Plans filed for 69-room hotel in West Roxbury

Plans have been filed with the city for a 69-room hotel — the King David Hotel — in West Roxbury.

Builder Nissim Trabelsi is proposing a four-story limestone and brick hotel with a restaurant and bar, ballroom, indoor pool and exercise room on a three-acre site at 1625 VFW Parkway.

"We intend this location to serve as a model first hotel in a national hotel chain," Trabelsi said in documents submitted to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, noting King David Hotels Corp. plans a public offering to raise $10 million.

Adidas, BAA, and Marathon Sports team up for RunBase museum, store on Boylston St.

Adidas and the Boston Athletic Association are collaborating with Marathon Sports to open RunBase — a store and museum that will sell running shoes and clothing and celebrate the Boston Marathon.

The 2,000-square-foot store at 855 Boylston St., at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, will be an "epicenter" for running, according to the companies and BAA, which organizes the marathon. It's slated to open this month.

The year-round RunBase will sell Adidas footwear and seasonal and official Boston Marathon merchandise and sport inspirational displays with items from the BAA archives. Hosted events will include community runs, expert speakers, visits from elite athletes, training plan assistance and nutrition education. A special treadmill will allow customers to run any part of the marathon route with simulated visuals and terrain, and runners also will be able to use RunBase's changing room, lockers and showers.

Revere mayor: Probe MBTA-Wynn land sale

The mayor of Revere is asking the state inspector general and the attorney general to investigate the sale of MBTA land to a subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, which is seeking to build a casino in Everett.

Gov. Charlie Baker said yesterday his administration is looking into the issue, while a Wynn spokesman declined comment.

In a letter Wednesday to Inspector General Glenn Cunha, Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo said the MBTA and Wynn knowingly closed on the land transaction before the completion of a review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). Rizzo sent a similar letter yesterday to Attorney General Maura Healey.

Rizzo wrote that the MEPA office has confirmed the MBTA's conveyance of the land to Wynn was "illegal."

On March 3, Wynn Resorts reported it closed on a $6 million purchase of 1.75 acres of MBTA land next to the site of its $1.6 billion casino.
