    Lexington Small Developments

    Happened to drive by this the other day on Bedford Road in Lexington. Though it’s not far from 128, it is definitely the largest-scale building around. Slated to open in the fall, this “purpose-built life science building” will be 310k square-feet over six stories with 750 (!) parking spaces...

    Some updates on a few Lowell projects — A small but well executed revitalization of a block of historic buildings along the Upper Pawtucket Canal The Lowell High School project ( after considerable debate, Lowell decided to renovate the high school in the downtown area) Acre Crossing...

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    I think anyone who’s used the original ‘Silver Lines’ has a right to be heavily suspect of yet another Silver Line extension. I lived off Washington in the South End for a while. It had a bus line the MBTA markets as a rapid transit line — it is no such thing. The bus lanes mostly function as...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I realize the barriers, but it would definitely be a shame to lose all of these buildings. There’s the foundations for an awesome adaptive reuse project. Cool renovation of a power plant down in Savannah that opened a couple years back below. The hotel is stunning. You can’t recreate this stuff...

    Everett Infill and Small Developments

    The Artemes (396 residential units) under construction on Norman Street & Air Force Road near Night Shift Brewing and just a stone’s throw from the Northern Strand Trail. The scale of this is impressive. Daylight shots are right from the bike trail —

    The New Retail Thread

    The New Retail Thread

    This map is highly suspect. White Mountain National Forrest makes up like 1/8 of the land area in New Hampshire. It is not the same thing as Faneuil Hall. And Faneuil Hall is not the same as a single building like the B&J's Factory or the LLBean Flagship Store

    The New Retail Thread

    Streets linking Washington to Tremont/Common seem like low hanging fruit for infrastructure improvement -- West Street Winter Street is a little better but room for improvement The rest show some of the challenges from Quincy Market area --

    The New Retail Thread

    I snapped a few photos of the street-level environment of Downtown Crossing and Faneuil Hall over the weekend and have attached photos here along with some general observations. All in all, I think we are holding our own. I was surprised that the vacancies were maybe even more perceptible than...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    3-3-2024 - The glass has a noticeably more greenish/brownish hue than the surrounding new builds, although this effect may have been slightly amplified by the overcast conditions
