The Zoning Board of Appeals this week approved the replacement of Williams Tavern, 100 A St. and the Stadium Sports Bar, 232 Old Colony Ave., with the sort of fancy new housing that is rapidly taking over the neighborhood.
Williams Tavern and the adjoining My Diner will make way for a six-story, nine-unit condo building. At a board hearing on Tuesday, developer Michael Moor's attorney, David Murray, said they will be talking to the diner's owners about moving into the first-floor commercial space, although he said it looks like they might move elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The building will have room for 10 cars, with leased spaces for another 8 cars in a nearby garage.
The board also approved plans by developers Kris Meola and Ryan Sillery to tear down the shuttered Stadium to
and 29 parking spaces.
Also Tuesday, the board approved a developer's plan to replace a single-family house at 37 Mercer St. with a three-story, six-unit building with a 6-car garage.
