Cummings' Plan for Six-Story Office Tower Returns

BEVERLY, MA-A year after it scraps plans to develop a six-story office tower here in the Cummings Center, Cummings Properties Inc. decides to try again but this time in the Elliot Street complex of the Cummings Center.

BEVERLY, MA-Cummings Properties Inc. has proposed the development of a six-story office building here in the Elliot Street complex of the Cummings Center, nearly a year after it scrapped plans to build a similarly sized building nearby.

Plans for the first six-story tower–which required a zoning change–were abandoned because of intense local opposition to the plan. An official in the town’s planning department tells GlobeSt.com that the company then received approval to develop two three-story buildings on the site.

The approval from the town’s conservation commission was appealed by local residents to the state Department of Environmental Protection. But while waiting for the appeal to be decided, Cummings decided to bring back its plans for a six-story office tower–but in a new location. The development company did not return calls by press time but the town official says that the company “really wanted to have a six-story building.”
