This area is about to get very dense and even more TOD, once the space with the failing strip mall with BK, Subway, Rent a Center, and Rockland Trust and empty parking is sold off and turned into denser 4/5 story retail/residential.

Exactly. I think the past 3 years I've been here, the opening soon poster outside and wait has been going almost the whole time. Seemed pretty DoA. I liked the concept as well

As of now - there is empty space at 2-10 Maverick Square in the ground/2nd floor restaurant space with no update of a tenant - I assume some stalemate of high rent or something, or liquor license issues. Cafe Gloria on Maverick Street, is still seeking fundraising from customers à la...

Another 4 story stuck in on the quiet little dirt road in Eastie that could, Geneva St. I love how this quiet, private, dirt street is developing densely

Front and back of a newly squeezed in Everett St 4 floor residential close to Maverick Square and the East Boston Greenway. Fun fact is this is abutting a couple of private way alleys, one of which is grass/dirt that leads to a footpath that goes through Eastie Farm. This is among a couple...

This has been one brewing for a bit, which I'm not sure if anyone has gone through. This only fits in this thread, in my opinion - a median-(concrete?) pole-supported elevated (some points with w poles on sides) rail (similar type rolling stock to K/Crenshaw line in LA) from Beachmont down 145...

This is kind of a crazy one mainly for the legwork and lack of necessity. Just an exercise on space and transit routing improvement. My crazy pitch here is to build a stop-short Cambridge MBTA Commuter Rail terminal on part or all of the current north side maintenance yard. Connect this with...

This is beautiful and maybe deserves its own thread! We need to keep building higher and keeping retail on the first floor on these 1 floor retail plazas! Now, if the red line could be faster and the Old Colony Lines with double-tracking and electrification (more on that in the appropriate...

From East Boston 6/24

Saturday 6/8

Taller than a 5 over 2. The disgraceful height in this quaint neighborhood! And the wasteful spend!

A future MBTA stop? Maybe wishful thinking of "build it and they will cone", but I always love seeing the zeal of including features of future transit extension proposals in renderings. We'll see

This is kind of an incomplete thought I'm still mulling over - but (please don't crucify me) - if developers are going to strongarm cities into never building anything more than the bare-minimum cost (when most of the units aren't sky-high in cost), does it at all help to at least encourage the...

Does the grade of Broadway allow for a street/median/shoulder-running LRT?

I don't recall how recently this has been proposed/crayon-ed, but just based on the high-density sections of South Boston and the South End, there's a crazy corridor for a light rail line along Broadway from City Point/Broadway @ P St, to Back Bay, making stops at L/Broadway, Dorchester...

So I take away a lot from the article, but they also embed this article which truly relates to the article in engineering too: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/why-skyscrapers-are-so-short/. My main takeaway: we can build cut n cover much more cheaply and we know of economic and legal burdens...

Interesting office to residential changeover in a burbs office park! https://www.bldup.com/posts/180-units-planned-for-marlborough-office-site?utm_source=BLDUP.com+Customer+List&utm_campaign=87c74e06bd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_06_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-87c74e06bd-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

Also, I think that this would be the better place for this: the 104 rerouting not only helps the underserved communities of Everett and Chelsea, as well as the underserved Eastie-Chelsea-Everett corridor, but it's travel down the new 2nd St ROW next to this / 2nd on Vine / Anthem, along with the...

I can't find this anywhere, but with there being another 2000+ residents between this, 2nd on Vine, and the hopeful Sky Everett right next to each other. And the new Chelsea/Everett buildings near Everett Street, and the other new buildings like Anthem and Pioneer, what retail and essential...
