Everett Triangle's approved, under construction, and recently completed project pipeline represents a housing increase from 2020 to 2030 that can house 10,000+ more residents. If proposals consistent with zoning move at the same speed as Greystar's developments, it could be as much as 15,000+...

LOL’ing at the rendering, not the story*. Why did someone go out of their way to deliberately butcher the 3D renderings of existing buildings in the photo? EXP, West Village, and ISEC—basically every NU building is deliberately cheapened in this rendering to make Wentworth’s addition to stand...

Instead, NU should temporarily move library activities to EXP as mitigation for a couple years while it rebuilds 'snell' library from the ground up. It may be the largest academic library in Boston proper, but it hasn't been large enough for the amount of students that use it for nearly 20...

As someone who not only worked as a transportation planner in NH for 2.5 years but has since coordinated the Massachusetts State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for the last 4 years at MassDOT, I feel professionally and personally compelled to acknowledge and confirm this entire...

Yeah... but it's Gatwick. At least JetBlue goes to LHR as well.

How timely: Boston Business Journal dropped an update at 12:40p today about the Lego Boston HQ.

Great find--looks like an exciting project if it comes to fruition! I wouldn't underestimate the safety improvement that comes with reframing the land (and air rights development in this case) abutting a roadway. People drive slower in an urban context, and this development supports further...

Yeah... same. Aside from living in a couple new construction residence halls at Northeastern University (man do they take great care of their properties!), the nicest rental apartment I lived in in Metro-Boston out of 7-8 places has been Modera Medford next to Wellington Station--a recently...

If an architecture student ever asked a doctor to explain Dissociative Identity Disorder in a language they may understand, a great place to start is probably this image. (beautiful photo @kz1000ps of a painfully-executed facade)

... and the rest of them from BBJ: Cronin Proposal Boston Global Investors Proposal:

Even so, I just think it makes more sense to concentrate the functions of the Charlestown MBTA Garage and Everett shops (bus and rail maintenance) at a centralized facility that the MBTA has not only said they'd like to construct a new Bus Maintenance Facility, but one that already has a rapid...

A savvy developer would've proposed a decked Bus Maintenance Facility large enough that MBTA could cease operations at the Charlestown and Everett maintenance facilities; preserve a 200' setback from the Malden & Mystic Rivers for wetland regeneration and recreation; construct 1000-2000 condos...

Yes, Maine and NH are benefiting from people leaving the Boston metro... although to be clear, Southern NH is not only the high growth area for that state but also technically knit with the Boston metro area... so it's not as though people are leaving the Boston metro area in that case, just...

I, too, love a waterpark and amusement park thrill ride as much as the next Roller Coaster Tycoon alum. However, the pragmatic adult I've matured into wants to point out the immediate concerns that arise with what you're proposing. The waterslides/waterpark would be a maintenance nightmare...

I think the writing is on the wall that North Station is destined to take the #1 busiest station by entry by January 2023. The opening of GLX stations in Somerville and Medford mid-December + NBA season home games + NHL season home games + improved OL headways (further reduction of slow zones)...

The Seaport has literally added more housing units (*including affordable housing units) than any neighborhood in Boston during the last 10 years except possibly for Downtown, Allston/Brighton, and East Boston. And despite the lack of cranes/highlights for housing in Mr. Kirsner's Globe article...
