You should speak to the District 1 city councilor, Lydia Edwards. She shares some of your opinions. I, however, don't. The Seaport is a success for what it was designed to be. We should be so lucky if Suffolk Downs turns out similar. Regarding rents: We have been lucky in that our rent has...

Perhaps coincidentally, 5 Channel Center sold today for $26 million. That's the six-storey building that was bought and rehabbed a few years back. Buyer is Westbrook Capital. Twitter person says the current tenant will be vacating soon? Fraunhofer? Not sure why they are leaving.

It here. It meaning the PNF for 1252-1270 Boylston Street, Scape Student Housing, or, The Ramrod dorms. http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/ddafd84a-d058-4a39-bb4f-a32fc1fcea9d

They're still building this???! hasn't it been like 3 years?

Related, the condo sales next door at 12-16 W Broadway seems to be slow with only ~14 of 42 units closing according to the Suffolk Deeds site. There was a gap of a couple of months before the three or so that closed this week so perhaps they're just not done with all the interiors but .. would...

Cities, or states/federal government? When you say "cities" funded them, you are contrasting that to today where private developers are called upon to fill the gap of public funding? PS. Related Beal built 100 Beverly 100% "affordable", of course, but only b/c the land was given away (being...

Their website is showing a start-date of June 30, 2019 availability but I'll re-up my prediction that this will never open.

I read that a Leggett McCall rep was the only person to show up in opposition to the proposal to put a recreational marijuana shop at 591 Albany St, arguing the location was in a "transitional" neighborhood. Probably just lip service; I can't see how that location would hurt anyone. Proposal...

Coming along but the top floor build out has seemed slower than usual to me (I can see it from my apt window). I did see a welder out there on a recent weeknight at 11 pm so .. something's happening lol.

I live in Boston so prefer it but would make the effort to get out to Assembly Sq to check it all out.

I'm having a hard time figuring this out in my brain so if anyone has some information .. please! Here's an image from Flickr circa mid-1950s. This is the elevated going in front of North Station (and in front of whatever that building was called on the right, not Manger, right?) facing...

From the City of Boston Archives Flickr page. Proposed but not built, waterfront edition. Several (mid-rise) towers that never got built, among other things. I couldn't see these anywhere on the forum so hopefully not dupes. Architectural model of waterfront district looking southwest by...

Perhaps shutting down Storrow Drive inbound but leaving outbound would be an alternative? Outbound can be used by commuters at rush hour. Having a green line extension seems somewhat logical and could benefit our transit system in multiple ways. Could it be used as a way to get from Kenmore...

Surely someone in Hollywood has proposed Meryl Streep as Jane Jacobs in an anti-Robert Moses movie, no? (Yes, she's 20+ years older than Jane Jacobs was in her prime, but they still look enough alike, no?)

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Great to see Bob Kraft in the news - here comes that new stadium proposal, for sure!

Re: New us masterplanned city. Didn't we have a master-planned "city" - the Seaport?

Good news is, I've yet to see this garage 1/3 full.
