Mayor, with words, dooms private St Marc dorm project
Effectively killing the project, Boston mayor Thomas M Menino has voiced his opposition to a developer’s plans to build a 24-story, 800 bed “private dorm” on land near the Huntington Ave branch of the YMCA.
According to Banker & Tradesman:
“It’s not a viable project anymore,” Menino told Banker & Tradesman Tuesday. “I still don’t know who will be in charge of a building that would have students from six different universities.”
The mayor’s main opposition, however, seems to be the height and density of the proposed tower. He previously stated his opinion that the project should be 10-stories or less, with 200 or fewer beds.
