326 State Street: When Too Much FAR Is a Bad Thing

326 State
326 StateMon Dieu! This 7-unit, 8,800-square-foot hulk is a far cry from its charming brick neighbor (and quite a bit bulkier than the one-story garage that it replaced). We’re trying to figure out how the developer, Tona Development, was able to build something this size when as-of-right he was only allowed to build 5,000 square feet. Perhaps he purchased some air rights from the one-story property to the left. How was this developer been in his interaction with the community?

We’re not going to be around this weekend so we’d be eternally grateful for any development-related reader submissions for next week…so make sure those camera batteries are charged!
