I am simply not sure what you expect. Every development needs to be profitable but there are so many restrictions placed on developers that their options are severely limited. It was recently reported that Mass has the highest cost of living expense in the country. That expense flows throughout...

Would you prefer triple deckers with townies sitting on the stoop drinking bud lights and cat calling the women passing by?

This thing, and the style in general for that matter, will age as well as brutalism did. Meaning, a limited architecture buff subsection will always adore it, while the masses with loathe it for generations to come.

Is this thing like a data center or something similar? What happened to the trend of getting as much natural light as possible into the office space?

PALMER – A development duo is proposing a $650 million water park and resort complex on 250 acres of forested hilltop that was once considered for a Mohegan Sun casino. Winthrop Knox and Michael J. D’Amato are announcing Wednesday that their planned development south of the Massachusetts...

Re: Parcel JK | NorthPoint | Cambridge Cambridge is the answer to your question.

Yes, but location is a significant factor as well. St. Pete is 24 miles from Tampa and most of the population is on the Tampa side. If the Sox played in Foxborough, even with the lure of the lyrical little bandbox, they would not draw nearly as well.

Re: South Station Tower I think you are alone, or at least part of very small community who does. I can be a little dense but it took awhile to see what you are seeing.

Yes, it was a pretty common occurrence in the late 60's & 70's. It was all about the property tax bill. I believe prop 2 1/2 helped to curtail a lot of that practice.

Fidelity too. I think they totally shuttered the massive campus they had in Marlborough. They moved most of the jobs to Texas and India. I personally believe Meddel's opinion, while certainly valid, is also short sighted. As soon as salaries exceed productivity, companies move those jobs...

Couldn't agree more, especially since this Citgo Corp is not your parent's Citgo Corp.

RI has been fucked up forever. Some of the comments from the hearing and to the article are staggering. They all yap about 38 studios, but that was simply a ploy to steal a company from a rival state. This at least builds something that remains, and will spur more development. And might even...

Re: South Station Tower It's tough to say where the hold up is. They are dealing with multiple government agencies. Often times one change starts the process all over again. And no one has decision authority, everything has to go up. And then someone retires, or there is an election, or a...

Between them and Lowe's, they are the only game in town. There are very few options out there for building materials and hardware. There are hardly any true lumber yards left, and only an occasional Ace Hardware and even less so, a neighborhood hardware store for your home needs.

Re: South Station Tower Copley was Simon.

Contrary to popular belief, not all companies want to go into Boston/Cambridge. The 128 office market is booming and space is scare. This is right off 128 and at the end of the green line for reverse commuters. Offices make a ton of sense at this location and they do not severely drain city...

Because the developer owns this under-performing property and not the empty lots?

Is that the old Blue Diner?

Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport The Seaport is a corporate playground. With new construction, developers need their ROI. Combining that with the exponential cost of pouring licenses, you are only going to get major national or deep pocketed local chain providers and their...

Like good old Ned Flaherty, a shoe-in for the Nimby Hall of Fame. Where did he move off to?
