Does East Boston have noticeably more of these small 3-10 unit infill projects than other neighborhoods? Seems like a lot going in!

I think it is just the effect of astronomical real estate values. There is a tipping point where it becomes viable to fill in the gaps in the urban fabric. I have seen this cycle through neighborhoods. South End was first (with only a few gaps); South Boston was next with a lot of these small infill developments 5-10 years ago, now East Boston.

(Obviously also happening in other Boston area neighborhoods, but East Boston had/has a lot of urban fabric gaps.)

Top down view of the gap at 28-30 Swan Avenue, listed in @mssrro post, that became economically favorable to fill.

Speaking of gaps I cant believe that massive development along the abandoned rail ROW hasnt happened yet. That was really going to fix one of the major scars left in eastie. Hopefully soon.

What's the deal with Pier 1, where Tall Ship is currently located? Who even owns it?

It's the last chunk of developable property on that part of the waterfront, and I don't think I've ever read anything about any plans for it.
 
Ive been wondering the same thing. It was supposed to be I believe the second phase of portside at pier one, but then it just never happened and there hasnt been a peep in over a decade.


Heres an old rendering and article from 2012 in the herald, but theres really not much info

Ship comes in for Eastie

East Boston will get action on its underdeveloped waterfront this fall, as the Portside at Pier One project — in the works for more than a decade — appears poised to finally break ground. New Jersey developer Roseland Property Co. recently…

But at the same time the project is listed as complete on the site so not sure whats going on. Its a massport property so it appears theyre just holding on to it right now, not sure why.
