This is true.
Just as we're seeing in the North End with the string of 6 to 8-storey residential developments that are apparently in response, at least in part, to shipbuilding, I can only imagine what a stadium on the Commons would do for that area's growth.
The Atlantica Hotel would have reason to renovate immediately.
I would like to see redevelopments on land that is currently occupied by single-family houses. There's so much potential!
There are already midrise towers bordering much of the Commons. This height wouldn't at all be shocking. The additional density means the city can afford to better maintain the old sports infrastructure and green space on the Commons. It needs to be re-landscaped as well.
