"VinCo Properties Inc. said the project at 3716-3724 Washington St. would deliver 35 residential rental units with 10 off-street parking spaces. The site is currently home to Forest Hills Pizza and Forest Hills Dental. Architects, Helicon Design Inc., created a "modern mid-rise building that complements the evolving character of the Forest Hills neighborhood.""
"The plans include 27 market-rate units and eight affordable ones. In addition, the developers say they would widen the sidewalks on Tower Street and the alley between the project site and the funeral home next door to improve safety at entrances and exits."
"The project will require relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals due to the proposed building's dimensional requirements and insufficient off-street parking. The project site would be "transformed into a vibrant mixed-use property.""
