Now that it’s zoning is in place, the Riverside Station project is going back before the City Council’s Land Use committee on Tuesday Jan, 28. For your weekend reading pleasure, the Planning Department memo is here.

Is this photo accurate? If so I think it is attractive. Are they using brick? Where can I access this photo?
Never mind. I did “save image as” and it saved much larger
Well, it’s a drawing of course, not a photo.
Is it accurate? I don’t know. But there were inaccuracies in the drawings of Washington place. One obvious inaccuracy in that one was showing a large strip of grass and trees across the street which doesn’t and cannot exist, even if they made the road smaller by a lane. The other inaccuracy was projective math- the church steeple a short distance down was made to look nearly as tall as the building which was not possible. So the drawings tend to be biased. They are marketing tools.
In this particular drawing I would question the size of the buildings in the distance. I’m not saying they are correctly drawn or not; just that I would be inclined to do some math to see if the height is correctly scaled.
Rick Frank is correct about the scale of the buildings in the back. This is a pre-compromise rendering. The current renderings have a much downsized presence along 128.
@Claire the design proposal is to use brick and other facade materials to reflect New England’s mill history.
Y’all should be able to find the latest on the Planning Department’s web page, under “High Interest Projects”
We could sure use a healthy organic grocery store there (i.e. Star MKT and/or Brother’s Marketplace) & some decent coffee shops nearby (i.e. Starbucks).
