Slightly old news but worth getting out there again. This week is was announced that Boston Residential Group has plans to tear down the Home for Little Wanderers in Jamaica Plain and construct a brand new $75,000,000.00 building with about 200 apartments and 175 parking spaces. According to BRG president, Curtis Kemeny, he hopes to gain zoning approval by the fall and plans on an 18 month construction time starting in 2012.

This is a WELCOME addition to South Huntington and will certainly spruce up things in that neck of the woods. With the Emerald Necklace just moments away, Longwood Medical Center near by, and collegiate students living throughout the area I’d anticipate this being a very successful project. The developer says he is planning on the majority of units being studios and one bedroom units . . . I’d personally like to see more 2 beds and some 3 bedroom units but I won’t complain as this is great news for the area!
