Red Sox Buy Lansdowne Street Garage
The owners of the Red Sox spent $10.5 million for the garage property.
The Lansdowne Street garage could undergo some changes in the future, as the owners of the Red Sox bought the property last week for $10.5 million.

The former owner, John Rosenthal bought the garage in 1993 for $2.5 million, then planning to redevelop the property. But Rosenthal faced opposition from the Red Sox owners, and instead changed his Fenway Center projects to other areas of the neighborhood. Construction has already begun on those development projects.
