Caterer in Porter, bank in Harvard

Planning Board, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Cuisine en Locale, the catering company of Once Somerville rock club owner JJ Gonson, seeks to reopen using the church kitchen of a four-story, 46-condo, mixed-use structure called Saint James Place built around St. James’s Episcopal Church, 1991 Massachusetts Ave., North Cambridge near Porter Square. The pandemic closed the catering business in March 2020, Gonson said. This would be the second commercial use for the building’s space after U.S. Army recruiters leased a 1,100-square-foot storefront last year. (There’s 800 square feet more of storefront available to lease facing the avenue.) “It has been difficult, bordering on impossible, to find a tenant for the space during the pandemic, so we feel lucky to find a solid tenant to activate this large empty storefront,” Acorn Holdings’ Phil Terzis said of the Army in February 2021.

The Abbot, a four-story block of retail, offices and restaurants at 1-30 Brattle St., Harvard Square, has an update around a Chase Bank branch designed to take up more than 25 linear feet along the JFK Street sidewalk – fine until passage of the Harvard Square Overlay District law, and now it is not. (Other tenants of The Abbot, due to open in the coming months: The Comedy Studio, back from Somerville’s Union Square; El Jefe’s Taqueria; a Tiger Sugar boba tea shop; a Starbucks; and a Central Rock Gym for climbing and F45 for high-intensity interval training. Also in Harvard Square, a continuation is asked until Aug. 30 by developers at The Crimson Galeria at 57 JFK St., next to historic Winthrop Park and home to restaurants such as Bonchon, The Maharaja, Shake Shack and a Veggie Grill, which plans to add 38 apartments for leases of at least an academic term – two units with two bedrooms, 22 with one and 14 studios – by adding three floors of height.

Watchable by Zoom video conferencing.
