I don't think it's real at all, and my post was meant to be extremely sarcastic, because those renders were dropped a few years ago and never mentioned again. There's a thread for these parcels, here...

Well that parcel to the west is underway for the very real, not at all fake vaporware Peebles project 1 Kneeland/Zero Greenway. Shouldn't be long now! https://peeblescorp.com/project/1-kneeland-street https://www.utiledesign.com/work/zero-greenway/

Last renders on BPDA showed this a lighter/gray brick, but the red looks great. Hand-laid or panels? These articulated facades have done a good job blending old and new in a few spots (townhouses on Arlington St in Bay Village are probably the best example).

It's more a consolidation from disparate groups and legacy offices from past acquisitions, all being rolled into a new single space in SST: Beyond Rowes Wharf [wealth management in 50 RW], JPMorgan occupies offices at 451 D St., 160 Federal St., and One Liberty Square. It’s not immediately...

Incoherent slop “The idea that zoning restrictions are what is the driving force behind housing production is false,” she said. “What we truly need in our community is affordable housing,” she added, citing proposals like the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, which died in a State House...

Excellent piece and the kind of super easy paper regulation that can provide dividends. Pasting a link to an older post I made with template for a letter to local reps in case anyone is interested in pushing on this. Will be resending this weekend and referencing this new article. Post in...

I get the complaints, but what is it that people want? This is a new build high rise on extremely expensive land that was always going to fetch top dollar. If the amenities (parking, direct unit access, etc) were worse then they'd sell more slowly and we'd have complaints about empty luxury...

Yeah the lack of any Boston locations is also kind of weird. Sure it's mostly commuters into the city, but Waterfront, Seaport, and Eastie seem like prime areas with lots of people who may want to weigh in here...

Goodbye Pi Alley garage, hello new Bromfield development. Shame it's only 500' . Nonetheless, rejoice!

This thing has been sitting dormant for a long while now, but there's an agenda item in front of the Conservation Commission Meeting today related to some work. Not clear how ready they are to kick it off, but they'd be improvements to the waterfront and work to help transition from the Lilly...

They just picked a word and put it on the building. It's not a brand or related to anything about Kendall or Cambridge. It's also the tallest building in Cambridge so they could have gone with something more straightforward like Kendall Tower. Maybe referenced Galileo? I think of the old dumpy...

With Vega being a star in the constellation Lyra, let's toss it into the Lyrik/Lyra pile as another uninspired name. 121 Broadway would have been more than acceptable.

I hope these people are roundly ignored. With no electoral risk there's no need to compromise on any of the points these people have argued for in bad faith. Yes there are historic buildings downtown but it is so obviously the best place for new housing in all of New England. Big day Thursday!

Yeah I was going to say, Wu is most vulnerable from her right from the "half my family lives in Saugus and Methuen" voters. There's a reason our last few mayors were elected, and it's not because they were broadly popular leftists. I don't know if she was beatable this cycle, but the best chance...

Looks 100% complete on the outbound platform as well except for some construction materials sitting around. Not sure if it's inspection, some final permitting or punch list but I was hoping to see it done after Labor Day Weekend. Alas, has to be super close.

OK so I was encouraged to check. Menino obviously had blowout wins basically his whole career, but 1997 he was formally unopposed, which according to Wikipedia was the first time since 1834. So a mayor has only run unopposed on the general election ballot twice in the last 190 years. Let's...

Final results have a margin of FORTY EIGHT POINT FIVE PERCENT, meaning that 50-point poll was dead on. Yikes.

No of course it makes sense to sublease a turnkey ready space, likely at a decent discount in a basically brand new buildings. Simply from a "finish the project and make the urbanism better" I would've preferred a big new tenant to be the catalyst to get 350 Summer moving. With the millions of...

Fair enough, should have led with for the avoidance of doubt. In any case, would have been a substantially better outcome if (a) Foundation didn't need to sublease their space and (b) Hasbro was the anchor tenant for the currently stalled 350 Summer parcel to get that project going again.

Missed it the last few posts but yeah the core is topped out. This will be mostly complete from the outside in a couple weeks. Super cool progress
