Dear members and friends,
SCAPE, the proposed developer of the multi-building complex at 1252 – 1270 Boylston St. intends to build a 15-story, 533-unit dormitory and other amenities. A public meeting about the proposal will be held on Monday, April 22 at 6:00 PM at Simmons University’s main building, located at 300 The Fenway, Room C 101.
On Wednesday, April 24, the Project’s IAG member meeting, also open to the public, will convene, same time and place as above.Article 66 of the Fenway neighborhood zoning legislation forbids the creation of student dormitories on Boylston Street. Our FCA board unanimously supports these zoning standards developed by a multi-year consensus of residents, businesses, institutions, and city officials. The “no dormitory” provision was purposely inserted into our Fenway zoning to limit institutional expansion and preserve neighborhood quality of life. Our board strenuously objects to any stripping of that provision by the City and SCAPE. We encourage residents to read this proposal and participate in the public process for this project.You may read the project description and send your comments by visiting:
