"Short bus cousins"... yikes. Anyways as a corporate neighbor, this is great. The existing parking garage use is really exhausting to live with especially with Raffles going in. I think this will be a nice cluster of buildings when it is all said and done, the City isn't a museum and doesn't...

From the cheapest of seats here but it would have been nice to see the partial pedestrianization of that section of Dartmouth Street to create a strong common between BPL and Copley. Understanding that this is a strong and important vehicular node in the City but could have gotten away with a...

Veto RE: this opinion

Why not? This is a massive industrial zone that is all being redeveloped with dense, tall, and varied buildings. Andrew Square and Southie have a massive young (and outgoing) population in direct proximity that are sure to pump a lot of life into that area. Even the rehab of the existing Iron...

Suburban multifamily rent growth has outpaced urban multifamily rent growth. In many cases, absorption is faster in the burbs. There is a tremendous amount of demand.

I think this is squarely a product of land use issues in Greater Boston. The concept of residential construction (beyond a few token projects) can be taken off the table in 95% of Greater Boston communities. In the communities you are left with that will selectively embrace residential (Boston...

This project was approved unanimously last night.

The 36 acres is an assemblage of multiple parcels including 12 acres on Mooney Street and the BB&N parcels.

What evidence do you have that this was sold to Healthpeak?

I think the resounding point here is more so that, we are in the throes of a major housing crisis, and we shouldn't be sacrificing the ability to build dense, tall, housing because neighbors are uncomfortable. I'm a 1,000ft abutter, would have loved to see this go to the zoning height. Also, I...

God bless Tom English for not selling

Getting below 80% AMI is a win IMO.

-1,970 units -4,395,600 SF of lab/office -165,000 SF of retail -building heights varying from 110'-338' -15.4 acres of new open space -6.3 acres of new infrastructure (roadways) -15% affordable at 70% AMI -$57,900,000 affordable housing fund commitment ($13.00/Commercial SF) -$10,000,000 home...

This site as entitled is on the market for $25M. In reviewing the permits, R&D is expressly not allowed. The site is entitled for a niche product prototyping use but does not include any BSL entitlements. At $287/SF for the land, this won't get built as entitled.

Essaibi-George is reliably pro-development and more importantly pro-density. Having landmark projects like the Harbor Tower are critical for the capital markets to be excited about investing in a city and having a strong pro-development government to back these projects is necessary for the...
