What came as bad news for the Boston biking community could turn into an excellent opportunity for middle-class renters looking for a nice place to call home.<\/p>\n

\"Rendering<\/a><\/p>\n

Rendering of 89-95 Brighton Ave. – Allston<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Back in January, International Bicycle Centers\u2014one of the largest bicycle retailers in the Boston area\u2014announced to its customers it closed permanently after 45 years. The business was sold to Landry\u2019s Bicycles, while the popular shop located at 89-95 Brighton Ave. in Boston\u2019s Allston neighborhood was transferred to Eden Properties, a private development company based in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Much to no one\u2019s surprise, Eden Properties acquired the site along with two other brownfield parcels encompassing 33,820 square feet with plans to replace it with a transit-oriented development. Last month the Cambridge-based developer filed an extended project notification form with the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), according to BostInno<\/a><\/em>. As detailed in the public documents, Eden will demolish the existing three buildings\u2014two low-rise commercial buildings and a house\u2014to make room for a mixed-use structure with 138 rental units, around 7,100 square feet of new commercial space, a surface garage with 69 parking spaces, covered bike storage for 142 bicycles, and an on-site bike repair station.<\/p>\n

The building designed by Prellwitz Chilinski Associates will offer a combination of studios, one- and two-bedroom units, while the commercial space will include retail and caf\u00e9 space on Brighton Avenue.<\/p>\n

If approved by the BRA, the project could kick off as early as May 2016 and wrap up in June 2017.<\/p>\n
