Developer Community Meeting

RMR Group hosts community meeting on 285-unit redevelopment at 9 Galen Street

The RMR Group LLC is hosting a required public information meeting on a proposed transit-oriented, mixed-use redevelopment of the 2.84-acre site at 9 Galen Street in Watertown Square. The proposal calls for a five-plus-story residential building with approximately 285 residential units and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and/or restaurant space. The project would preserve most existing public-facing building façades, retain the existing parking structure, and add publicly accessible open space along the Charles River. This meeting is required before formal application and public hearings before the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals; no decisions are being made at this meeting.
