St. James Church / Oaktree presentation about condo project

Location: St. James Church

A big public meeting will be held at the church on Thursday, September 10. Oaktree and the church will present the project, and we have encouraged them to invite someone from the city traffic department. This is likely to be the only event of its kind. They were reluctant to push it out much farther, and probably intend to file their plans and such with the Planning Board shortly thereafter.

St. James Church / Oaktree condo

Oaktree Development and St. James's Episcopal Church plan to build a 46 unit, 78300 square foot condominium on the combined car wash and church site. The new building will contain a new parish hall for the church, and the project will provide the church with money to maintain their beautiful and historic, but crumbling, church building at the corner of Beech Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Neighbors are deeply concerned about the size of the new building, impact on the neighborhood, and traffic on Beech Street.
