The following announcement was posted on the City of Watertown’s website:

Alexandria Real Estate Equities (“ARE”) will be hosting a Public Information Meeting in keeping with the Watertown Zoning Ordinance. This notice is for the community meeting required prior to formal application to the Watertown Planning Board.

The presentation will include an update, review and discussion of plans relating to the first phase, Phase 1, of the approved Master Plan of the Watertown Mall Transformation Project. The purpose of this meeting is to update the community as to Phase 1 of the Master Plan which provides a collaborative and innovative campus including life science, retail, residential, and community uses, as well as publicly accessible open spaces and streetscape improvements.

The discussion will review the final design details of three of the proposed buildings (OL-2, OL-3 and A-2) and any related landscaping and other improvements which are part of Phase 1 of the Master Plan Site. The site is located at 446-458, 500 and 550 Arsenal Street.

The meeting will be hosted at the Alexandria-Arsenal on the Charles Campus, 300 North Beacon Street, on Thursday, July 11, 2024, at 6:30 pm. If required, parking is available in the West Garage on Campus.

The meeting provides a time for the community to ask questions, provide comments and learn more about the project and development process. We hope you can join us.
