Cool

Love this! My only concern is that requiring tenants to not have parking permits feels like a bit too much meddling from a landlord -- though I imagine that's to keep the neighborhood from rioting about maybe not being able to rely on being able to stow private property on public streets.

made the same commitment with its building on Boylston.
Build this.
Now, please.
Top Floors Have Clear Views Into Fenway
I can't wait for the objections coming from a certain area landowner who just had 1.6M SF of development approved and who better sign Yamamoto.
Possible other neighborhood objections:
1. Blocked sunlight to Fenway Victory Gardens at 8:18 PM on the longest day of the year will not allow for full cucumber growth for some seniors, thereby forcing them to starve.
2. Too many people looking for anonymous hook ups in the reeds will possibly be watched by pervs in the units.
3. Geese will fly into the building and therefore there will be less goose crap and feathers in the Muddy River, which in turn will take away one of the highlights of walking down Ipswich Street.
Confused
Are these new apartments the size of an entire floor of the building?
Also, 408 bike parking spots seems low for a 406 unit building where people shouldn't be having cars. Not a reason to reject the proposal, just notable. Are the bike spots deeded?
The building is skinnier and
The building is skinnier and taller. Fewer units per floor, more floors
But will the MBTA step up to the plate with better service?
I'm guessing that this location is about halfway between the Hynes and Kenmore stops on the Green line? Anyway, "build them and they will come", but how well will they get around on the underground trolleys?
Just an accident
That a building in the Fenway is shaped like home plate (kind of)?
