This was approved this week by BPDA: https://www.bldup.com/projects/new-john-hancock-tower I am disappointed this wasn't modified to be > 40 stories mixed-use, but this is a very stalled proposal to begin with IIRC

I am curious did you have an inside source for this? Cant find the news on this anywhere

I agree the naming of it is confusing unless you look it up. The price tag sounded too low for an extremely difficult extension to SPG so I double checked when I saw that. This was originally planned back in around 2009 or 2011. In my opinion as a former UMass student and familiar with the...

Oh thanks for the update! Awesome news. I had a good time there in the fall of 2020 when it was outside-only.

Thank you for the response. Yes, I am not employed in the space but appreciate new development as a hobby rather. I am very interested in learning a lot more about thus though. Thank you for sharing your interesting info/insight - really cool!

Are the plans for the Hynes Boylston entrance reopening still tied to that parcel's building project? Should be a while on that one in that case, lol...

I am not sure where to post something like this. Maybe we could start another thread called "soon to be redeveloped" or "what is this building"? Kind of like the "what's left to build on" thread. Or maybe this could go in the urban blight thread. I have this question about a lot of buildings as...

Some more moving of dirt going on. Should see some real progress and crews starting this late spring?

Lord Hobo looks like it should open within 1-2 months. Perhaps in time for summer business in their beer garden outside they had for a brief stint in 2020 before the owner was replaced.

Seems like a fairly controversial waste of land near a very valuable and essential area of the city. Oh well. Are things like this ever hot-button issues from a political standpoint? Like the thought of a city politician negotiating or pushing the owners of these properties? Or would a developer...

Are there any plans for either of these three parcels? The one that appears to be a US Army empty parking lot is something that is in dire need because of the condition, the ugly frontage to Summer St, and the potential connection between Dry Dock Ave redevelopment and Omni/convention center...

Mass Eye and Ear 11th floor 🙂

Shaping of the glass and metallic trim looks great from these angles.

From very afar! The height is starting to fit into the background of the Cambridge skyline 😀

Cladding is moving right on up

It was difficult to find this on BPDA, but according to Skyscraperpage: office/lab is going to be 20 and the CitizenM will be 13.

Wow this is spot-on! Thanks for sharing this document. I assume we shouldn't have more than a couple of years until proposals for this and adjacent sites start forming

How much longer will this spot stay? This is such a prime parking lot that could be changed into a garage with something above it. Would it face North End opposition?

This is tangential - as this corner is forever changed: does anyone foresee the Dunkin Donuts selling its property here and maybe moving into the ground floor of a new development? It would probably be smart of them if offered. A Dunkins with a parking lot almost doesn't fit in in this area...
