Development Watch: Love Lane Mews Floorplans Revealed
Since we last posted about the Love Lane Mews condo conversion project, plans for converting the former garage into apartments have been filed. Although they were disapproved, the important info is out of the bag: The Stephen B. Jacobs design calls for 38 units spread over 68,573 gross square feet, so you're probably talking an average apartment size of between 1,200 and 1,500 net square feet. In the meantime, we also were able to dig up the floorplans the developer was required to file with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, so if you click through to the jump, you can check out close-ups of the 9 College Place (the southernmost building in the 4-building complex) and 23 College Place (the northernmost). Looks like lots of two-bedrooms, which would jibe with the back-of-the-enveloper square-footage calculation above.

I like the layouts in #9 better with the open kitchens. Galley kitchens don't do it for me.

They've started demo this week. The section of the #9 blueprint that reads 'open below' is the old elevator shaft of the parking garage. Appears to be an atrium in the design. Too bad there aren't more 3 BR's here... there's a dearth of them in the Heights.

I find this very unappealing. The layouts are modern cookie-cutter but unlike a modern highrise, there are no views. The whole project just exploits the location but is devoid of any character of its own.

I like real kitchens surrounded by walls where I can make a mess cooking and not have to look at it while dining. It's an over forty thing, you wouldn't understand.

Anyone know about the two townhouses slated to be built on the property on the other side of College Place? My apartment looks out over the back of that property, and they appear to be tearing the roof off the one and a half storey building that's currently there. How high can they build on that site? And does the developer have to let neighbors know about construction/building plans as part of the approval process?
