Franklin Block - Historic Rehab (21 units) Essex Street Lofts - Historic Rehab (42 units)

A good deal of development activity in Haverhill -- Merrimack Street Redevelopment Project - (370-420 residential units, 50K sf of retail/restaurant space) Demolition and site prep has begun on this 4.5 acre site which includes the redevelopment of a former city-owned parking garage and...

Interesting that there is also a South Korean flag in what appears to be the MBTA conference room.

Foxborough has to be among the most virulently anti-housing towns in the Commonwealth. The MBTA zoning question was to re-zone a total of 50 acres (about 0.004 percent of the Town's land area) for multi-family and it failed overwelmingly. I question the wisdom of concentrating so much...

The Residences at the Franco - 80 apartments This is proposed for the UMass Lowell area - maybe a mile or so outside Downtown - at 357 Pawtucket Street --

I think this has a lot of promise. A huge area along the subway line north and south of Medford Street is just a sea of parking lots and one-story industrial buildings and shopping centers, so it's as primed for redevelopment as anything else. This would also give Everett a subway stop within a...

The little Winthrop Square park is well done. Nicely scaled, well landscaped and frames the historic building nicely.

It’s a shame that power line wasn’t buried —

Nice Seaport addition —

This looks suspiciously like a 5-story project and not a 4-story one :) (which I'm completely on board with)

When you say expensive, how bad are we talking? I walked through the lobby for the first time the other day and noticed it. It looked worth checking out but also gave off very expensive vibes.

Demolition begins at Waldo-Durgin site, paving way for major Coolidge Corner development https://brookline.news/demolition-begins-at-waldo-durgin-site-paving-way-for-major-coolidge-corner-development/

A few different perspectives from yesterday (7-27) -

I think part of it is just basic infrastructure investment. The Ladder District streets between Washington and Tremont are not in great shape. Better lighting, landscaping, wider pedestrian paths, masonry surfaces - all of that would go a long way.

Electrification has been billed as a way to increase the speed of service. So for example, from Lowell it currently takes about 45 minutes on the train to North Station - eight stations on about 25 miles of track. Approximately how much time savings would electrification result in on the Lowell...

Thank you for all the info. That is a lot of brick. It looks like certain areas will be reserved for artwork so I question whether the brick background is necessary. Boston could use some more public art downtown and I’d be in favor of making the entire structure a canvas for that.

I believe this is a ventilation structure for the Tunnel (located just west of One Financial Center). Not sure what they’re doing exactly - replacing or refacing it?

Interesting plaza design. Looks like pretty minimal changes to the exterior of the building itself: https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/55-summer-street

This is in one of the overlay districts created as part of the MBTA Communities zoning in Lexington, so progress!
