IHOP in Brighton Could Be Torn Down to Make Way for an Affordable Housing/Life-Sciences Development

It looks like one of the only 24/7 dining spots in Boston could be going away.

According to an article from Universal Hub, a developer has submitted a proposal to build an affordable housing/life-sciences complex with retail space on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton which would be at the site of a location of IHOP along with a former motel, a car dealership, and an HVAC contractor. If approved and the IHOP is demolished, that would apparently leave only one remaining 24/7 restaurant for sit-down dining in the entire city--the South Steet Diner in the Leather District.

Several other locations of IHOP can be found in the Greater Boston area, including one in Revere that is open 24 hours.

The address for IHOP in Brighton is 1850 Soldiers Field Road, Brighton, MA, 02135. The website for the chain can be found at https://www.ihop.com/
