The Green Monster and Kenmore Square are the key names in the area outside of Fenway Park, traditionally a college and middle class neighborhood. It looks like the powers of gentrification and high rise buildings are moving in and going to transform the area into a showplace.
McQuillan said he and Samuels are close to assembling a site at the corner of Brookline and Boylston for a new high-rise that could be as tall as 20-stories.
Behind the move is a groundswell of demand for new housing near Fenway, a boom driven in part by the exploding growth of major hospitals and research institutions in the nearby Longwood Medical Area.
“What we are going to see over the next six or seven years is a complete transformation of the neighborhood,” McQuillan told members of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties at a briefing yesterday morning. via BostonHerald.com
I am wondering to those out there, is there a chance that Boston will price itself out of being Boston? Meaning, Bostonians have always been either Blue Blood Brahmans or Matter of Fact Joes. Is there still room for the Joes?
