Seems like a good showing for Emirates. I wonder how Turkish will impact them. Also wonder how Hainan will impact JAL. If JAL has a base that continues to Beijing, it could be some lost numbers. Overall, those growth numbers for Logan seem extremely healthy.

Re: 101 Seaport Blvd (PwC)/parcel L1@Seaport Sq./Seaport Given the talk about scarcity of hotel rooms around the convention center and area in general, I am surprised they aren't building anything directly above the floorplate. Is it just too hard to support a vertical structure when you need...

Very interesting and exciting. Sounds like a fair bit of reconfiguring of gates, not too much on new gates. Is this the westward expansion of the terminal as has been talked about. Good that they are adding new space. I don't fly international a lot, but when I have, the flights tend to...

maybe it's also a potential overbuild so if they do something on the homedepot, circuit city lot they can reorient it and scrap that surface parking in favor of something there in the future.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos what would an open market price be?

Housing people rich enough to be competing in the market against wealthy foreigners buying crash pads are not really the people we need to concerned about housing. Yes there is trickle down in the market, so even if 50% of a building goes to truly part time residents, it's still a plus on the...

Re: Pier 4 Residential Tower | 136-146 Northern Avenue | Seaport The view from the WTC is way better than the view from more downtown. It's a nice building with some interesting finishes. Definitely above average for the seaport and I think will be a great building once more is filled in.

^yes but Boston metro seems unique in its proximity of independent jurisdictions. economically, somerville is little more than a neighborhood of the boston/cambridge hub. Despite that exodus, I bet the average somerville person commutes 3 miles to downtown or cambridge. As a taxpayer tho, it...

^Exactly. Not to say that this is the ultimate goal of neighborhood development we want to spread across the metro, but let's not lament the loss of a non-existent Assembly Sq. neighborhood.

Wasn't Walmart looking at the Circuit City for one of its urban markets but that got shot down. I still think that would work as Assembly gets built up. I hope the old AMC and current lincoln tech buildings/lots get wrecked and incorporated.

The density of the city and proximity with the T mean this can continue to evolve. It's been talked about before, but I see no reason why every surface lot cant be built on with more commercial and residential as the market grows. Hell you can even increase parking, replacing 1 surface lot...

The full article is interesting. As a somerville resident, I think the city will be hard pressed to force affordable housing. Rent control is stupid, and won't be done. Mandates are linked to what is built, and if not enough overall gets built, then not nearly enough affordable housing is...

ya, how do you get away with just cement block street level. At least continue the siding down

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Serious, but maybe basic or cynical question. The Red line has delays because of signal problems at Alewife... a lot. I can understand some issues that appear mid-line, but how and why are there such severe and recurring issues at the terminus...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 ^100% agree as someone who now waits, takes and tracks buses in just this area versus just a few years ago.

I bike from East cambridge to back bay along Mem Drive pretty often. I try to stay on the dirt path (hubway, but wouldn't with my own bike.) The riverwalk is no even wide enough for all the walkers/runners. They really need to make a cycle track on the interior for many parts. It would be a...

I'm thinking sullivan sq. itself. Cambridge and Somerville are pushing big new developments on either side that need new stations and everything. Meanwhile Boston has one right there with minimal neighbors. Realign the street, carve up blocks and just upzone the whole area for mixed use...

i could see it getting there after the rest of the build out is complete. I mean another garage with more housing is a no brainer there. I've said all along, I also really hopes this pushes Boston to go big in Sullivan sq. too. If walsh really wants to be serious about high rise, workforce...

I walked by this the other day. It is a very nice rebuild of a very nice building. Almost Fort Point-esque. I venture the green space between the windows will have the decorative features put back in before this is fully wrapped up.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Boston is on the low end. you don't want to get too tight because then you don't have enough for companies to move in. Companies will always be upgrading and downsizing based on specific dynamics in their business/industry. I remember...
