Yeah... same. Aside from living in a couple new construction residence halls at Northeastern University (man do they take great care of their properties!), the nicest rental apartment I lived in in Metro-Boston out of 7-8 places has been Modera Medford next to Wellington Station--a recently...

If an architecture student ever asked a doctor to explain Dissociative Identity Disorder in a language they may understand, a great place to start is probably this image. (beautiful photo @kz1000ps of a painfully-executed facade)

... and the rest of them from BBJ: Cronin Proposal Boston Global Investors Proposal:

Even so, I just think it makes more sense to concentrate the functions of the Charlestown MBTA Garage and Everett shops (bus and rail maintenance) at a centralized facility that the MBTA has not only said they'd like to construct a new Bus Maintenance Facility, but one that already has a rapid...

A savvy developer would've proposed a decked Bus Maintenance Facility large enough that MBTA could cease operations at the Charlestown and Everett maintenance facilities; preserve a 200' setback from the Malden & Mystic Rivers for wetland regeneration and recreation; construct 1000-2000 condos...

Yes, Maine and NH are benefiting from people leaving the Boston metro... although to be clear, Southern NH is not only the high growth area for that state but also technically knit with the Boston metro area... so it's not as though people are leaving the Boston metro area in that case, just...

I, too, love a waterpark and amusement park thrill ride as much as the next Roller Coaster Tycoon alum. However, the pragmatic adult I've matured into wants to point out the immediate concerns that arise with what you're proposing. The waterslides/waterpark would be a maintenance nightmare...

I think the writing is on the wall that North Station is destined to take the #1 busiest station by entry by January 2023. The opening of GLX stations in Somerville and Medford mid-December + NBA season home games + NHL season home games + improved OL headways (further reduction of slow zones)...

The Seaport has literally added more housing units (*including affordable housing units) than any neighborhood in Boston during the last 10 years except possibly for Downtown, Allston/Brighton, and East Boston. And despite the lack of cranes/highlights for housing in Mr. Kirsner's Globe article...

Filling out Freida Garcia Park across that pike trapezoid would certainly be preferable on that Clarendon-adjacent air rights parcel than a new development proposal.

Lucky for you there's a SLX Alternatives Analysis Virtual Public Meeting tomorrow evening (12/13) at 6pm. More info here. Your input matters.

Developers said something like an 18-24 month construction timeline from groundbreaking. So a realistic completion date could be Spring 2025.

This is not conjecture: the Everett Commercial Triangle's development pipeline is on pace to have the same level of housing density as the Fenway neighborhood before 2030. And between the clip of what's under construction and what's approved for development, Everett alone could see its...

The lion’s share of the site is in Everett. Literally the rear slice of the site is in Chelsea.

I caught these changes a month ago and was wondering how long it would be before they made it onto this thread. But, more surprisingly, I don't understand how/why Boston Globe, Boston Business Journal, and other journalists haven't caught this design change. This is the first instance made...

The following content is for information purposes only, as presented at public meetings. Yesterday evening the Everett ZBA gave final approval to The Sofia (380 2nd Street). Height: 239’ (21 stories) Gross Square Footage: 676k sq. ft. Units: 624 apartments (245 studios, 241 1-beds, and 138...

@DZH22 , here I am opening the thread you created thinking, “Oh, interesting: this should be a constructive conversation about the problems with bike share and ways to solve them.” And, instead, I found a fuss fest. First of all, the two ‘problems’ you listed with bike share aren’t bike share...

Annually.

I was in the neighborhood yesterday… and positively giddy at the transformation this development is having on the neighborhood. Air rights developments like these have a palpable effect on reconnecting communities from the scars of our interstate highway network. I really hope we can figure out...
