A neighborhood-scale proposal
The account described a letter of intent by WS Development, Fenway Sports Group and the D’Angelo interests for approximately 2.1 million square feet in eight buildings around Fenway Park. It discussed 13 properties over roughly eight acres.
The mix contemplated residential, office, laboratory, restaurant and retail uses. Pedestrian connections and public spaces were important parts of the proposal, not evidence that construction or every approval had been completed.
The thirteen properties described
The listed addresses distinguish the proposal’s parcels from other Fenway development projects.

Streets, venues and public space
Jersey Street, Richard B. Ross Way and Arthur’s Way appeared in the discussion of pedestrian connections. The House of Blues and Lansdowne Pub were mentioned as neighborhood venues in the earlier account.
A proposal to improve access between existing venues and new uses does not establish current event schedules, business operations or public-access arrangements.
Separate air-rights and development questions
The article also discussed Parcel 8 and a separate Fenway Center air-rights project associated with IQHQ, Meredith and MassDOT. Those plans should not be merged with the thirteen-address roster above.
For a purchase or premises inquiry around Fenway, identify the exact address and intended residential or commercial use. Ask about current space and project status, while leaving development feasibility and approvals to property-specific review.
