Nordblom Proposes Apartments to Rise on Brookline Parking Lot

A seven-story building with 103 apartments is proposed for a parking lot in Brookline’s Coolidge Corner, but first it’ll need rezoning approval from Town Meeting voters, the Boston Business Journal reported. Developer Nordblom Co. is proposing a project with a mix of unit types between studios and three-bedroom apartments.

The site at 26 Pleasant St. stands just a block off Beacon Street and two blocks off Harvard Street, the main thoroughfares through the neighborhood. Nordblom has owned it for decades. However, the 0.6-acre site has long been used strictly as a surface lot, reported the Business Journal.

At the upcoming Town Meeting on May 26, voters will consider a proposal fora new residential overlay zoning district covering Pleasant Street. If the zoning is approved, the project would still have to get approval from the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals to move forward, the Brookline News reported.
