A developer has filed plans for a six-story luxury condo building at 100 A St. that would feature eight two-bedroom units and one with an almost unheard of four bedrooms on land now occupied by Williams Tavern and My Diner.
In a filing with the BRA last month, developer Michael Moor says the first floor would have room for a coffee shop. The building would have a ten-car garage - supplemented with eight spaces rented in a nearby garage.
The site also borders the Gillette manufacturing complex which is located directly across the street on West 2nd Street. The proposed new 6-story structure will easily serve as an effective “transition”, or “buffer”, between manufacturing activities and the residential/commercial district where this site is located. It should be noted that the immediately adjacent Gillette buildings are of reasonably pleasant design and architectural character.

Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I actually heard this a while ago from someone who works across the street. I didn't wanna believe it cuz I love My Diner so much. Now it's on UHub so it must be true! So sad....

My Diner is fantastic and kept me well fed when I was working in Fort Point. To hear it's going for Yet More Gentrified Luxury Condo Crap is very depressing to hear.

But not better/worse than Mul's up the street. In the end, it was a 1 story building a short walk downtown or to the Red Line. Much better use of space. I just don't see why builders aren't putting more retail space on the first floors of these buildings.
This is sad

Just can't wait until every Boston n'hood looks like San Jose or Reston or whatever pop-up, disposable architecture, cookie cutter shit hole that is completely indistinguishable from anywhere else in the US. We'll kill this fucking goose yet!
What are you talking about?

They're tearing down a crappy one story building, not the old statehouse.

putting up another cheap-ass nondescript building that will be falling apart in 20 years.
