"City Realty submitted the application for the 96-room hotel on an approximately 8,000-square-foot site to the Boston Planning and Development Agency on Aug. 11. According to the application, the developers hope to cater to diverse visitors, specifically families visiting students at nearby universities, business travelers, and tourists. The building will include four covered temporary parking spaces and a valet service at the rear."
"The application cites its location within walking distance of several MBTA bus routes and the Green Line's Harvard Avenue stop as the justification for not including dedicated parking as part of the proposal. Under current code requirements, the hotel would need to create 58 spaces. The developers will need a variance to allow only four spaces. City Realty plans to locate the proposed hotel within its BPDA-approved L-shaped residential building at 415 Cambridge St."
A seven-story, 96-room hotel is proposed for an approximately 8,000-square-foot site in Allston and submitted to the Boston Planning and Development Agency on Aug. 11. The developers intend to serve families visiting students, business travelers, and tourists. The building design includes four covered temporary parking spaces and a rear valet service. The proposal relies on proximity to MBTA bus routes and the Green Line's Harvard Avenue stop to justify limited parking. Current code would require 58 spaces, so a variance is requested. The hotel will sit within a BPDA-approved L-shaped residential building at 415 Cambridge St., part of the Allston Square redevelopment.
