Rumors are flying that Airbus may be thinking about pulling the plug on the 380 aircraft.

I imagine that Buffalo could get a boost with US Airways pulling out. The B6 flights on this route seemed full when I flew it a few times in the past. On the international front, do you see Korean Air coming to Boston in the future? One of the more aggressive, "big" airlines in Asia...I'm...

Just love all of this service that's coming online-Boston and the nearby New England region is creating a nice 21st century economy-health care/biotech, academia, technology, financial/banking, tourism, all alongside your standard consumer goods companies that are are are trying to become global...

I laughed at that too. Reminds me of the debate over San Francisco. Interesting that Michael Mina is doing the food service. I wonder if he'll open a full-fledged restaurant here. Am I alone in thinking that they should done a hotel-condo residences approach here with a luxury chain to manage...

How much does the "Affordable Housing" requirement in new condo development drive up development and rental costs, if at all?

Thanks for that link. Lots of good stuff. I'm assuming they're keeping their Copley Place store as well. Interesting that Dolce & Gabbana are coming to town, finally. What used to be in that space? Didn't know about the Valentino renovations. It actually reopened last month. No expansion in...

Random question, but did anything ever go into the former Chanel space at the Taj Boston hotel on Newbury Street?

Ah, gotcha. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Will this project have a retail space element to it? I can see it being an attractive space for the high-end retail market.

What about the Ritz-Carlton and Liberty? Boston has nice 4-star chains like Fairmont, InterContinential, Taj, ec., but three true luxury hotels. I've always had a fantasy of a luxury hotel on the Common Side opposite of the Four Seasons...rebuild those properties into a St. Regis, Peninsula...

Will this impact the FS property on the Common/Garden? Will FS be able to be successful with both properties in one city (Boston is not NYC, LA, London, Tokyo, ect. in terms of market depth).

Are you saying these chains don't have Boston area outlets?!? (If so, they do have locations in Boston.)

Guess we'll agree to disagree. :) The newest luxury apartment tower, Raidan opened: http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/real_estate/2014/04/starting-at-3-000-a-month-radian-is-bostons-latest.html?page=all

If this were true, then they wouldn't be buying property all over the world to put their money into as a relatively conservative, safe asset. The question is, how does Boston figure out a way to find a balance between keeping rents low enough so it doesn't drive out the talented...

I can agree with this. I think at the higher-end of the market, where you have the financial resources and are looking to diversify your assets, buying a condo makes sense over renting. The rich usually pay cash or put down a big down payment at this end, and buy in excellent locations (a condo...

Okay, it's 13% of all households in the Boston metro area. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/america-richest-poorest-cities-165424993.html "5. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H. > Median household income: $71,738 > Population: 4,640,802 (10th highest) > Unemployment rate: 6.1% (68th lowest) >...

Thanks. I read a stat that nearly 20% of all households in the Boston region bring home $200k+, so I guess it adds up. With the tech and biotech/medical sectors taking off, I can see a lot of new wealth coming into the market. What's the standard rule for what percentage of one's paycheck they...

With the "luxury condo" article plus this, how do all these places command $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000/month in rent in the name of luxury? Not hating on them (I would love a place at 1330 Boylston if money was a fat cat) at all, but is there enough people pulling in that kind of money (I would...

Interesting. Is the travel between Boston/New England and Latin America just not there? Or is it a case of local flyers flying on Delta (Atlanta) and American Airlines (Miami) and their north-south hubs? Is the business connections between Boston/New England and Latin America growing each year?
