Quality Developer at Work.

Those of you planning to join the St. Aidan’s Design Advisory Group on September 6, will have to wait until the 24th [see listing] to hear of “the minor design changes” to the project. Oh wait, there’s a “pre-construction meeting” being hosted by the Archdiocese on the 17th.

I guess the project is a design-build.

Or it may have more to do with the fact that the developer’s August 15, 2007 building application was denied by the Brookline Buidling Department - yes you heard right - due to issues with plans for egress.

I’m waiting to meet the “quality developer” the Housing Advisory Board and Brookline Selectmen keep mentioning. It can’t be this one to which they’ve given $6 million in public funds.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering the permit application does not mention demolition of the rectory. Funny, that.

  1. What is that Show Biz line for an act that is playing badly?

    Failing which: GET THE HOOK!

    Kenny Rogers can be heard singing in the background about knowing when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em (the cards). This aint BINGO!
