Sidewalk easement is in place and excavator is on site and working. This is now under construction.

It looks like the 7th floor will be for mechanical purposes and the first floor will have some commercial space, so we're talking about 13 units over 5, perhaps 5 1/2 floors. Those units are going to be huge. They will be expensive no doubt. The developers must have done their homework and ascertained that the demand was there.

It will fill out that corner on Hollis Street very nicely.

Apparently the construction budget for this one is circa $1 million per door. Those are going to be some fancy-pants rentals!

I thought I had heard that even before the released units in The Alexander most of the top floors were already spoken for and therefore had some custom build. So I guess there is a desire for some very upscale rental units in this area.

Speaking of, looks like there's quite a few units for lease in the Alexander right now, including a 1 bedroom for the same rent I paid in 2019. My guess is this construction might have a little bit to do with it.
