This can't be correct. I was assured that this would be catastrophic and leave Mass (and Boston in particular) looking like Detroit. As mentioned earlier this month there are slugs of money going to the MBTA and schools for the most part, but tactically the state should pave a few key roads in...

Not great news for this project when it gets listed with your average residential real estate broker… https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/ma/boston/330-c-st/pid_64846398/

99 High was/is 78% per the article and 1 Lincoln was ~half empty per the Globe about a month ago. 99 High was recently renovated and I've heard from someone who works there that the amenities are pretty nice. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/11/business/boston-office-tower-auction/

Well I guess if there are no Republicans to fund he'll just give to the "moderate" like he did last turn. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/09/15/business/new-balance-chairman-jim-davis-his-495000-bet-annissa-essaibi-george/

Wait, you're in Dnipro...right now? If you're at liberty I'd be very curious to hear how it was getting in and out of country.

I think 2020 was super noisy and a lot of the urban exodus was either overstated or has reversed somewhat since peak pandemic. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all. Not that you're saying this, but there's a lot in the zeitgeist about urban areas and blue states shrinking with people leaving...

It's really the only solution left. If you want to see NIMBYs in action try to do anything on MVY or ACK. The number of anti-Vineyard Wind signs next to midwit lib yard signs is an interesting sight on the island. Any amount of new housing is a serious battle, and arguably there's a point given...

Man, whatever hemming and hawing people make about height or glass color or whatever, it's really iconic sitting on top of the historic South Station. Massive win in my opinion.

This honestly looks less bad than I would have guessed based on all of the headlines on this topic. A lot of quiet compliance (actual or conditional).

Looks like a pretty big park in the first renders next to Dot Ave on the bottom right of this image. Of course nothing here can be taken literally but all schematics show that as public space not for development. Agree a big open green waterfront park would be a killer addition.

I think you'd need to get the Army Corps of Engineers onboard since these are still classified as navigable coastal waterways. It's one of the hang up talking points whenever a bridge or other feature on the Channel gets mentioned. Changing the navigability would almost certainly require federal...

First time seeing a new train set live, this afternoon at south station. They look great but yeah the engine vs passenger car misalignment is noticeable.

Wait until you find the other summaries and supplemental filings! Traffic and shadow studies are a complete joke and should be capped at 3 page summaries.

First substantive filings for redevelopment of the Gillette site just hit BPDA! There's a lot in here, so I'm sure folks will be posting updates frequently, but here's the link to the filing https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/gillette-redevelopment-pda Mods, per search...

People from far flung areas who are scared to get out of their cars will call Wu a communist if one street is shut down in central Boston. So probably never. Or at least not until after the election.

New website for the building. Don't think it's been posted here yet. Promotional signs are wrapped around the worksite now, advertising all the trappings of what you might expect from a waterfront Seaport development. Not much of substance, but guessing the site and the associated Instagram...

This is new and...unexpected. Anyone else hear about this before? Looks like Fidelity is sponsoring the museum, which is appropriate. The article also notes that Fidelity is leasing its Summer St location next to South Station, which I hadn't heard before. I thought Commonwealth Pier was in...

This is looking really nice as it nears completion. Just a reminder that the developer bough a spec liquor license for $600k to attract a bar/restaurant tenant. So there should be a public facility of some kind once the building is complete. A nice way to get inside and check it out without...

Triple deckers are great in form and function and truly are part of the urban fabric. I've seen some really nice new construction ones on the stretch of Dorchester between Savin Hill and JFK that have modern doors and windows, forced air and central AC, and are probably a bit bigger than the...

I mean the real outcome is that no one will cover this and the list will grow and housing affordability will get worse. There’s no obligation that falls to a larger entity. The state doesn’t NEED to do anything. More affordable housing (through market or interventional means) is good, and if...
