Re: Malden + Melrose
So is the big red building remaining? (I'd thought of as an "integrated whole" with the city hall).
[IMG] ![]() Seeing this, and knowing that I've been in the building to do State/Federal transactions (but can't imagine that I'd have done a city transaction there), was it the case that the City Hall was the south side of the Atrium, the State/Fed was the north, and the Atrium itself was what had squatted atop Pleasant St? Who owns the north side? (the building that appears to have its atrium and entryway scraped off) State? Federal GSA? How are they going to handle the grade change when done? The east half of Pleasant is at a fairly high elevation, while the west half is low (passing under the Orange/Commuter tracks)

That red brick building will be demolished. The demolition is still in progress. The link above has some images of the project. I am not sure if the renders are up to date but they should give a sense of the project. |

Southie has most of the soulless buildings going up but I think theres something there they just need to figure out what it is exactly and master it then copy and paste. The style is different now thats just how it is but theres no reason they cant perfect the new style into something great and replicate it everywhere. Its more about small condos and single bedroom apartments now than it used to be with 3 story 3 family houses. Its different but I know they can get some of the craziness under control and make it something great. |

Re: Malden + Melrose
This is the only rendering I've seen. A little bland, but transit oriented units are always welcome.

Re: Malden + Melrose
It looks like a bank building.

Re: Malden + Melrose
So I was doing some research and apparently in 2011 the building was renovated to be used as a biomedical facility? The Mayor last year called the street a "disaster". I wonder if it just never happened? I'm confused. Either way, it's torn down now..

Re: Malden + Melrose
I moved to Melrose in 2004 and i'm pretty sure the building was empty then. There were some plastic tarps covering it for a couple years and I could never tell if any work was ever being done. Never really looked at it cause it was a dump. I always thought one day it would just collapse cause it leaned pretty bad.

Re: Malden + Melrose
This is a site with 5 minute bus service to Malden Ctr, and a not unpleasant walk on more temperate days. It's tucked out of the way. I could understand not wanting to add traffic to the Fellsway E, but it sucks to see Malden blow it here. Why not seize the opportunity to build housing where no one else is?

Re: Malden + Melrose
There is a building under construction on Florence St (next to 10 Florence) in Malden. It looks like what used to be the parking deck is being turned into a residential building.
They are also using the same ugly facade they used on its older sibling. https://goo.gl/maps/eNUNv3cGFaF2 |
