According to public documents, the original plans\u2014which were submitted for review and then approved by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) two years ago\u2014called for a 320-apartment glass tower rising 22 stories above ground. However, Samuels &amp; Associates re-evaluated the project and submitted a Notice of Project Change that added more housing in the mix and increased the tower\u2019s height to 30 stories.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed The Point, the final version of the $290 million project was green lighted by the BRA in February this year and is ready to break ground by summer. Miami-based architecture firm Arquitectonica designed the 390,460-square-foot tower which will feature 240 rental apartments and 109 condos. According to <em><a title=\"The Boston Globe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/business\/2015\/02\/26\/fenway-apartment-the-point-grows-taller-adds-condos\/QPcu3hiVK4HEa1VLWnPXFN\/story.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Boston Globe<\/a><\/em>, who quoted sources from Samuels &amp; Associates, the 109 condos were added to the project to reflect a shift in the housing market, with homeownership becoming an asset that\u2019s both financeable and available.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from adding much-needed housing in a dense urban setting, The Point is also expected to improve the pedestrian and retail experience of the Fenway area. Construction plans include a two-story retail base of approximately 20,000 square feet, and The Point Plaza\u2014an urban public open space at the junction of Boylston Street, Brookline Avenue and Park Drive . The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rendering courtesy of Samuels &amp; Associates<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developer Samuels &amp; Associates got the green light to begin a complex transformation project of the gritty corner of Brookline Avenue, Boylston Street and Park Drive in Boston&rsquo;s Fenway neighborhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":1004505906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1490,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004114605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boston","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
