It won't be cheap. Cheapest available 2 at 500 Ocean, which is across the street from Wonderland, is $3375 currently. Figure rent at these new apartments will be more than that. For that kind of coin, presumably you are talking about shacking up which is doable with the Blue Line.

I was surprised to learn today that there is currently a concert venue at Suffolk Downs. Has anyone been? https://www.stageatsuffolkdowns.com/venue-info/. I'm considering seeing King Gizzard there but... yeesh, I've never seen a concert venue with so many negative google reviews. Complaints about visibility, poor lighting, unsafe crowding at the gates, and a 45 minute walk from the show to the T.
Looking at the master plan, there doesn't seem to be anything about a stage, so I guess this is just a way to make some money in the interim?

Well that's just complete nonsense. It's a 6 minute walk from the T to the area marked as the entrance in that facility map.

Looks like they stopped excavation/construction on the lab building at 100 Salt Street.
I haven't personally been, but a friend went and had those exact complaints. It's definitely a temporary stage for a few extra hundred thousand in the meantime. They showed up and were confused where they were supposed to go (turns out - just stand in the mud), then they couldn't really see the performance, and then leaving, there are no directions given or any staff to direct people, just a few thousand people guessing and going out one set of tiny gates. Apparently it's also easy to get lost leaving because they have temporary fences up that mislead a few hundred down the wrong dead-end path.

That's only halfway to the stage, and the comment also mentioned crowding and poor signage, which could bring it to 30 minutes. Add in a standard 50% exaggeration factor and I see how they got 45.

Is this the same building that you see from the airplane view above? The Turquoise green looks much darker and better from the plane. I wish this FIRST residential building that will anchor the development had the same quality as the one in the Fenway. Anyway, it sure seems to look better from above! LOL
