The Zoning Board of Appeals rejected a five-story hotel proposed to go on a small street off of Arsenal Street in the East End of Watertown.
The proposal had met strong opposition from residents of Elm Street, and had already failed to get the recommendation from the Planning Board. However, other projects with similar opposition had received the OK from the ZBA. On Wednesday night, ZBA members said they liked the look of the hotel, which had changed since originally being proposed. However, they said project barely fit on the parcel of land, and towered over nearby businesses and homes. Steve Winnick, attorney for the developers – Elm Hospitality LLC – said that he believes the project is in line with the redevelopment of former industrial sites in Watertown as seen in other areas of town.
An old warehouse off Pleasant Street has been transformed into acres of fun for kids and the young at heart, and Launch Trampoline Park has more improvements coming as it nears its one-year anniversary. The 37,000-square-foot building features six trampoline areas and other fun activities, the facility has plenty of activities. The Watertown location, which opened in January, is part of the Launch franchise – partly owned by former Patriot Ty Law – but it is owned and run by Mark and Ginny Murphy. It offers dodgeball and extreme dodgeball courts (one with an extra wall of trampolines in the middle). Trampolines with basketball hoops to dunk on and a foam pit are also popular.
The monthly Watertown Real Estate Market Report by The Madden Team found that interest in the market had gotten stronger, even after the end of the summer.
Compared to last month’s statistics, there seems to have been an increase in new to market activity rising from three new listings last month at this time to 10 new listings this month. Pending sales is slightly up, while total number of sales last week compared to last month’s same week is down 50 percent. The current inventory has remained mostly consistent since last month. There are the exact same number of multi-family homes available (6), while single families has only increased by one home (11 last month to 12 this month). The biggest increase is in condominiums which now has 25 active listings, which is up 5 condos since last month (20).
