Jeffries Point to get rooftop dining - and yoga

Proposed Cunard Building in East Boston

Another architect's rendering featuring a blimp (also see).

The Zoning Board of Appeals today approved Philip Frattaroli's proposal to turn the shuttered Oscar's Woodworking building, 47 Webster St. into a restaurant with rooftop seating, a yoga studio and four residential units.

Frattaroli, who owns Ducali in the North End - and whose family started out in the restaurant business in East Boston - plans to call his gastropub Cunard Tavern, after both the shipping line and the tavern of the same name that used to be in East Boston.

A single page that shows all of the new designs for every new residential/commercial condo building in Boston? Because I'm starting to think they're all just the same building. They all seem to be slight variation of the Amazon Box Being Eaten By An IKEA Box theme.

The Boston Globe online recently had a page like that, showing all the bigger projects in Boston.

No tear down , is it a new rebuild!
If I owned that building, I would make a proposal to BRA and build at least 7 stories up, increasing the number of units, why not? The Seville theatre on Meridian St is building 6 stories up. After all there is a shortage of housing in Eastie.

For the love of God no new massive housing development without adding sufficient parking for residents. Also there is a shortage of affordable housing in Eastie. In the nearly 5 years I have lived in this neighborhood rent has increased 30%.

Parking is the enemy of affordability. Move to the burbs already!

A large percent of newbies moving into Eastie are 20 and 30 something's who mostly rely on taking the T. for example ,there are loads of brand new apartment's without parking on Bremen Street In between Marion Street and all the way up towards Putnam Street. But, I would like to see a Restaurant/Bar on this side of Bremen Street near the Library and Airport T Station , just hopefully on this end of Bremen Street, someone a developer of some sort would add one. People mostly talk about what's going on in Jefferies Point , rents in Jefferies Point are the highest in all of Eastie, most sought after and the most expensive to buy , that's if you can find any real estate for sale(it goes quickly). Bremen Street South and the northern side of Bremen Street along the Park will be Eastie's next most sought after, it's already starting to show. Things are looking bright for Eastie...

It's two blocks from the Maverick Square Blue Line station.

Just because the T is close, it does not mean all tenants will use it.

... they'll live somewhere else with parking, not here. So what's the problem?

Because if you don't speak Spanish, you cannot get a job in the neighborhood. I'd like to throw in a gentle reminder that Government Center has been closed for over a year complicating commutes, much less with the travel complications this Winter, and not everyone has jobs accessible by T.

... Government Center will also be open.

Anyone whose job is not accessible by T is unlikely to choose to live here.

because people who move there will have cars despite the urban utopian dream of us all using the T, which by the way took me and hour and a half from maverick to hynes on sunday.. Yes people need to go places in a timely manner on sunday as well.
