The Boston Courant recently reported that the Waltham Tavern at 298 Shawmut Avenue will be converted into six luxury condo units. As you may recall, the Waltham Tavern was shut down in early 2006 due to drug sales.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Huntington Group would like to move forward with construction in the August 2007 timeframe. With plans to totally gut rehab the entire building, construction should take a minimum of eight months.
The new condo construction planned at the Waltham Tavern condo development is just one of many redevelopments of notable “landmarks” in the South End, of most note, is the D4 Police Station redevelopment (opening in June 2007), and the Penny Savings Bank condos (opening in July 2007).
