    Everett Docklands Innovation District | 52 Beacham Street | Everett

    These were not petroleum storage tanks, but gasholders, built in the 19th Century for the storage of illuminating gas. The development, writ large, is known as Kings Cross. And indeed, numerous old industrial structures are preserved and reutilized...

    The New Office/Lab Thread

    A reminder. Bain Capital is separate from Bain & Co.; the latter will be occupying the new building that is replacing the demolished Shreve, Crump, and Low building.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    A very nice and intimate setting, at least at night. I had to Google for the answer to what happened to the Robert Burns statue. The statue was moved back to the Fens in 2019, the original site of the statue. See WGBH story...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    As noted above, all it would take to forestall this approach in an informal session would be for a single legislator to object. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/01/business/revolution-stadium-in-everett/

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    No, it is not it. As the state senator from Everett has stated, the stadium could be brought up as a separate bill. The previous two attempts have tried to pass it by including it in an omnibus bill. The problem is that in the stadium bill and in the bilateral agreement between the Krafts and...

    Stadium deal did not make it out of the legislature as the formal session came to a close Wednesday night. What Sal said might be part of the problem. A self-centered statement. The stadium-related provisions were only in the Senate bill. And the House seems unwilling to tango...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    I am not going to retrieve a pdf file with the agreement for the specific wording. But IIRC, the agreement calls for an 'improved and safe pedestrian access between the stadium and the Sullivan Square station'. And that this access will be "built by others." As this pedestrian access is...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    If Kraft was interested in providing for future attendance growth, he would do a land swap with the MBTA. Move their garage north of Encore to the south, to the former Eversource parcel, and build a stadium on the MBTA parcel, and also throw in the Honda dealership next to the garage. The plan...

    SAV-MOR Site Lab Building | 15 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    Maybe the University of Michigan uses a seven year rolling average, but most universities use a much shorter period; i.e., three year rolling average with a one year lag. All endowments are comprised of restricted funds and unrestricted funds. Harvard's endowment is comprised of 14,000...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    The easements appear to cover (1) all the electrical equipment on the northern section of the site, bounded on the south where the ductwork half-circles the containment wall for the large fuel tank, and (2) the electrical equipment along the east side of Alford St., the ductwork and probably...

    ^^^From the Globe, March 2023 ^^^ Rendering of the planned new stadium, from the NE Revolution. April 2024. It appears that the substation and associated switch gear (in the open air) running northward along the east side of Alford St. remain in near-perpetuity. It appears that switch...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    The site is constrained dimensionally: on the west by the switching station; on the east by property owned by others; on the south by the river and the to-be-constructed berm to protect against future flooding; on the north by property owned by others. IIRC, the stadium is so land-constrained...

    This all happened not so long ago, probably when you were living elsewhere, if I recall your past geographic references. Some have pointed the finger at Larry Summers. From Harvard magazine, Jan-Feb 2010 https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2010/01/harvard-2009-financial-losses-grow Emphasis...

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    From the mansionglobal article, the seller was Jon Cronin, the developer. And again from the article, the new owners will be ripping out Cronin's décor for their own, at a cost of "millions". With an apartment size of 5,500 sq ft, "millions" would mean at least $400 a square foot.

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    As I recall the agreement between the Krafts and the city of Everett, the pedestrian crossing between Sullivan Square and the stadium was to be 'funded by others'. The 'others' were not otherwise identified. True, the pedestrian crossing would entirely be within the city of Boston, and the...

    SAV-MOR Site Lab Building | 15 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    Harvard left a much, much bigger hole in the ground when it started construction of its new science and engineering building on Western Ave., then stopped it. The excavation was covered IIRC. The building complex was then re-designed, and built when Harvard could again afford it. That they...
