The $150 million project will include a 2,700 square foot ground floor community center furnished with computers and presentation equipment that will be maintained by the building management and available for use by the neighborhood.  Substantial investment in the reconstruction of the sidewalks in front of 1282 Boylston will include high-quality paving materials, landscaping, and lighting. The project will create 600 construction jobs and 360 permanent jobs that are convenient to public transportation.  The development team includes the Abbey Group, architects Bruner/Cott and Associates, and legal counsel Rubin and Rudman LLP. 1282 Boylston Street joins the $315 million Fenway Triangle Mixed Use project located at 1325 Boylston Street that was approved in September 2011.  Other recently completed developments in the neighborhood include Trilogy and 1330 Boylston Street, which have dramatically altered the Boylston Street streetscape and revitalized the Fenway neighborhood.
