110 First Street Seeking Approvals

Rumors have been circulating on the internet that the vacant lot at 110 First Street, just west of the recently completed Athena 'A' Tower, was being prepped for construction. It seems the development is going before the planning board (PDF) seeking 452 units, 343 parkings spaces, and nearly 14,000 square feet of retail.

In July 2004, a historically designated warehouse was demolished under the auspices of safety, foretelling the fate of its somewhat more famous neighbor, 111 First Street. Both buildings were owned by Lloyd Goldman, a real estate developer.
