Any other suggestions or questions about the project?

I think you need to answer a lot of questions before this project proceeds. Specifically: • What is the anticipated mix between assisted living/independent living/family units? You must have at least an... Read more...

What else would you suggest for small, neighborhood-serving retail at the 114 Whitwell redevelopment?

I do not think there should be any amenity retail space in the development. There is no needand opening up the area to any such use threatens future use of the property. It is important to understand that... Read more...

i think 598 units is too many for that area. I think 400 is plenty. I also would like to see it rented by 55+ residents, assisting living, and low income seniors. I don't want to see children because... Read more...

Thank you for this feedback as well. We believe that the proposed solution for the Euclid Avenue gate is a good balance for the community and the development.

Attended the meeting on 10/24 and I did not hear any plans for assisted living, long term care and senior independent living. Not just a hope that seniors would move in there, but something dedicated... Read more...

FoxRock seems to have abandoned any commitment to senior housing - just a vague "inter-generational" plan. There are many older Quincy residents holding on in much-too-big homes because there is no alternative... Read more...

I just saw a photo of the plan for Whitwell St. I was shocked. It looks like Foxrock is building it's own private city. Those plans are too big for that area. Why do you need 4 apartment buildings... Read more...

Scale of the project is too large for a residential neighborhood. It will generate additional traffic which this area of Quincy cannot handle.

Fox Rock has no experience that I know of in residential developments. In an already multi-generational, owner occupied neighborhood your scale of number of residents to acreage to this property is beyond... Read more...

What is going on Foxrock? You presented a very incomplete plan at the meeting at Central Middle School in July, then withdrew from the August Planning Board meeting stating that a more complete plan would... Read more...

For those of us who abut the parking lot on Roselin, we need a new privacy fence installed. The chain link one is old and falling down and with tons of construction and new people, it would be really important... Read more...

Hi Angela, thanks for the comment and good to know. Can you email me at cclem@foxrockproperties.com and we will find a time to come take a look and figure out a solution? Thanks!

I think they should have studied the traffic along Adams into East Milton Sq. A traffic study based on 2014 traffic patterns and ONLY including Whitwell itself is a joke. Start over.

six story buildings positioned at the edges of the site with a 25 ft .buffer between these buildings and neighboring properties is unacceptable.

We do not need retail space in a residential neighborhood. There is plenty of retail in Quincy Center.

I am a former employee of QMC and have a question. One of the buildings you plan to demolish contains what we called Founders Hall. It is a hallway outside of the cafeteria and contained many plaques... Read more...

Perhaps Stewart gave them to the Quincy Historical Society. Can you check and incorporate them into this historical site, the Adm Building?

How many units do you anticipate? How many bedrooms will be in each unit? How many parking spaces are going to be designated for each unit and where will they be? Where will overflow parking and guest... Read more...
