    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    Labs are built differently - less dense, more energy intensive, and less street interaction. Also have very large and loud 24 hour exhausts, and more controlled loading docks. Anecdotally, occupants typically come in and stay for the duration of work hours, and have fewer visitors than an office...

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    Boooo. Not because of the project or even the loss of some neighborhood favorites. It's another lab, in a spot that should be something much more interesting. I loved the student housing. I'd be happy with suite housing. It would be an interesting spot for senior housing. If WeWork is still...

    Chelsea Infill and Small Developments

    A grid storage facility or battery manufacturing? Wholly unsubstantiated idea - Form Energy just got a LOT of cash.

    MBTA Construction Projects

    Not that this is a good solution... but my facilities have been quoted many months for custom glass installs.

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    I think it fits well with the rest of Revere Beach - it is a brand new bright and beachy development under 0.5 mile from the beach and a boardwalk. Restaurants/retail a block from a Stop&Shop, and right next to the very dense Beachmont neighborhood, and built to integrate well with the upcoming...

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    I like that the hole is filling in... but another uneven stack of books?!?

    Northland Newton | Needham St. @ Oak St. | Newton

    Similar to others - I'm unimpressed with the urban design and apparent lack of future-proofing here. There is a confusing street grid, the connection to Needham Street is misaligned from existing roadways, and there is no clear set-aside for a proper connection to a green line station. What a mess.

    E-Scooter Rentals in MA

    Do I hate that bad bike riders will now be fast bad bike riders? Do I love that I would not despise biking up my neighborhood hill on those heavy blue creatures?

    975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    Are they looking at the same facade as in the render?

    Domino Sugar Redevelopment | 425 Medford Street | Charlestown Waterfront

    Weird that Ten hills gets a tag, but Sullivan doesn't. EDIT: Defined by census tract (not zip), selected through nomination by the governor, and certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury via delegation of that authority to the Internal Revenue Service.

    Charlestown Infill and Small Developments

    Is there a good place to put the Charlestown Master Plan? There are some good demonstrations for scenario planning in the storymap: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/fa48f4dacaa84144a854fa1808ad9902

    Medford Life Science Park | 278-326 Mystic Avenue | Medford

    "An earlier [40B] multifamily proposal drew objections from Medford Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn who noted that the city’s commercial-industrial tax base was at an all-time low of 10.6 percent." Medford has been left out in the cold on the commercial building boom. This location is one for the few...

    Bill Russell Bridge | North Washington St.

    Ouch. The new bridge is estimated to cost $177 million

    Everett Waterfront Redevelopment | 52 Beacham Street | Everett

    This shouldn't stop the Wynn or Davis proposals, but definitely slows the stadium potential. Coming from a clean energy industry professional... this is the largest power plant in the state, and until we finally have the offshore power flowing and a few years of data, the conservative side of me...

    Two lanes or one?

    Jeez guys, you're so impatient. They haven't relined the intersection since they started removing the flyover in 2003 - what's the hurry to fix it?

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

    Every time I walk by I think they took influence from the Whiskey Priest drunken vision... The walls are leaning!
