Development

Arsenal Yards Developers Proposing Limiting Area Where Increased Height Would be Allowed

By |

The developers of Arsenal Yards have submitted an alternative amendment for increased height for the planned residential tower on the former Arsenal Mall property. 

The original proposal called for increasing the allowable height from 130 feet to 197 feet (an increase of 67 feet) for Building G in the Arsenal Yards development. The additional height would allow the condominium building to be 18 stories tall, instead of 12, but would have the same number of units. Also, the footprint of the building would be reduced. The original proposed change to Watertown’s zoning ordinance would apply to properties at least 10 acres in size located anywhere in the Regional Mixed Use District (RMUD), which includes the properties where both malls are located, along with some property along parts of Arsenal Street, Coolidge Avenue, Elm Street and Arlington Street. The alterations proposed by Boylston Properties would ask for the same height increase, but limit it to the areas south of Arsenal Street.

The celebration of Donohue’s 20th anniversary kicks off this week. John Donohue, owner and founder of Donohue’s, still recalls the day he opened for business — July 24, 1998. “It was the Friday of the Hawaiian Open — the Friends of Matt Galligan golf tournament,” Donohue said. “They all came in after the tournament.”
