I'm a NE resident as well, and while I agree that a new grocery store would be great at that location, you can still get pretty much everything you need at the Golden Goose on Commercial, so you can do it by walking. Otherwise, in order to get a lot of groceries, you'll have to drive (Zipcar...

Re: Fan Pier It is a shame that the city cannot recreate a neighborhood similar to the North End, South End, and Back Bay in the Fan Pier area. The driving force is density and height. The land prices have become too expensive for a developer to come in and create a neighborhood, instead of...

Re: Filene's I don't think that is an accurate comparison. The contractor does not put their money at risk as Hynes has done. If the contractor spent all the money then walked away, what would you care? Like you said, just hire another contractor and have him get started. But, most likely...

Re: Filene's Well it is a lot easier than building the building, which doesn't look promising right now I don't know. I'm sure if he is they can sue the LLC that was created to develop the project.

Re: Filene's Ron, do you honestly expect that Hynes would sell all of his other real estate to to finance this dog of a project? If the economics of the deal were so great, then getting financing (either new equity or loans) would be easy. If you made one bad real estate deal, would you sell...

Re: Filene's Okay, so we have a hole in the middle of the city...so what? Fill it in, have Hynes pay for it, and create a small park. That is worst case scenario. Hynes loses his equity, the city gets a new park. Granted, is that ideal? No. But in this economic environment, that isn't a...

Re: Filene's Hynes was in this project to make money, plain and simple, as most developers are. He's not doing charity development work. He took a risk with whatever he's invested so far, and it isn't working out, so its on him. But he can also walk away from that investment if he wants to...

Re: 45 Province St Does anyone know when this is expected to be open? Also, how have then done in pre-sales and what timeframe are they expecting to sell out the 150 units (if that is still the total)?

Thanks! I thought there was a conspiracy for a minute!

Why did someone delete the SouthField thread and place my latest post in this thread instead? Whats going on????

Some more recent news about the movie studio going here, as well as news on the state funded parkway cutting across the property: http://cbs4boston.com/video/?id=61918@wbz.dayport.com http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/04/27/governor_names_former_air_base_a_growth_district/

I think we all know that it comes down to money that determines whether projects get built or not. Either higher costs or lower revenue assumptions have stalled this.

Getting back to this proposed development on the existing parking lot, I think the more parking the better. I live in the neighborhood, very close to this site, but rent a spot in the Haymarket Garage on a monthly basis, and try to street-park whenever possible (which surprisingly is very...

I don't think so. From what I've heard it'll be more of a section of Weymouth. Not sure if they are going to try and carve it out as its own municipality.

Progress being made on this project. Some photos on the website showing a few good pics... http://southfield.com/ConstructionUpdate.aspx

Pigs will fly before they put a logo or name on a tower, let alone put their name on a listing in the lobby showing what floors they occupy. Kind of like The Firm, but without the illegal activity :)

Wellington is a very well-known Institutional Investment company in money management circles. They are a private partnership, manage over $550 billion, but do not advertise their services, so that is why many individuals don't know about them. They have probably around 1,500+ employees in...

The Bruins are a prime example of how success does not linearly translate into value.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer-specific_stadium Estimated difference in price between Red Bull Park and Columbus Crew Stadium is $191.5 million. That is a large chunk of extra change to spend on an MLS team
