Equity Residential has filed plans for new apartments yesterday, which would replace the five story Garden Garage that are home to 650 parking spots (the one with a big bubble on the top of it).  This garage would be moved to an underground facility with an additional 200 spaces addded.  Equity Residential are the same minds behind the very successful West End Apartments, which will be a stones throw from their new project.  They’re reviewing all sorts of different scenarios and are going to get some input from bordering neighbors and the city to come to a compromise on height and design of the 3-acre site.  Causeway Street, Nashua Street, Lomansey and other parts of the West End are undergoing a lot of change and development and I think its good for the area. The West End/Garden area needs some redesign and a new look.  The Archstone Avenir is a beautiful building, but it sticks out like a sore thumb over there, I’m excited to get some more luxury/trendy residences in that same block, this area will be devoured with luxury residential buildings. We’ll keep you posted on this project.
