Filling out Freida Garcia Park across that pike trapezoid would certainly be preferable on that Clarendon-adjacent air rights parcel than a new development proposal.

Lucky for you there's a SLX Alternatives Analysis Virtual Public Meeting tomorrow evening (12/13) at 6pm. More info here. Your input matters.

Developers said something like an 18-24 month construction timeline from groundbreaking. So a realistic completion date could be Spring 2025.

This is not conjecture: the Everett Commercial Triangle's development pipeline is on pace to have the same level of housing density as the Fenway neighborhood before 2030. And between the clip of what's under construction and what's approved for development, Everett alone could see its...

The lion’s share of the site is in Everett. Literally the rear slice of the site is in Chelsea.

I caught these changes a month ago and was wondering how long it would be before they made it onto this thread. But, more surprisingly, I don't understand how/why Boston Globe, Boston Business Journal, and other journalists haven't caught this design change. This is the first instance made...

The following content is for information purposes only, as presented at public meetings. Yesterday evening the Everett ZBA gave final approval to The Sofia (380 2nd Street). Height: 239’ (21 stories) Gross Square Footage: 676k sq. ft. Units: 624 apartments (245 studios, 241 1-beds, and 138...

@DZH22 , here I am opening the thread you created thinking, “Oh, interesting: this should be a constructive conversation about the problems with bike share and ways to solve them.” And, instead, I found a fuss fest. First of all, the two ‘problems’ you listed with bike share aren’t bike share...

Annually.

I was in the neighborhood yesterday… and positively giddy at the transformation this development is having on the neighborhood. Air rights developments like these have a palpable effect on reconnecting communities from the scars of our interstate highway network. I really hope we can figure out...

It was both. From Nov. 2015:

Sure, but what a miserable journey from the terminals! The fact that the Strip is that close to the airport and there is not a reasonable transit, walk, or bike accommodation is absurd.

In a market like Westwood where the supply of transit-accessible, new construction, walkable home ownership opportunities is scant--and where single-family listings nearby are comparably priced north of $1M--I actually think that's an attractive price point. Maybe not for you or me, but I'm...

What happened to the Utile design?

The plan above says there will be shuttle bus service from Sullivan. I would not be surprised if there's water taxi/ferry service included in the scope. A more coordinated plan for ferry transport along the Mystic River is probably merited when you factor in all of the new development happening...

I like the facadectomy here. I really like the 18% income restricted housing proposed. I love the parking ratio to units (either 1:3 or 1:5 depending on where you read in PNF)! I snagged this photo from the PNF. As a NU alum, the principle thought crossing my mind is how beautiful the day will...

^^Is there a landscaping plan for Terminal E? I'm not sure how scrapping the people mover and garage impact short-term landscaping/tree coverage around the terminal, but hopeful there's enough real estate here to get some dense foliage.

I'm not sure what the agenda is of the producer of that video, but I think his thesis--"the US needs to privatize airports"--is a flawed one. While many airports in the US, to his point, have gone into debt and/or struggle to make ends meet, that's not the case for all of them. Pandemic...

The Empire State Building was constructed about as quickly... is it so unreasonable to expect the same of multi-family housing generation in the 21st century?

I can attempt to take a crack at this one (but please note I am by no means 'the authority' on State-level transportation planning). It's comprehensive, so bare with me... As I've mentioned in the past, I am the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Coordinator at MassDOT's Office of...
