was of the opinion that Readville would be a good place for a lot of venues, including the stadium. Situated at the intersection of three commuter rail lines, it would have been super accessible. It just makes too much sense to use the area for much higher density construction.

Yes, the whole area is kind of tired and ragged. The residential side streets are pleasant, and I understand why neighbors are concerned about negative impacts, but developing all these old industrial sites would really tie the room together and give Readville more of an identity. Wolcott Square ain't it, at least in its current state.
