WS won't build it spec, if that's what you mean. Skanska was pretty unusual in their ability/willingness to do that at 121. And they've still got like a year before that's done, right? But if WS can pre-lease to an anchor tenant, they'll go ASAP. And at only 450,000 sf they need to pre-lease a...

Re: Hotel Tower | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square Or you could pay for a subscription.

Re: Boston Globe Site Redevelopment | Dorchester How bad could they be? It's not like the place is a lead smelter. (or an old power plant like on Summer Street) What was cleanup of the old Herald site like?

Well, the Garden Garage sure seems to be on hiatus. So your dream is at least a little true.

Yeah. I was through there recently. It's a neat little space, and could become more active if Hub orients something in that direction. But the big blank wall of the Garden/North Station is deadening. Put a restaurant in there or something with a door/windows to the outside...

The Globe, BBJ and Banker and Tradesman all operate behind paywalls. When you take entire stories and post them here you're ripping them off.

I believe they have to drill some piles down through the garage. Not sure if/when that happens. But it's almost certainly faster and cheaper than a full foundation.

As I understand it, they are going to keep the garage in place, encased in the lower floors of the building, and use it as a sort of podium for the tower above. So, no hole. Same plan for the office tower, should they lease enough space to launch it. Gets them vertical faster and - I'd assume -...

That's an interesting question. Best I can tell from the PNF on Bunker Hill, the 1100 apartments take care of the affordable rental. But the condos (there are 600 planned) are subject to IDP. So 13 percent of those will be affordable at 80 or 100% AMI. See pg. 44...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Financial District Back Bay Seaport Kendall All within walking - or at least a short T ride - of each other. We do OK. Also: Nearly all the tall buildings actually getting built in this cycle are residential. That's where the demand is for height...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Not for nothing, Central Park is much larger than the Common. Also, the one place in this country where no one complains about "Manhattanization" may be actual Manhattan.

Like this garage in the building off Ipswich Street? https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3462891,-71.0953707,3a,75y,350h,99.08t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAEyCtT3kly9ei2KuNuIXBw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 That's where players park, right? I'd be pretty surprised if most gameday workers get parking. But there's...

Re: Dudley Square Residential Tower | Washington St. | Roxbury Apparently has AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust involved in financing. That's a pretty good investor to have.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Yeah. That's lobbying. There's nothing to sue yet anyway.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District HYM's project was a block further from the harbor, where the St. Anthony Shrine sits. Wouldn't be surprised if the FAA limit is a bit higher there.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I agree it's a moot point and isn't likely to get to 775. But, right now, Millennium is formally proposing a 775-foot tower. And no one knows exactly where the FAA limit is going to wind up. So how else would you describe it?

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Because Millennium proposed a 775-foot tower in their filing with the BRA?

Totally agree there's a difference between pure NIMBYs, and activists who are working to, say, boost affordable housing or improve the waterfront. The latter will ask a lot of a project but are generally open to a deal. And they're not necessarily misguided. There's also a third - often even...

It's also vacant and crumbling while that lawsuit sits in court awaiting appeals and final resolution.
