Most of Lower Allston groans when Harvard releases details of its latest land acquisition in their neighborhood.

Not Today!

What’s loving referred to as the communist block, in my office, the horrible looking cement fortress known as the CharlesView Apartment Complex has agreed to a land swap, of sorts, with Harvard University. The residents of CharlesView will locate to, the Harvard owned, Brighton Mills Shopping Center where soon to be constructed apartments, townhouses, and condos await them all within walking distance of a Shaw’s Supermarket and other retailers.

The old location at the corner of North Harvard Ave and Western Ave will be integrated into the Harvard Allston Campus Plan. More Importantly it will be torn down! A massive $1 Billion science complex will spring from the rubble. Basically the Real Estate version of the Berlin Wall coming down!
