Winthrop’s around 50% with a third of the condos sold. SST’s at 13% at the moment.

With the proximity to Granby, Arundel and Maitland Streets I’d assume another name taken from the British peerage along the lines of the others you’ve outlined. The titles Marquess of Granby, Marquess of Blandford and Earl of Arundel are subsidiary titles of the Dukes of Rutland, Marlborough...

The garage is a block from the rest of the Dana-Farber complex and not to state what should be really obvious but parking is kind of a necessary evil for hospitals.

Guess we need a few good old fashioned ship wrecks to go along with the plane crashes. https://uscg-marker-removals.webflow.io/

Has anyone actually signed a lease? The fact that it made it into the news like this isn’t promising.

How about Kohler, American Standard and Armitage Shanks? Those buckets are going to look hideous.

Hardly evidence free. The average size of housing units here and in Japan more than confirms a preference for dramatically larger spaces and this is further reinforced by the almost non-existent adoption of micro-units even in dense major cities in the US. For “practically free” though people...

And what is the average square footage of a unit in Tokyo? Seems a bit disingenuous to harp on how they do things there when the vast majority of Americans would never tolerate those living conditions.

1800 housing units is a huge number. In the context of 30 acres - less than 1/20 of a square mile - 2700 residents would extrapolate to a population density of 54,000 per square mile.

I personally wouldn’t go that far and I doubt the vast majority of Boston residents would want to either but there’s a happy medium that needs to be established.

I’m no YIMBY but the fact that a single filing, and one that’s still highly conceptual, needed to be 1365 pages is utterly insane.

It’s a discussion forum. Sometimes there’s an actual dialogue beyond folks just mindlessly clicking the like button for a picture barely distinguishable from the last one.

It might be an extravagance for someone really traveling on the cheap or staying with friends/family but in the context of a mid-range weeklong vacation for a couple or a family it’s equivalent to at most 3-5% of the total tab. It’s also not as if any transportation option is completely free or...

Not to restate the obvious but it’s low income/senior housing. They were undoubtedly on a tight budget and I’m sure if they had spent a bunch of money on what amounts to cosmetics a far more vocal contingent would have crawled out of the woodwork to call them out. Go to New York some time and...

The number of total rooms would be the more accurate metric but you still can’t make much of a comparison without exploring other factors that might make the area around one particular airport a more robust hotel market than another like business activity, local population density and...
