The City of Boston and Charlesview have layers and layers of importance to one another. As the steel buildings rise along Western Avenue, downtown Boston comes into view. And with activity ramping up all over the site, there are now over 120 construction workers on the jobsite each day, priming the Boston economic recovery and great local jobs. We move closer and closer to realizing the vision of preserving Charlesview as a critical housing asset for Allston-Brighton families.
