Davis Square Plaza, the primary entrance to Davis Square from the Day St. parking lot, currently lacks storefronts, its previous seating/tables, ramp access from the parking lot, or general atmosphere.ย Asana previously expressed intent to renovate that part of Davis Square, and we would love to work with them to move forward with a plan to restore it to a vibrant gathering space and welcoming home for local businesses.
Davis Square Plaza is currently home to Boston Tattoo Company, Chipotle, and Wild Child Chocolate (Sunday/Wednesday/Thursday).
Until recently, it was also home to Belle Nail Studio (closed), Davis Square Family Practice (relocated to Elm St.), LBC Boutique (closed), Lumar-J Hair Salon (relocated to College Ave.), Sava's Shoe Repair (closed), Starbucks (closed its local location), and Sugidama (relocated to Elm St.).
Asana Partners announced its โ7th Spokeโ project to redevelop Davis Square Plaza and the adjacent buildings.ย (๐)
