Whatever happened to that proposal for right across the street from this, for that empty lot next to Apna Cash and Carry?

@HotPocketMan The project next to that supermarket is currently out for bids. From what I’ve seen - no changes yet to the original proposal. So thankfully, it’s a work in progress and not dead yet. “Sasvic Tower” as its being marketed.

@apophenic thanks for these links to these PB applications! These are all great news for the city - especially after covid. I’ve always hated this prominent lot being used as a Pep Boys garage lol.

Renderings, from MVMK Architecture. Also added them to the original post at the top of the thread.

This tower will be great filler in the Journal Square skyline

Kinda looks like a sister tower to Ellipse

The irregular window placement fad will not die.

This one was approved by the Planning Board last week.

Just received news from the local neighborhood association that this is going to Planning Board again for an update. It will now be 31 stories - they bought the property next door and added that to the assemblage. Potentially on the Feb. 2 Planning Board agenda.

updated proposal has many fewer apartments, only 252 instead of 322, and adds 108 hotel rooms.

Edited the title to reflect that this project has grown from the original 28 floors to the current 35 floors.

In section 55 of the above link it states the commercial site for pep boys and a single family home lot combined. I noticed today they finished clearing the residential site.
