Marty's Renovation

Marty’s is a Newton landmark known for its diverse selection of outstanding wines and gourmet specialty foods from around the world. This reconstruction of the storefront and renovation of the interior will breathe new life into the environment for shopping there. To be completed in several phases allowing continuous operation, the need for expansion required a prolonged effort to obtain the necessary permission from the city. We helped Marty attain the City’s Zoning Department special permit approval through hearings and committee working sessions.
