After three years of negotiation, the fate of the Charlesview
Apartments finally looks close to being sealed. Barring unforeseen
difficulties, Harvard will buy the apartment complex, a low-income
housing development overlooking Harvard’s Allston athletic facilities
at the corner of North Harvard St. and Western Ave. In return, Harvard
will rebuild the apartments on a plot of land it owns further west
along Western Ave., at the current site of the Brighton Mills Shopping
Center. While development could progress on Harvard’s existing Allston
holdings without this land swap, we believe that any future campus
across the river with a five-acre lacuna at its heart would ultimately
be second-best. This triangular plot is crucial to Harvard’s vision of
reinvigorating the intersection known as “Barry’s Corner.”
