January 29, 2019 Update

The BPDA hosted our first IAG meeting tonight, the first opportunity to unveil our new team, Studio Gang as the architect of record, Jeff Speck, renowned urban planner and Landscape Architect, Reed Hilderbrand and the brand new vision for the hotel at 560 Commonwealth Avenue. The changes include moving the proposed building away from our residential neighbors in Kenmore Tower, and most notably, creating 30,000 of new public realm for the benefit of the entire community to enjoy. The new proposal reconfigures streets to make Kenmore Square safer and more accessible for pedestrians and bicyclists, and improved traffic patterns to respect the square.
