Surrounding 235 Huntington are several of these colleges and universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, the Berklee School of Music, Boston University and Wentworth University. The discoveries at these universities consistently create industries, companies, and thousands of jobs in the local economy. Together, these universities have experienced a 20% increase in total student population since 2001. To complement these institutes of higher learning, the Huntington Avenue Institutional Corridor is also home to some of the region’s most celebrated art institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, The Boston Symphony Orchestra, The New England Conservatory, and many others. As the medical, academic and arts campuses have expanded along Huntington Avenue and the surrounding area, the opportunities for such expansion have dwindled. A majority of the acreage along Huntington Avenue between 235 Huntington and Brigham Circle is occupied, through either ownership or leased tenancy, by the various institutions. 235 Huntington presents a unique opportunity to accommodate a wide variety of campus-related functions in an iconic setting. 235 HUNTINGTON AVE | AVENUE OF THE ARTS Berklee College of Music 235 Huntington Ave BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS New England Conservatory ASSET OVERVIEW: EXISTING CONDITIONS GROUND FLOOR GARAGE EXHAUST SHAFT ROOF OVERHANG 235 HUNTINGTON AVE | AVENUE OF THE ARTS AUDITORIUM F.E.

  • Boston on Foot Boston Is, After Pole, and the Green All, Considered the Monster, to Name a Few
    85282 AALL Spectrum.apr 3/26/04 12:00 PM Page 18 Pack Good Walking Shoes Boston is an eminently walkable city. In fact, you can span the main part of it during a leisurely stroll. This is perhaps the best way to see the sights up close and in a relaxed fashion. If you were to consider the city a hub, like Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. did, imagine the center of the hub being the convention center. (There actually is a plaque embedded in the pavement in a downtown location depicting the true center, but for convenience purposes we’ll assume the convention center as the starting point). Get familiar with the points of the compass, and follow along. You’ll only need a few hours in any direction to discover a world of intrigue and interest.

  • Parcel P-12 Development & Urban Design Guidelines
    PARCEL P-12 DEVELOPMENT & URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES Development Guidelines Parcel P-12 is an approximately 30,000 square feet parcel located in the South Cove Urban Renewal Area, owned by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (“BRA”), doing business as the Boston Planning & Development Agency (“BPDA”). The objective for the redevelopment of Parcel P-12 is to create a dense, mixed-use infill development on an under-utilized public parcel that prioritizes affordable housing and a vibrant streetscape environment at the ground level. The guidelines in this RFP reflect input from a variety of sources, including recent community workshops conducted by the BPDA and the City of Boston. While there have been a number of past studies on this parcel, interested parties should respond to the development and design guidelines described below. 1. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT: The parcel is situated at the convergence point ​ of several neighborhoods, including Chinatown to the east, Bay Village to the west, and the Theater District to the north. The parcel is also located proximate to the Tufts Medical Center, the YMCA and the Josiah Quincy Elementary School and Boston Center for Youth and Families (BCYF) Quincy Community Center. Development on this site must therefore be sensitive and responsive the surrounding neighborhoods and institutional uses and should aspire to improve the existing context beyond the boundaries of the development. 2. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY: This development is a long-awaited opportunity ​ to create a significant number of income-restricted units in an area that has experienced market-rate development pressures. As a result, at least half of the units should be income-restricted, so as to address displacement, which is a strong concern of both area residents and the City of Boston.
