That one's easy: Sullivan's Tap II, III, IV, V, VI, VI, VII. The original is obviously a prefabricated shipping container inserted into the building envelope, so, plunking down the spin-offs onto said surface lots will be effortless...

The building on the right (127 Tremont) already was: https://www.themontyboston.com/ The building on the left (9 Hamilton) is right on the verge, with construction permits in-hand: https://www.rodearchitects.com/PROJECTS/7-hamilton-hotel

That goes without saying! I'll also remember to bring along a printout of the PNF for the 101 Tremont project, which I just happened to check.... and noticed that it states (Section 1.3; boldface/italics mine): "Once converted the building will include approximately 67,170-SF of dormitory...

Hey do you want to meet up at the Back Deck tonight? It's on West St., just a 3-minute walk from Beantown Pub. It's been there for a decades, a tenant of Suffolk University, at the base of Suffolk's 10 West St. dormitory. We can toast how spectacularly wrong you are! ;)

The City has been planning this for years if not decades--this presentation will be three years old in just a few days (and imagine how many months and years prior to it, the City was working on it, even allowing for any COVID-related interruptions)...

How's your flex capacitor working these days?: https://www.bldup.com/posts/south-station-tower-tops-off P.S. These guys have nearly 700,000 sf of office space to lease, as office vacancy rates edge above 27% in the CBD, and 23% overall in Boston (per Colliers 2Q 2024 Boston office market...

You should make a point of expressing your gratitude, in a lavishly-worded letter of commendation, to the CCC! [You know.... these guys. The paradigmatic exemplar of regulatory prowess, efficiency, and professionalism.]

A typically thorough UHub encapsulation of this project's escalating political stakes. True, this may not be as exceptional as Winthrop Center, in requiring a literal act of the legislature... but it's certainly starting to approach that rarefied atmosphere...

Emphatically not to valorize developers (nor their opponents), but, development can be a brutal game, in which some players get absolutely hosed by exquisitely poor luck/wretched timing... so much for "unlikely," eh? September 2021: "In the unlikely case Leggat’s 40 Thorndike is a flop...

For a column that is allegedly about bike lanes on Boylston Street, McGrory sure spends a lot of time talking about everything one could possibly discuss in relation to Boylston St., except bike lanes, doesn't he? (And so, a guy gets to wondering: maybe, just maybe, that's because he has zero...

I hear what you're saying, but, of course, from a sheer logistical standpoint, this is a ridiculously easy commute. 630 miles from Logan to Wayne International; I just checked; a 70-minute flight, realistically. Which is to say (as ridiculous as it is), probably the same amount of time as...

I'd say your historical amnesia is astonishing--but then of course I'd be willfully ignoring the fact that all you ever do is spout asinine MAGA/Fox News talking points. The great fiscal crisis for America's cities is now.... (checks notes)... FIVE DECADES IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR. To cite...

I saw this get publicized briefly on some news aggregator recently and I don't think it's been posted here before: https://transitcosts.com/ Key takeaway (boldface/italics mine): "Why do domestic subway and light rail projects cost more and take longer to construct than similar projects in...

That is precisely false. If you checked out the PLAN Downtown timeline, you'd see that the Wu administration, after reviving PLAN in November 2022, has since hosted 14 different public meetings on it. I'm not at City/Planning Dept. staffer and thus carry no water for the administration, but this...

Although I'm still not sure what point you're getting at, I will defend to the death your right to reference Spinal Tap, anywhere, anytime, on this forum, no matter how flimsy the pretext. "It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel"

All towers everywhere are by definition "tumescent"--they stand tall and erect. Otherwise, they'd collapse (or they'd not in fact be towers, but would be gas stations, or big-box econo retailers, or mortuaries, or whatever...). Thus, I'd love to hear the explanation of how "tumescence," instead...

The fact you pointlessly blended in discussion of the Downtown Boston residential apartment market with the Downtown Boston office market, as if there was any connection whatsoever between the two when it comes to your current hyperventilating rant, demonstrates the (as usual) substance-free...

What a wonderfully--yet depressingly--illuminating overhead view you've shared. Look at how many surface lots there are in that capture--at least eleven! So, yes, certainly agreed, the Dyer/Dorrance corridor is crying out for more density, more urbanism, anything other than the vitality-sapping...

Note, for the record, both locations are essentially equidistant--just 1,800 feet, so not much more than a 5-minute walk--from where the tall timber is clustered around Kennedy Plaza. However, whereas the density remains fairly high along the Broadway St. corridor between this spot and...

Because RIDOT is still facing intense backlash/bad optics from the (perceived) white elephant that is Wickford Junction? (I mean, it can't be as bad as Studio 38...) What kind of ROI, in the most generously holistic sense, is RI getting on that transit center, do we think? Strictly in terms of...
