CHARLESVIEW APARTMENTS RELOCATION APPROVED IN BOSTON

BOSTON — The Community Builders and Charlesview Inc. have received approval from the Boston Zoning Commission to relocate the Charlesview Residences mixed-income housing community in Boston. The project would include the relocation of the current Charlesview Residences, a 213-unit community located at the intersection of North Harvard Street and Western Avenue in the city's Allston neighborhood, to an existing parking lot further down Western Avenue. A larger structure will be built containing 240 units of moderate and workforce rental housing units and 100 ownership units. The old building will be demolished and utilized by Harvard University, which completed a land swap with the joint venture, for future expansion. CBT is the project architect for the new Charlesview Residences. Groundbreaking is scheduled for spring.
