There has been some discussion of this lot on Beacon St over in the Children's IMP thread, but now that it has a real proposal on its own right I think it's time for its own thread.
Scape now has development rights, and their massive PDF Project Impact Report (349 pages, 169 mb) for 1252-1270 Boylston includes a rough proposal for this project. Working title is "The Beacon."
Since the 1252-1270 Boylston doc is so large, I've pulled the Beacon-specific info below.
Consider me not a fan at all of the massing and lack of streetwall. Is all that green space necessary? I konw the GL tunnel runs through this site, but the building appears to largely be built on top of the right-of-way.
I like the change of use from office to residential, but other than that I don't think this plan is quite fully baked yet.
