Brighton development would add 29 apartments in place of office building

A Brookline-based developer wants to replace a one-story office building, a single-family house, and a vacant lot along Market Street in Brighton with a five-story apartment project.

The City Realty Group development at 212-214 Market would include 29 units total, 25 market-rate. Some would be as big as 3-BRs and more than half would have exterior decks.

The complex would also include ground-floor retail, bike storage, and 32 parking spaces.

The development would join others in Brighton, including the big-time Boston Landing now underway and the proposed (and similarly big-time) redevelopment of the old St. Gabriel’s monastery.

The city still has yet to weigh in on 212-214 Market, so stay tuned.
