    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    JP residents continually block projects around Green St station (and by Jackson Sq and Stony Brook), anything that would pencil on Centre St to replace single story taxpayers, and dense infill throughout. Occasional exceptions notwithstanding. Look at PLAN JP Rox: the requirements the...

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    There is a long story about the neighbors preventing those lots from being built on and opposing any and all feasible development proposals. But snark is more fun.

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    These lots are still vacant because of Boomer pastoralist NIMBYs

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    100% boomer pastoralist NIMBYism turning the area next to green st station into ahistorically low density homes + vacant lots. And the historical density was far too low for heavy rail subway proximate areas.

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    Incredible how long Morse Fish was there. Also that it was always one story

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    At the very least you could probably match the height of Eva White on Tremont. That might be enough depending. Who owns Castle Square?

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    Hilarious, WeWork gut reno'd this whole building and then went bankrupt. Should've always been apartmetns

    The New Retail Thread

    You are absolutely right, I was thinking of the Radian building directly across the street.

    The New Retail Thread

    This is fantastic. A really great location for more cafes and open air dining. Will just attract passersby too. It feels like when it first opened, 1 lincoln had some prominent restaurants and has not really kept that up since the pandemic.

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    There was an easy way to resubmit the waterfront plan, but she refrained from doing so, with some nice nimby language.

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    It's not the BPDA, it's the mayor that destroyed it with a huge assist by nimby lawsuits from the CLF.

    Boston Water and Sewer Commission development | 923-925 Harrison ave| Roxbury

    The problem is the whole thing requires several different subsidies to work. It was a mess the second they made it affordable only.

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    Do they need another lease for the resi buildings? Is this the DOT approval for everything?

    Midwood Development Proposed 23-story office tower at the corner of Bromfield and Washington streets

    The whole thing is a massive own goal by the city, which is kneecapping a developer who wants to add to downtown. Just like the half assed plan downtown zoning, the inaction here is only contributing to the mess. This is one part of the City where high density should be very much by right.

    Vertex Headquarters @ Fan Pier | 11 Fan Pier Blvd, 50 Northern Ave | Seaport

    Vertex is absolutely crushing it. They may need more space given the number of bfd drugs they'll soon have.

    1 Taber street | Roxbury

    It's going to be darkly funny when the market rate infill all gets built way before the high concept, baroque subsidized buildings along the square proper (on city owned land) get developed. Will be very similar to the SWC in that way.
