^^We've done so many mid rises in 10-20 stories. It appears we've reached a bend in the road on the higher end of rental units.
Look at all the luxury housing from Duxbury to Newburyport, From Westford to Taunton, we haven't built much in the last 2 decades. Garden Garage, 40 Trinity, ect, etc, have gone quiet. But, reading posts from 7 or 8 years ago, we see a good number of 'doubtfuls' now up. With the lack of luxury we're adding outside rt128, i wonder if we'll ever satisfy all parts of the luxury housing market without completing some tall towers. Guess we all wonder how many will get done.
i thought Millennium Partners might be one of the developers working on (Columbus Ctr). No. They looked at it and passed. they "...never liked the parcel, don't like the politics... and getting tax breaks is a public relations nightmare. The decking is insanely expensive. It's nearly impossible to make it work...."
sigh.
