I emailed BTD asking for a status update. Received the following response this morning: "The City and MBTA are still negotiating and working on a lease for a portion of land that will make up the path. We hope to have more information soon." The project is thankfully not dead. Just...

Interestingly, most of the catenary poles still remain. The MBTA (or the City?) took many down on South Huntington, but they still litter the streetscape of Centre and South Streets. Rusting away.

Yeah, the City's 2000 Turnpike Report said that air rights should never be granted for Parcel 11, unfortunately. Linked is a snippet of Page 68.

I wonder if this is for some fancy stairway access for the penthouse condo to a roof deck?

Thank god this parcel is finally being proposed. The gas station parcel in particular is a dominant eye sore in the area given its prominent placement at the edge of Boylston. Too bad about no residential though.. The LOI does include both the gas station and the supermarket parcels. I know...

Wow! I had no idea they weighed that much.

The DPIR was just posted, dated November 12, 2021: https://bpda.app.box.com/s/he527e9h0vlozhjwo151f9g93o1pw20g That's the fastest turnaround I've seen. Developer must really be pushing. They compromised on the height and density. Height is down 55 feet to 279 feet. Square footage is down...

LOI filed for Parcel H!

Rise Together has acquired a number of properties in and around Sullivan Square. The proposed three phase development seems to include approximately 10 buildings, and according to Rise Together's website, 2,600,000 square feet of development. I believe One Mystic is part of this development...

A bit of a heated meeting with the Developer and the IAG focused on the proposed access road to 93. Reading (or listening) between the lines, this project has been delayed quite a bit due to politically maneuvering with the City, the State, and Feds, and with abutters- BU and BMC. The IAG was...

Demolition permit pulled yesterday for a substantial portion of the garage.

Big, big money for those parcels! It's directly adjacent to the new community path. I think this is the first proposal for the inner-inner-belt area (no connection to McGrath). Hopefully first of many. Edit: Fixed spelling

Thank you for submitting a comment regardless. This is a pretty significant developer on a large parcel and shouldn’t be able to skate through the Article 80 process without hearing from us. I think I called the design “horribly suburban” and advocated for increasing density, decreasing parking...

According to JDC Demolition's website:

Several state agencies just posted an RFP (or RFR technically) for legal representation in this case. Appears the Commonwealth's current law firm, Keegan Werlin, is getting the boot. My understanding is that there will be an appeal in this case. I have also heard, through informal channels...

New IMP uploaded last week shows one significant change: A proposed dedicated bicycle track running along Faulkner's boundary on Centre Street. This would be funded and built as part of the project, hopefully pushing DCR to adopt a similar cycle track to connect the Arborway after DCR finishes...

I'm in a different field now, but my old job provided me with some opportunities to interact with the guys who worked on these large projects. The culture is fascinating. They have all sorts of names for different trades and different things on the job site - only trade I can remember is...

Good stuff. The Silver Line station and connecting bridge are a nice touch. If this and 401 Congress move forward, the only remaining empty lots on Congress Street will be Seaport Square L5 and L6.

That is the 401 Congress site. Love the way that KPF design incorporated Exit 25 of the Pike...
