Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Yeah what a good idea....

Looks good, but why do they need to have that weird area of the brick plaza blocked off with bollards. Why not extend the dinning areas half way into that plaza with the rest being a pedestrian plaza only. I know that exists now as a weird driveway sort of thing but I have no idea why it needs...

There are two office buildings that could be candidates, but I don't think those would be acceptable, both from a federal government building security standpoint and IIRC because the Volpe center has labs that they can roll cars into to conduct tests. The current design of those buildings as...

Because it's too short? You'd have to extend it up to match the payless building.

Trying to get back on subject, I think the only way to preserve the payless façade and have it look appealing would be to build a new façade in the same style down Washington and Bromfield in both directions. Not sure how viable that would be or how good it would look.

Because of all the highway ramps it's actually quite far from any potential building, at least 250 ft. Also this area already has traffic noise from the highway and helicopter noise from being the main southern route into the city. Adding a landing pad there wouldn't really increase the noise...

So cool, hopefully they get a archaeology crew down there quickly and it doesn't stop construction for too long.

Did no one but me actually read the article?

So not quite logan but Cape Air is investigating doing seaplane routes between NYC and Boston https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/05/08/need-get-nyc-fast-soon-you-may-able-hop-seaplane-boston/Fwvr73nduvSee8G4FjFjQL/story.html

Going to be open 7 days a week now http://www.universalhub.com/2016/boston-public-market-goes-seven-day-operation-july

Exactly, it's not clogged because of the people living there. If anything the streets could use a bit more clogging in the non-commuting times.

If you look at the BCDC presentation the parking entrance (car elevators) is on province ct, but there is actually a new driveway that goes all the way from Bromfield to province ct. Basically they can pull in to the driveway from bromfield and the valet can drive through to province ct to the...

Re: Pier 4 Commercial-Condo Building (Former Anthony's site) | Seaport Some more renders and a video I found on the site http://392d57793897b676a4e3-6fdc34070d5ea9fcb3a0f811549549a3.r11.cf5.rackcdn.com/pier-4.updated.2.mp4

Looks good, finally some good dense development goes up that really utilizes a small space well and doesn't feel the need to shoehorn parking in where it really isn't needed. And they are keeping the existing facade! EDIT: So at second glance, I don't know how the rendered tower matches the...

I swear it's almost like they didn't clad the east side of the garage so they could say they gave into BDC commission demands later on.

The residential tower and hotel are a go this round along with the podium right? The office building is still up in the air for the next phase?

Is there such a thing as a vacancy tax, basically if landlords refuse to lower rents to match actual market demand they pay an additional property tax. Probably in only certain central districts and only if it's been vacant for a certain amount of time.

So according to this new tool MP put up there are 6 penthouses left and 16 "grand residences" left http://mtboston.com/remaining-homes/#/?type=Penthouse%20Collection&direction=Boston-Common-Charles-River

If we aren't going the extend late night service we should start extending hours past 2 AM. If you stagger closing times you reduce violent incidents and the surge load on taxi/uber cars. Staggered closing times therefore would help people actually be able to get a ride home, and increase the...
