That's quite the haircut and unit loss for Sofia Everett. This was supposed to be a 21-story addition to Everett. The financing hardship must be real.

CALLED IT 2 YEARS AGO! Assuming Rich Davey, Joanna Geraghty, and their respective teams at Massport & JetBlue are reading this: thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰

I'll always look on this project nostalgically as it marked a personal, professional milestone: thinking (and acting) outside the box to fund a federal aid project. A few months before this project was due to advertise for construction in July 2022, Boston MPO and MassDOT didn't actually have...

As an Everett resident and multimodal commuter, I invite you to sample the 7 MBTA bus routes and TMA shuttle bus services I can access within 2 blocks of my home. Or try the walk to Wellington orange line stop & Chelsea commuter rail stops that—though not physically within city boundaries—are...

No.

I'd love to see a hotel integrated into the stadium's Harborwalk-facing edge(s). Like most uses, Boston region has a dire shortage of hotel rooms, and an event space like this stadium (not to mention the casino across the street) will only increase demand for hotel nights north of the city. TD...

From April to September there are several dozen cruise vessels a month that start or end in ports near Anchorage, AK (Seward and Whittier principally). That's in addition to the ones that homeport in Seattle or Vancouver. They alone represent several thousand visitors daily that start or end...

Me? (lol) In all seriousness, it's funny you mention that. If you review the conditions/recommendations from the City's Planning office for the development team, the City of Everett is actually requiring a minimum of 400 street trees as part of the Everett Docklands site plan. This is in line...
