Boylston Properties
A meeting will be held to talk about the renovation of the Verizon building at 480 Arsenal St., which backs up to Nichols Avenue.
Boylston Properties will discuss plans to renovate and expand the Verizon building in East Watertown at a public meeting.
The building at 480 Arsenal St., which backs up to Nichols Avenue, will be turned from a warehouse to offices. It will have a total of 185,000 square feet of office space “by carving out and adding to the existing building footprint, and inserting a floor within the existing structure,” according to the announcement sent out by Boylston Properties.
Additional improvements included in the project are “connections to the Watertown Greenway, large amenity and open spaces, and a reconstructed parking field with upgraded stormwater management and infiltration systems.”
The main access to the building will continue to be at the signalized intersection at Arsenal Street, according to the announcement, with a secondary access and improvements along Nichols Avenue.
At the meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 18, neighbors and residents are invited to hear about the project, ask questions and give their comments on the proposal. The information session will be held at 480 Arsenal St. Suite 3 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the marketing center. The entrance is located on the south side of the existing building, as indicated on the photo above.
What a shame the concerns and desires of the neighborhood people are so blatantly disregarded.
