Re: Waterside Place If the planned development gets done it will be the same mixed use that was by all means successful for the Back Bay: residential, office, retail, hotel and a convention center. Major tenants have signed leases for new and current buildings (PwC, Goodwin Proctor, Battery...

The only one I'm aware of in Massachusetts is the Cisco Brewery in Nantucket. It isn't Munich, but it's a pretty cool scene with some eclectic folks.

Two halves don't make a whole here. At the risk of sounding like a spoiled resident, a public tennis court or soccer nets would have been nice. The only public tennis court near Fort Point is in...North End by the Charlestown bridge? Thanks for posting the link, I hadn't seen that.

Yeah it's kind of a bummer it's a half court, but people seem pretty enthused to finally have park amenities that most of the other neighborhoods already have (count me as one). I've seen it get a lot of daytime usage so far during the week - probably folks that work in area I'd assume. Think...

Does anyone have any detail on that first condo project? Other than the billboard on Seaport Boulevard? Was hoping they would have broken ground on that and the Goodwin Proctor/Hotel building going in front (or is it behind) the ICA... ...I did see in Boston.com that the relevant planning...

It's a great little park with a terrible name. (I think "Q" refers to the name of the parcel designated by Seaport Square developers.) It also has a dog run. I live a block away and have "patroned" it a few times already. Neighbors have been waiting for it to open since March when work was...

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place Yep, out of towners. Some of the same people who still think The Living Room is cool because Nomar used to hang out there.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place For better or worse, a Legal Sea Foods in DTX will get people who don't live or work in or immediately around DTX to visit. Considering its proximity to the theater venues across the street and on Tremont, Boylston, etc., I bet the place will be pretty...

The pictures don't do justice to the sheer massiveness of the building. It practically goes right up to the sidewalk. The stretch of A Street between Barlow's and this project is very barren, almost hostile. Though bike lanes have recently been added... Driving up S. Boston Bypass Road you...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Hotel and 300 unit apartment building coming to massport's parcel K. The image in the BBJ link looks wrong (aren't those D street hotels?)...

There is also a billboard up advertising "22 Liberty Drive". It is right by the barking crab and sleeper street, courthouse side. Absolutely can't miss it if you are driving into area over Seaport Boulevard Bridge.

Re: TD Garden Towers Very exciting. The renderings released yesterday seem to indicate "mall-caliber" stores in the first few levels of the north station entrance. Wonder what kind of knock-on effect these projects will have on the ground-story retail along causeway, canal, etc. Also, I...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Don't forget Fan Pier condo bldg #1, 381 Congress Street, 319 A (front), Waterside Place, Cresset Development's D St. project and Summer Street condo bldg plans filed with BRA (last one may end up as office space). Would be...

BOA Pavilion? Size is right. They get acts too. Radiohead played there a few years back...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Looks like The Victor standing up. That said, it's a pretty dusty part of the Seaport (and that's saying something) and 400+ housing units would be very welcome, especially considering the holding pattern Parcels B & C of Seaport Square (the resi...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport I tend to agree with bigeman312. I've always thought if they could build enough new housing stock in places like the Seaport/Ft. Point and DTX/C-town, for example, prices in the above-named neighborhoods would really start to cool off. I'd wager...

Build a 5-7 story building spanning the block and put the garden on top. Or put the garden on top of the (renovated) roofs of Castle Square? I used to live near there and its rat city at night. First time poster, long time reader!
