There are pictures from a week ago. Imagine the cladding a floor higher.

The regular people who occupy the thousands of units that have come online in the last several years that you say exist only for the very rich, very poor and students. The vast majority are not rich, poor or students.

Then there are tens of thousands of people who would be pleased, or more likely amused to hear that they are “very rich”.

Doesn’t even seem like they’re trying to have this done for 2028 when their contract with the Brigham ends.

They’ve already placed listings in MLS at less than $2k/psf. Even the abject failure that is Winthrop Center is getting better pricing.

Not at all. You’re grossly overestimating how desirable this is and the sales and prices will demonstrate that.

Now for sale along with 45 Seekonk. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/150-Pitman-St-Providence-RI-02906/66086789_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/45-Seekonk-St-Providence-RI-02906/81849009_zpid/

Even a notary? Well I’m sold.

Obviously lower floor units but much lower pricing than I would have expected($1650 and $1980/psf). https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/682-Atlantic-Ave-37M-Boston-MA-02111/442247471_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/682-Atlantic-Ave-38L-Boston-MA-02111/441845876_zpid/

It’s not a concern based in reason, reality or with an awareness of this little thing called soundproofing.

Off to a promising start … https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/nyregion/congestion-pricing-nyc.html

You’re the only one trashing it. It’s not perfect but it’s going to fade into the background and be a huge net gain for the area. Hardly anyone is going to notice the windows much less spend an iota of their time formulating an opinion on them. Most people are too focused on their own lives to...

Is that really a big issue or more of a perception? Not having traveled with kids probably since I was one I can’t make an informed comment on that but it doesn’t seem like Logan Express would be overwhelming for families.

They could use more Logan Express locations and need to do a better job of marketing it. Once you’ve used Logan Express, you never want to go back to the hassle of driving in and paying $40/day.

DC is already doing this(and we have too at 125 High). It doesn’t have to be residential above necessarily but it’s an effective way of getting municipal property on the tax rolls. This concept has always interested me seeing how much land some of our police/fire stations and libraries occupy...

Funny thing about those expressing their outrage is that if some homeless guy fell and split his coconut they’d probably be the first ones demanding an investigation into how he was allowed up there and why it was open in the first place.

It’s a liability issue. Nothing more.

An ancillary benefit of gentrification.

But it’s going to beef up the skyline and give about a half dozen people something to take pictures of, obsess over and ultimately whine endlessly about.

I’m more than familiar with their track record. I was pointing out that this is not likely indicative of the project actually happening. They’re not going to self-finance a $600m project without even a hint of demand. I think it’s more likely they got the permit to assist with selling the...
