That's fair, but I don't think it's a huge concern right in Downtown. I might be wrong.

Because one lowers housing costs in a housing crisis, and the other lowers expense reports for convention-goers.

I'm not sure those are the best examples. Winthrop Square and SST were cut by the FAA, the Hub on Causeway towers just shrank during value engineering, and One Bromfield wasn't a realistic proposal. One example that springs to mind is the unbuilt 1000 Boylston, which I think lost 100-200 feet...

The mad lads are really going for it... and yeah, this is nowhere near the West End. This is even at the edge of the Bullfinch Triangle. 40 stories puts us in the same range as the Hub on Causeway and the Alcott. Interestingly, the Alcott only has 470 units in its 44 stories, while this is also...

And since Fan Pier was first proposed, the Envoy has been built, the Omni has been built, the Yotel has been built, and the Residence Inn has been renovated (that come immediately to mind). Plenty of new hotel rooms, and with the Envoy and Omni, pretty prominent flagship properties. Also, we've...

I can't find them these days whenever I look, but this has been conceptually designed already. It's not an imagination-level thing. This is where the MBTA intends to put the station, full stop.

It's really more of an A-C Connector than a B-B Connector...

Maybe. Over time they've done some back-of-house work on the piers, and I know HVAC was part of that. Also, they don't have to shut down too many gates at a time to be comprehensive. The hammerhead halves have 4, 3, 3, and 4 gates respectively. If they're willing to move those ops into the new...

Then don't. Gut a couple of gate areas at a time and renovate them to the standard of the rest of the airport. The new gates available to JetBlue thanks to B/C should allow them to do rolling closures. Having flown through A recently they also need to do this at a lesser level there, mainly in...

That's part of this project, right? They're building a new facility for those buses. In addition to the conclusion that Massport just hates people who use the C piers at a personal level, these two projects also make me wonder about whether Logan should be like SFO at this point and number...

MassDOT has restriped to implement this at several interchanges. Weston springs most immediately to mind.

Well, it's in keeping with the rest of the architecture on display here..

I think there's architectural cues you could pull from the 1910-1930 style of arena (it would look pretty cool). Without knowing the details of the structural engineering, I think it probably should be possible to build around the existing arena - take the pitched roof off, put a steel frame...

It would be an interesting proposal to make at the Congressional level in the next Transportation Bill (it would die there) that aviation revenues should be usable for aviation alternatives like HSR. At the moment it's illegal to spend them on anything other than aviation improvements.

@stellarfun, would you mind changing the thread title to reflect the development's name, now that it has one? "Everett Docklands | 52 Beacham Street | Everett"

Judging by the date on this thread, seems like 14 years :) https://archboston.com/community/threads/re-posting-of-banker-tradesman-articles.3632/ In seriousness, glad you're here, and thank you for the new info. I can't imagine how they think they're filling 3.3MSF of lab space at this point...

Matthews is ugly and nothing special because Northeastern ruined it. It used to look like this: And it was down the street from Mechanics Hall, that looked like this: These universities have more money than deities, and surely this is a pretty expensive design as it is. If you're going to...

Yes they are, and why they would think that is okay is beyond me.

This should have its own thread. 8/20 BCDC presentation: https://bpda.app.box.com/s/d1ci5vkojqro48l9kgbvx45c8yxfgtko PNF: https://bpda.app.box.com/s/ieoz97glv2vnbnuztblr9zjypslwb2ut They spend a lot of time here focusing on exterior materials ("See guys? It's technically brick. That makes it...

I'm glad there are hard deadlines on this - every Mark Development project I know of (beyond the first one in Newtonville) is either failed, sold, or on-hold.
