BOSTON --- The BRA recently approved a request by the owners of the Archstone Boston Common apartment building to change the designation of 16 affordable apartments from 120 to 100 percent of the area median income (AMI), which is $85,800 for a household of four. According to BRA spokesperson Jessica Shumaker, the owners requested the change after unsuccessfully trying to fill all of the units at the 120 AMI price point. In total, 46 units in the Archstone complex are designated as affordable.
