Of all the projects in the city, this one presents the least speculation to me in regards to the potential for an empty lot on the "east parcel". I don't think State Street thinks in terms of one or even two cycles when it comes to real estate. And realistically, the east parcel won't be...

That is beyond my prognostic abilities. A movement away from LNG to start and then potentially a barrier system to account for sea level rise would change the inner harbor beyond recognition. I would love for the moderator to lead this conversation to the correct sub, I'd love to continue.

Not trying to derail thread, but looking towards Boston 2100 and with history as a guide, the Chelsea curves will be sublimated when the Tobin needs to be replaced (2060?). The opportunity exists for Chelsea to become a COMPLETELY different place, as it is closer to Gov Center than Fenway Park...

Perusing the buildings that have resumed construction recently really reads to me as a comment on the pockets behind each development project. I'm glad to see these buildings at the forefront of that movement given their essential contribution in turning the Seaport into a more cohesive...

This area is completely changing for the better. Within half a mile or so, (to include the mall and Boston landing) I can think of more than 1000 new apartments currently under construction or approved. It might be closer to 2000 or even higher if you say in the next 5-10.

I know nothing about this, but it struck me as a distinct possibility when I thought about it. I mean over and above what the average would be for similar hotel markets. Such as within the Pru-Copley complexes, to include the Hilton.

Pros and cons regarding the alley aside, one has to realize that even this "sanatized" version will only last so long. The transportation building IS a target for redevelopment in the relatively near future, and whatever replaces it will most certainly be closer to 1 Charles or the Ritz than a...

The condition of the road as pictured in #4 is really bad. I havent been to Cleveland Circle since my first kiss...the roads have apparently not seen much improvement since then. I can't imagine that section of track does the trolleys any favors either. In my dreams I see a total redo of the...

This is a development forum. Grit comes from the absense of development. It's almost impossible to reconcile the two. Another word for this kind of "grit" in regards to the combat zone is decay. A different place, definitely. A better place, that too.

So this sounds like they don't have any real intentions to develop it at all. It's a strip club company buying a strip club. My initial excitement regarding the sale lasted only as long as it took to look up ecdysiast. Which actually is kind of cool, I guess. Usually news of this kind...

Great to see the developer anticipating the eventual addition of floors to 1 Warren. Frankly it amazes me how many times this is screwed up. Both ways, too; examples abound where the placement of windows had slowed the development of neighboring addresses. In the larger context, the 4 city...

Arg, I did not articulate correctly at all. You are right on every count. The added "street" was not Blackstone but a parking lot (area of non parallel spaces) next to 145 St. Boltoph. And yes it would be a complicated land deal (maybe some spaces in the garage?) but not as complicated as...

I am in agreement that this will probably end up like the Collonade. My hope is different. I see no reason that there should not be TWO taller buildings here, separated by the extension of Blackwood St. though St. Boltoph to Huntington Ave. Two buildings the same height as 116 Huntington...

Beeline: 'nough said. Love the architecture of your pics. The off-vertical on the left of the frame works well with the straight-verticle of the subject, with the null space on the right as contrast. I have no photographic training, but this picture takes more than that. I know that...

+1 A dark alley indeed. While I hate oversimplifying the area, St. Francis House also does have a tendency to spill outside even with a constant police presence. Security will cost extra here.

I'm wondering how much longer the strip clubs will be there? I am aware that they have already fought hard to stay, and in all honesty can't really think of a "better" place. I do believe the Glass Slipper owns their building. This building certainly turns Lagrange into even more of a...

A crazy thought: biotech lab space might solve our forever problem: decking. Think; large floorplates, high $ per square foot. The Harrison Ave, Washington St. Pike crossing is a 15 minute walk from the BMC and the Bio 4 Lab on Albany, it qualifies in a broad sense. And so does way down on...

I'm not asking for a technical explanation for why or why not this, but (Please no thoughts on why the orange line works better), but if somebody could help me... If it was determined during all that study that the state saw benefit in spending all that money for transportation improvements in...

East of Dot Ave and west of Old Colony is not a neighborhood. It's no man's land. The polish triangle doesn't really exist anymore, per a Globe article in 2013 (top response when googled). And per an acquaintance who has live in the Mary Ellen McCormick projects for 25 years. Slow down? The...

I truly hope that the idea that "neighborhoods" are where family's live does not pin me as nostalgic. This is an office park on steroids, with housing to help feed the mill.
