50-story Peninsula redevelopment plan controversy
Summary
A redevelopment plan for 301 and 300-302 Constitution Avenue allowing buildings up to 50 stories was withdrawn after residents said it skipped planning board review and raised unresolved traffic, water capacity, and affordable housing questions. The developer's attorney said the project includes a $3-4 million community contribution and a first-of-its-kind 5% workforce housing set-aside.

Impact analysis
A promised community contribution of roughly $3-4 million would fund parks, roads, or schools if the project proceeds.
If revived, the redeveloper and future Peninsula residents; the city would gain rateables and workforce housing units.
Current residents of the site's 538 existing units face eventual displacement, and neighbors fear more traffic congestion.
