    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex They also mentioned axing the fitness center due to the "success" (whatever that means) of the existing center that opened last year on the first floor of the parking lot, so there may be some sq. footage left to play with.

    General Infrastructure

    Driving to/fro Worcester every day for the past three years has made me realize that the 495/Pike, 495/290, and 290/Pike on/off-ramps are woefully inadequate to deal with the increased truck traffic the area has seemingly seen since the CSX move. They are all simply too narrow and hilly to...

    Radian (Dainty Dot) | 120 Kingston Street | Chinatown

    It took the Kensington about a year to reach 80+ % tenancy, which included move-in incentives, so I wouldn't write this one off just yet.

    Households with children under the age of 18 only make up X% of the population (44% as of 2010 as compared to 48% in 2000 and purportedly continuing to shrink as a percentage).

    It's not necessarily the cost that is the issue per se, so much as the fact that NE developments must compete (inter)nationally for financing, meaning that yields/rates-of-return must be either financially competitive or the investments must be so surefire that investments funds use them to...

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    There is a rather large condo complex directly adjacent to it. It isn't tied into the retail development but I think it may(?) have been developed around the same time (Archstone legacy place).
