Delay on MBTA Station Improvement Could Impact Local Condo Project

BOSTON-The MBTA’s decision to delay modernizing the Maverick Square subway station here in East Boston could impact the development of the Clippership Wharf Project. The 400-unit project, which is being developed by Roger Cassin and Arthur Winn, is to be located near the station.

Lydia Rivera, spokesperson for the MBTA, confirms for GlobeSt.com that the schedule for modernizing the station has been “somewhat detained.” Rivera says that there initially was a 2004 date to complete the renovations to the station but she adds, “basically we’ve had to extend the date. We had other priorities we had to attend to. The modernization will have to wait until 2008.” Rivera notes that designers are already working on the station so it is possible that the date could be pushed up.

As to the repercussions a modernized station would have on local development projects, Rivera says, “I realize what we do impacts development in the area with regard to making the area nice.”
