Yes, however the city is going to put a huge mural of a penis on at least one of those walls.
Menino: Developers will replace AvalonBay at Seaport Square
Boston Business Journal by Thomas Grillo, Real Estate Editor
Date: Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 1:30pm EDT
Mayor Thomas M. Menino says he confident a new developer will emerge to replace AvalonBay at Seaport Square.
One day after the Boston Business Journal reported AvalonBay Communities (NYSE: AVB) wants to drop plans for two residential towers in the Hub’s emerging Seaport District, Mayor Thomas M. Menino said he’s confident a replacement developer will emerge.
“The whole South Boston waterfront is an area developers want to invest in,” Menino said. “We’ll find other folks who see the potential in Seaport Square.”
AvalonBay, the Arlington, Va.-based real estate investment trust with offices in Boston, had a partnership that includes developer John Hynes’ Boston Global Investors, Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley
Follow this company (NYSE: MS) and WS Development to construct 750 apartments and four stories of retail across from the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse. But all bets are off now and several sources say Avalon wants out .
Jonathan Davis, CEO and founder of the Davis Cos., a Boston company with a track record of commercial, residential, retail, office, medical and mixed-use projects, said getting a new development team at Seaport Square is a matter of timing. “The Seaport area is hot and it will get hotter,” he said. “It’s just a matter of when.”
Seaport Square, a proposed 23-acre mixed-use sustainable neighborhood, would contain 6.3 million square feet of residential, retail, office, hotel, innovation, civic and cultural uses. Earlier this year, construction began on the Boston Innovation Center that will allow for small firms to generate ideas and mingle with larger companies that have the access to capital and the ability to grow those ideas
^^I don't think Riff makes it out of Belmont much so leave the poor guy alone. It's too bad he has a thing against John Hynes - after all, it was VNO who pulled the plug, and John is building the new park and innovation thing at Seaport Square, which can't be cheap, especially before he's started any actual buildings to pay off the costs of those public amenities....
I like that Rifle is now blaming Hynes for a BID getting implemented too.
For the 100th time - local property owners vote on BIDs. They're not imposed by the Ministry of Plenty.

#4 Would not be caught down this area after 8PM
^ (and no - Fallon didn't get the TIF, Vertex did).
You should blame Vornado for the hole in DTX...they owned it, right?
You chose poor wording here. It's not about being "caught" in the area. It's really not that dangerous at 8, or 9, or 10, or even a little after that. I have walked through alone plenty of times and never felt threatened. It's more that there's just no real reason to be there, other than the scattered bar or theater.
There are alot of Junkies roaming around in the area. I would stay away.......It might not be as dangerous as I write in my blogs. But when their are drug addicts roaming the area without jobs mooching for money nothing good can come from people that are in desperation mode late at night.
I don't know why the taxpayers of Massachusetts should subsidize the cost of attending a community college to the amount of $6,500-7,000 per student per 30 credit hour academic year.

The real truth to what is going on is Obama, Deval Patrick & the democrats are trying to hold onto this state at all costs. They have dumped a fortune in taxpayers money in the Innovation district and will continue to promote job growth in mass. Like the Casino deal. Its one giant scam on the taxpayers and the private industry
