Ditto - I had to get an oil tank replaced for $5500, or dump the system and go for heat pumps for $11k after rebates. Heat pumps were an easy choice over oil or gas. We did the whole-home replacement last year for H2i cold climate system. The -20 day this winter only got the house down to 66...

Think Everett could sneak in a "community benefits" package for that "future pedestrian bridge?? (Below is from the Malden River Greenway planning meetings - https://mysticriver.org/maldenriver)

@SkyriseCities - can we add a reaction for eyerolls :rolleyes:. We've got a lot of melodramatic nonsense that could use the appropriate reaction...

We need your help towards the Northern Strand Trail Extension Project! The estimated $11 million Northern Strand Trail Extension project in Lynn is in progress and is tentatively scheduled to start construction this winter or spring 2024. It includes extending the trail another...

Surprise - no one is parking and riding... "Collectively, these North Shore lots and garages in the MBTA's daily reports have had about 2,000 vacant parking spaces available by the end of the morning rush hour, with a total utilization rate that's consistently less than 50 percent."...

I know it's far too late... but I can't look at this 250 foot building and not think what a waste of location for such a mediocre structure. This should be 2x as tall and a signature design, not this weirdly stepped lego nub. Can anything but the top floor even see Boston?

Not sure where this goes... should we break off a "Community Path" thread?

There is a lot of opportunity here for both Home Depot and additional development. Part of the parking lot along Revolution Drive, and the whole Circuit City property could easily be repurposed without impacting HD operations too badly. I'm still surprised the light industrial triangle just...

"Office Space is dead" Deloitte, has signed a lease for 138,000 s/f of office space at Winthrop Center...the largest office lease signed in the city and the surrounding community this year. Deloitte is targeting to move into its new space at Winthrop Center in fall 2024. With 812,000 s/f of...

Such a weird collection of anecdotes in that article, and missing the point. Ebi Sushi just had 500 apartments open across the street BECAUSE THE T GOT BUILT, who will now be inviting friends to come visit on the T to their local sushi joint. Soundbites lost all of their car traffic during the...

Thanks for sharing! That's an awesome article and project - lowered the basement 4 feet, underground expansion, totally separate entrance of bronze and glass, and geothermal HVAC - all without touching the character of the exterior or core structure. $$$$ Edit - found some more entrance...

Minority (?) opinion - gross. It's a glass box glued on to a classic structure. They couldn't even be bothered to intersperse some columns between the fishtank glass to match the rest of the design? Tried to mimic the roofline instead of a giant circle? Did the architect even look at the...

No retail announcements yet, but these guys typically bring in chains to be solid anchors to the neighborhood. https://bostonrealestatetimes.com/blackline-retail-group-named-exclusive-retail-leasing-agent-for-beachmont-square-at-suffolk-downs/ https://www.blacklinere.com/property/beachmont-square/

Awww I have a weird fondness for that creepy wood shack...

Right - lots of people will be great for restaurants, sidewalk sales, pulling in retail to browse, etc. A pot shop will have fogged windows and no outdoor presence. It's a net loss, or at least and absence of activity, for a vibrant neighborhood. Basically what it looks like now - full...

Booooooo. What a waste of an awesome public gathering/patio space. Happy they built a good looking building, but with pot shops on every corner with competing prices (13 storefronts in 4.2 square miles, vs "only" 10 Dunkin Donuts) economics says they're going to go the way of cheap liquor stores...

Good on them for staying local - but there's very few landlords willing to do short term industrial leases like this, and it can't be cost-effective. Battery research means chemical labs, which while aren't as strict as bio labs are still energy hogs. My bet is they must already have a large...

Is it that hard to stick with the neighborhood industrial masonry? GE did it with a futuristic building, and still kept the minimalist tendencies. Really unimpressive effort that will get all sorts of praise... :(

Off topic, but I thought Millennium Tower architects should be embarrassed when their Energy Star score in the BERDO was a 13/100. It's the equivalent of buying a Jaguar - you buy it for the looks not the quality.

SOLD for $188M - does that make this thread closed? Who's in real estate and can say how this deal went for them? https://www.bisnow.com/boston/news/multifamily/chicago-firm-buys-assembly-square-apartment-building-for-188m-119281
