With Mayor Menino’s term as mayor nearing an end, developers are rushing their projects forward to receive a final approval while Menino’s BRA is still in place before the uncertainty of a new mayor takes hold.  

I just finishing following along with the BRA Board meeting (something that can now be done online on the BRA’s website).  They approved $375 Million dollars in new construction including changes to existing plans and new developments to existing hotels.



A full list of detailed BRA approvals can be found here, but they include…

  1. $45 Million dollar, 94 room expansion to Kenmore Square’s Hotel Commonwealth.
  2. A split in Phase II of the massive Ink Block Development in the South End.  The originally proposed single building with 156 units will now be split into two smaller buildings with the same number of units for $55 mil.
  3. A change in the $250 Million dollar LoveJoy wharf project eliminating some of the proposed housing units in the future Converse world headquarters near the TD Garden.
