    The Parker Boston (nee LaGrange Tower) | 47-55 LaGrange St. | Downtown

    Something seems off on this building yet I can't figure out if it's a legit feeling or that maybe I'm just looking to start gossip. This was originally going to be apartments but became condos. When proposed, there was concern by Ray Flynn's son that it was going to be "executive suites", which...

    It might be gone. I thought the building at Berkeley and Columbus. Or the one in the North End at Atlantic and Commercial. Or is it easier.

    I know we can figure this out. Question on Dirty Old Boston. This is Amelia Earhart in Boston circa 1928. What building is in the background.

    70 Federal Street sells - 7-story Brutalist building

    70 Federal Street sold August 23rd for $41 million. It last sold in 2016 to Nuveen / TIAA for $38 million, which is a paper profit but after an investment of up to $5 million by Nuveen, perhaps not. Others probably know the history better than I but from what I found online, it was designed by...

    Seaport Transportation

    I don't know what's going on here. Anyone? This is unrelated to the plan to move the truck route along the same street?

    Shaughnessy and Ahern Company sold several parcels in South Boston to Oliver Street Capital. This appears to be the block bordered by Cypher St, D St, W 1st St, and C St.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    ::sigh:: Now I see it, too. I'm very confused. And, I haven't heard back from CCRTA customer service. But, yeah, it looks as though it's live and updating. <strike>Except the "Beaches" line doesn't seem to be updating, which is probably the one most-used in town lol.</strike> ::sigh::

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Halp! We don't have real-time bus trackers here on Cape Cod (CCRTA - https://capecodrta.org/) but I can't think of any reason why it *can't be built easily. I'm sure they've looked into it (I hope so?) but can't seem to find anything on it. Does anyone know if there's been work done on it? If...

    Church Park in the Fenway at 221 Massachusetts Avenue was sold on Monday for $439 million. It's a 508-unit apartment complex built in the cement Brutalist fashion. This is the first time this property has ever sold since being built in 1973. I was/am under the impression that the First Church...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    The deed I posted was only one piece of the puzzle so I apologize. It wasn't clear that the deal had been consummated since there was no deed with actual dollars filed yesterday or today. The "order of taking" apparently does the same thing. It's not clear how anyone knows how much was actually...

    Not sure why this was a transfer from the Food Market to .. the BRA? Is this a (non)- tax write-off? LMFAO

    I was pumping iron while you were pumping irony. Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Anyway, a great way to start your new job with the MBTA - $155 million more in debt!
