Not gonna lie, seeing the old pilings gives me a bit of a chill of excitement.

Closings have begun! (Did I already mention this?)

FINAL COMMENT I PROMISE: the agreement filed with the deed also seems to restrict what RBCS can build on the site. "Purchaser acknowledges that the Gillette Property is to be used only for industrial or commercial use ..." unless the Seller (Gillette) agrees, or doesn't disagree, from at least...

No, but thank you for making me check the numbers on what's there now vs. possible. I can't imagine that much parking b/c it's on top of the tunnel, as mentioned. Regarding the market, I think because of whom the buyer is (Related-Beal) and where the project is located (prime real estate), the...

There are a few neighbors and they have been vocal, a long time ago (YR 1999 & 2000) and now, including some on this board. The homeowners down A Street at the Channel Center have raised a ruckus before, when the Indycar race was under consideration and, for better or worse, there are...

Lol. According to the agreement filed with the deed, the buyer (Related-Beal) will have abide by a previously-approved agreement that Gillette or GE agreed to, to have 0.7 parking spaces per 1,000-square feet of commercial/industrial/cultural space and 1.0 parking spaces per residential unit...

I saw a deed was recorded today for the parcels at 358-366 Hanover Street, in the North End. This is a five/six-story apartment building facing the Paul Revere Mall and a one-story retail/office shop next-door. The shop is new (during past 100 years) because on either side the buildings' walls...

I was curious how many new workers would be in that area at full build-out. 1,000,000 square feet @175 square feet/employee (found it on the internet) = 5,715 employees How many were going into the GE buildings? 800? These would all be new employees. That's a lot of additional traffic on A...

Closings have begun.

What's the problem? There are ~1,000 beds in the existing dorms and there will be ~1,100 beds in the new dorm. I don't understand your sentence - what do you mean about affordable housing? The way I've always felt about housing is, college kids are adults, over the age of 18. They are people...

There's been some conversation in the past, if I remember. The ownership is mixed up between a couple different people, I think? My concern, as a developer, would be ground mitigation (sounds like an incorrect term) if they did residential, but maybe that's an easy fix? PS. From what I can...

Lol until your comment I thought you were someone else. Have we met?

Sorry, that was a "drive-by" comment without any context. I just feel as though there have been so many attempts to build there and delays, delays, delays, so I'm just pessimistic.

Nothing will be built on Haymarket parcel ever during our lifetimes or those of our great-grandchildren.

.. What?

Blowing my own horn, I tweeted about this a day before B&T got around to putting up their article, plus several others that beat what you read in the papers. http://www.twitter.com/bostonhbd

I can say stuff here I can't otherwise b/c you all love me. I wouldn't want to be too critical about this project for obvious reasons but man, when you see it in person you'll think, "What kind of park is this?" The huge (wo)man-made hill, the sailboat, the endless circular walkways. It seems ...

can confirm; was there monday night.

Is this an office building or an airport hanger waiting area?

I think you're talking about SF and NYC with your comment about filthy streets and mediocre schools, but about Boston, the reason you don't see the property tax revenue having any sort of effect is that the money raised on new construction is an ink spot in the city's annual budget. The city...
