I want to ask them to restore the cornice on this building that was likely removed because they were too cheap to maintain it over the years. Would it improve it though? Image source: Huntington Ave. facade, M.F.A. - Digital Commonwealth

The Cambridge Day article also mentions a lab building proposed for the Walgreens at 1740 Massachusetts Ave. That's the first I've heard about that proposal. Google search coming up empty.

People in Saugus complain about Route 1 traffic literally all the time, but then only permit development that is sure to make it worse. Like there is no alternative to driving at these locations. Not to work, eat, go out, etc. I guess they could walk to Fuddruckers...

It sounds more like he's meddling in the preliminary outreach phase. Imagine I say to a colleague "what's the max height we can build here, 700ft?" and then someone immediately tells the neighbors as a heads up? Everything we've heard so far is so painfully alarmist when there's literally no...

Isn't every announcement a "surprise" to someone though? This doesn't appear to have been formally proposed to the City yet and it seems like they're in the preliminary outreach phase to see what can work. Honestly, they're doing it right, even if their proposal is dead on arrival for being...

And 7 stories too. Looking forward to seeing what the renderings look like.

Sounds like this might be starting up? https://everettindependent.com/2020/08/25/massive-redevelopment-of-stop-shop-site-planned/

453-463 Franklin St (at Melrose Highlands train station) approved last night. 21 units / 13 car parking / 30 bike parking. An abutting proposal (shown as massing on the left) was deferred to the next meeting. 453-463 Franklin Street Site Plan Review & Special Permit Application | Melrose MA...

I recently had to move and don't own a car. The bluebike station across the street made this location a no-brainer to rent the moving truck. For those who don't bike, they can soon take the train there. The city is building smaller units everywhere. Older people are downsizing. They end up with...

Public meeting tonight on this. Earlier this month they showed an updated (shorter) version. Adds sidewalk level separated bike lanes on one side though! 2022-04-12_Presentation_41 Berkeley Street.pdf | Powered by Box

Consisting of three 3-bed 2-bath units. This would have been a good one to convert to a quad-decker considering it's location and the amount of work they're already doing to it.

Anyone have access to can get more from this than a pivot to labs and 100% affordable housing? Peebles switches up plans for Back Bay air-rights project - Boston Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

Potentially extremely out of date, but in 2017 this was the plan before it got put on the back burner for being both not enough and also too much. Page 53 is this section. Microsoft PowerPoint - HDR Master Meeting #3_FINAL.pptx (mass.gov)

Market Basket doesn't lease any of its stores to my knowledge. It makes being in a City or even part of any sort of development project that it doesn't construct itself rather difficult.

From the initial switch announcement, I hope this remains true: The switch means the company will now only have about $22 million to put towards the so-called Parcel 12 project which would include one building with up to 170 affordable apartments and a hotel, rather than the $48 million it had...

from the building permit: New construction of 4 story commercial office building to house future lab tenants. Parking below grade via auto lift with ample bicycle parking. Rooftop penthouse for mechanical equipment and exhaust stacks to 10'-0 above adjacent building. The first floor will be...

Wow how sneaky. You can't tell it's a 6 story building from most angles in their renderings. Not that it's bad, but if you didn't see the aerial you might be expecting something different.

I believe I read that it is actually going to be a lab building being built as of right and that the hotel fell through.
