Details about the future of the old Albee Square Mall, whose parking garage has now been leveled in the first step to creating a massive mixed-use complex, continue to surface. A reader just steered us in the direction of the new website for the development, which is being called City Point. In addition to lots of pretty pictures, the site puts to rest some of the questions about how the project would be divided up in terms of usage. The plan is for 900,000 square feet of rental apartments, 500,000 square feet of retail and 125,000 square feet of Class A office space. It also turns out that Acadia Realty is not the only cook in the kitchen: MacFarlane Partners, Rose Associates, P/A Associates and Washington Square Partners are all involved in the development of various portions of the project. Lastly, the site has the best rendering we’ve seen of what the Willoughby Square Park is expected to look like. Not too shabby. (Update: We’ve been informed that the park rendering has actually been available on the DBP website for a few months.)
