Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex The other two things it had going for it was that they used the footprint for the most part of the warehouse that was on the site, so limited project review and construction delays in a time when defensive leasing was rampant and the Level 3 cable...

Market Basket running out of money? Ha! They just paid $4,500,000 for a site in Littleton and are progressing in Waltham. Market Basket is killing Shaw's. I'm shocked the store in Cedarville (Plymouth) is still open. MB has forced S&S out in New Hampshire and is beating Wal-Mart at its own...

Off thread, I know, but remember all those Mainers who want to break off from Cumberland and York counties and form the State of Acadia, would quickly find themselves with the economy of Mississippi, with snow. BIW keeps a lot of people from Brunswick north, off of the welfare rolls. Camden...

I worked there for 1.5 years in the early 90's. I quit to scoop ice cream roughly 60 hours a week. I cleared the same after dry cleaning and commuting expenses. Slave Street.

I like it.

It seems like NASDI does all the demo work as well. Note : I'm no relation to Costello Demolition.

Elevator lobby at 75 Federal?

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End The end run around the BANANAS? As someone who had to deal with an elderly crowd in a waterfront development before, I hope this strategy works.

I guess JP is moving north. Why is so much land being wasted on open space here? This is the city. There is a playground near here and a linear park along the Orange Line. The pocket park is such a 1980's response to the old building burned down, the market cannot support new construction...

I could be crazy but 600 Harrison seems to me to be the project that makes the South End whole. There now will be a near solid streetscape from East Berkeley Street to Northampton Street along Harrison Avenue. I know Druker, Graybar, and Ink Block will or are being added, but this project...

Agree. You might get Fr. Bill's and the havoc that can be Quincy Center after dark, but junkies are from everywhere, just more on Essex Street. There is a methadone clinic along Old Colony Avenue across from the car wash. There is a Tufts sign in front of it. Good location for it. I think...

All right then - Did you know WBOS used to broadcast from Lovejoy Wharf back in the early 1980's? There, synergy between the music we used to buy at 360 Newbury Street and the future tax subsidized headquarters of a division of Nike. Does anyone know if there will be ground floor, or should...

Rehab was in 1986-1987. The Tea Bags didn't fly with The Future Ambassador / Umbrella Holder to the Holy See or the Turnpike Authority. I forget who shot it down. When Tower left and before Virgin moved in Virgin did a focus group. I told them it was a Gehry rehab and they almost fainted...

One little tangent on Kendall Square; Au Bon Pain, 7-Eleven, Legal Sea Foods are all there, not necessarily independent retail . The other retail, Mead Hall, etc. were purposely brought in by MIT to keep the place less sterile, just like Harvard is subsidizing that little oh so cute grocery...

Converse is not a 1,000 foot tower. There's a huge difference in terms of building an in theory 2,100,000 square foot Class A office tower over some subsidiary of Nike taking 187,000 square feet of tax incentivized Good Class B office space with little parking. How are you going to market to...

"There might be a better location for the 1000' or 300m tower -- i would locate it on the site of the old Spaulding Hospital and the adjacent Mass Gen Parking lot You're further outside the flight path Have all the North Station Commuter lines Have direct access to the Green and Orange lines...

I think people are looking at convenience over practicality here. You can walk to East Boston from Boston Proper. You just take Main Street in Charlestown to Broadway in Everett, then walk down RBP to Second Street and take it into Chelsea, walk under the Tobin, and make your way across to...

Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high Beal / Related also held onto to 131 Clarendon when building the mixed use Clarendon. Any redevelopment will probably fill in Quaker Lane (boo) and hopefully Ned's Spite Parcel (Hurray).

How many accidents are going to be caused by people going southbound on the Zakim looking up to see if they can find someone naked in their apartment? I'm a fan of the concept, not the materials of this place. Short shrift on a what is really a gateway parcel to the city from the north.
