Understandably, since no one under 60 lived through the 1990-1995 office market crash as an active participant ("survivor"?), there's little discussion/awareness of it. But, since the City's Assessing page displays all office tower assessed values back to FY85, it's very easy to chart/graph this...

What do people think about the overall feasibility of the large surface lot immediately adjacent to the Citizens tower? It certainly checks the box for proximity. (Also, we already know there's a "motivated seller"--note the very large "6 Land Parcels" For Sale billboard.)

I myself have occasionally mused on what kind of profitable niche bldup could possibly occupy--who is in need of its, uh, "services"?

I have been there many many times. In terms of its "character"--pick your poison. You know what Newport's "character" was for many years after Nixon relocated the North Atlantic Fleet from there in 1973? Stagnation. Decay. Despair. Desolation. Emptiness. As the NYT reported: Rhode Island will...

Judge's ruling issued. TL;DR: "I'm not going to grant the Orpheum's request, though their claim of a traditional easement is very strong. Go home and settle this out of court as you should've done to begin with, thanks!" "Both parties in this case have a lot at stake. However, the evidence...

Great catch--of course the Globe would be sloppy and careless on such an otherwise key detail... obviously, ignore my prior statement! (Well, not the unemployment bit...)

Did you declare Opposite Day, and not notify the rest of us? ;) https://www.npr.org/2024/01/05/1222714145/jobs-report-december-labor-wages Also, it's worth reiterating what the Hasbro CEO said--that their HQ is in very degraded condition: Within the last year, Hasbro has consolidated its...

As garish and tacky as that use/tenant may be, given the context, without Chipotle and its lucrative lease, HBI is severely if not fatally crippled. Like their work on the Uphams Corner comfort station? Thank Chipotle. How about what they did restoring the Alvah Kittredge home? Again, courtesy...

Every single peer city to Boston in this country is experiencing identical/interchangeable issues and has been for some time. Why don't you go ask all of those big city mayors--NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC, Miami, Atlanta, SF, Portland, LA, etc. ad nauseum--why they "accept" the kind of...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/09/20/lifestyle/what-its-like-stay-new-citizenm-hotel-over-mass-pike/ To quote The Lizard King, "The cars hiss by my window/Like the waves down on the beach..." (Also, as sublime as that perspective of the Pike is, that shot also vividly captures just how...

Make that typically incoherent rant into an practical insight... take your time, we'll wait!

Ditto that; I just went to the site and there's been no changes and everything's still available as it was prior; all that's been done is they appended that modest disclaimer banner to the very top stating, "as of July 1, we are no longer the BPDA" (words to that effect)

Some North End entities she won't be appointing to the IAG once this thing gets formally proposed: 1.) him 2.) him 3.) him 4.) her

That one's easy: Sullivan's Tap II, III, IV, V, VI, VI, VII. The original is obviously a prefabricated shipping container inserted into the building envelope, so, plunking down the spin-offs onto said surface lots will be effortless...

The building on the right (127 Tremont) already was: https://www.themontyboston.com/ The building on the left (9 Hamilton) is right on the verge, with construction permits in-hand: https://www.rodearchitects.com/PROJECTS/7-hamilton-hotel

That goes without saying! I'll also remember to bring along a printout of the PNF for the 101 Tremont project, which I just happened to check.... and noticed that it states (Section 1.3; boldface/italics mine): "Once converted the building will include approximately 67,170-SF of dormitory...

Hey do you want to meet up at the Back Deck tonight? It's on West St., just a 3-minute walk from Beantown Pub. It's been there for a decades, a tenant of Suffolk University, at the base of Suffolk's 10 West St. dormitory. We can toast how spectacularly wrong you are! ;)

The City has been planning this for years if not decades--this presentation will be three years old in just a few days (and imagine how many months and years prior to it, the City was working on it, even allowing for any COVID-related interruptions)...

How's your flex capacitor working these days?: https://www.bldup.com/posts/south-station-tower-tops-off P.S. These guys have nearly 700,000 sf of office space to lease, as office vacancy rates edge above 27% in the CBD, and 23% overall in Boston (per Colliers 2Q 2024 Boston office market...

You should make a point of expressing your gratitude, in a lavishly-worded letter of commendation, to the CCC! [You know.... these guys. The paradigmatic exemplar of regulatory prowess, efficiency, and professionalism.]
