Here’s what the affordable development at 816 Washington Avenue, at St. Johns Place, will look like. The previous building here was destroyed in a fire last summer. The new one will have four three-bedroom apartments and four four-bedroom apartments with rents roughly around $1,500 and $1,700 a month. All the displaced tenants are guaranteed apartments, and the rest will be offered to renters through a lottery. The developers hope to have their plans approved by the Board of Standards and Appeals in the fall. All that new commercial space will be rented out to different tenants than those who occupied the space before the fire. The previous building here had no commercial space along St. Johns Place.
