Nothing promising, but OMA posted some renders: (note the #archives reference, which makes me think this is just a marketing post and nothing indicative of any movement of the project)

Scape's The Bon project is filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection after the landlord it is now suing was allegedly uncooperative. This was Scape's first project following the $1BN investment announcement. By my count, that makes 4 failed Scape projects in the area out of 4 planned, three of...

I used to see reports that removing urban parking requirements (i.e. underground parking) allowed for up to 20-30% cost savings. Cutting parking costs seem to be a major puzzle piece in getting a project more affordable.

Braintree Street has pretty much cemented itself as a non-active, semi-anti-pedestrian street - none of the recent developments on it have included ground floor activation. By extension, since there's nothing to walk to on Braintree Street, Wilton Street is not going to get much foot traffic...

I had a long-winded rant here. Just erased it - not worth it. All I'll say is at the bare minimum, I can only hope a proper safety and security design review is being completed.

Walked by today, and they're starting to excavate deeper with the foundation work. The first set of shoring struts are being installed. A recent article in the Crimson doesn't point to many new details other than an expected December 2027 opening date. A few more images from online:

If you talk to airline employees, we could've used hundreds more hotel rooms since at least the early 2010's. No vacancies across the city left airlines very limited options if flights got cancelled.

We really had it all... :cry:
