Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo is asking a judge to put a 1986 apartment tower overlooking Revere Beach into receivership, whose landlord has allegedly failed to help its tenants relocate after a high-profile fire.
A Chelsea multifamily developer plans to redevelop a former Revere nursing home as condos targeting the first-time homebuyer market following a $4.5 million acquisition.
In recent years, Revere has seen the construction of thousands of new apartment units and the opening of new hotels, restaurants and shops. But the activity has been so intense and rapid that many are concerned that it may one day squeeze out many of its largely immigrant and working-class residents.
