Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport The old rusted out footbridge could really use some work, especially since its a pedestrian gateway to Fan Pier and Seaport Square. (The Seaport Blvd bridge has a lot of truck traffic on it and is not a particularly peaceful or serene way to cross...

Anyone know anything about the fairly-large park that is going in where the pile of dirt in the foreground currently rests? The garage doesn't bother me as much as the empty parcels of land and the abandoned light-industrial buildings at and around West 2nd and West Broadway. Can someone...

Downside of a tabasco market? NIMBYs come out of woodwork: http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/real_estate/2013/07/commercial-tenant-fights-forest-hills.html?s=image_gallery...

Re: Waterside Place The last shot is basically a permanent view from the water as a park sits in front of that portion of the building.

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Right? I was standing on Congress Street this morning looking toward the parcel. They are right next to each other! Fine by me, ideally the exhaust gets boxed in on all sides by development.

Re: South Boston Development Yes, most of this "small-scale" development in South Boston is occurring on East and West 1st, 2nd and 3rd Streets. So north of Broadway heading toward Seaport and downtown. I believe they rezoned the streets to permit residential a few years back. Lots of nimbys...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) It'd Goldman-Archon, right? Is any of the flipping and holding explainable in part b/c of the recent RE/credit bust?

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) I didn't know these 3 projects had been approved for office only. Which month did that occur in? What a bummer, the residences they had designed for those projects looked awesome.

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) There was a community meeting a few weeks back and the project was well-received. The neighborhood wants the project.

Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's This is great news. And a no-brainer. The Whole Foods in Beacon Hill/West End appears to print money based off their sales to MGH day staff alone, nevermind the neighborhood shoppers. I could see this shaping up the same way, with huge growth potential for...

Re: Pier 4 I walked by that yesterday morning. If you match it to the master plan and recent news it would appear that is the site for the new office/hotel building that law firm Goodwin Proctor has signed on for as anchor tenant. I have not seen any design plans for that building or the...

Re: South Boston Development For the sheer amount of development, I think the answer is yes. But if you go back a few pages on this thread you'll find some really shitty looking buildings that have gone up. That said, I agree most of it looks good and encourages density. I think part of the...

The park is pretty cool, I'm loving the basketball hoop. Hoping the neighborhood gets a little more full when the melcher street and 319A rear buildings start moving people in...

Re: South Boston Development Thanks for these shots BeeLine! The amount of small, off-the-radar development in South Boston blows my mind. It's as if there was no housing crash or hangover. Totally the wild-west of residential development in Boston.

Agree on location disappointment. The USPS needs to get the hell out of Fort Point Channel. Off-topic, but does anyone know what the plan is with the parking lots on the right side of A Street traveling toward West Broadway?

To datadyne's point, has anyone been to Empire in One Marina Park? Place is quite a scene. The (all female) bartenders are of Las Vegas quality and the decor is equally over the top. Surprisingly, it works and the place gets jam packed regularly. The weirdest thing for me was walking out of...

People actually say SOBO already. Terrible, just terrible.

Re: Waterside Place It's a coffee mecca!

Re: Waterside Place +1 There are three coffee shops withing one block on Congress Street. Flour, Bee's Knees and Barrington. Oh and a Dunkin' Donuts. And Metro. So five. Walking down Seaport Boulevard and condemning the area doesn't make any sense. The entire Seaport Square...
