Between this and the P+G announcement today of the new $1 billion HQ on Fort Point, things are beginning to look up a little. This summer, the Seaport will be even more dynamic and lively and the next few years will bring a more vibrant Fort Point.

I can only surmise this development all along has been some sort of tax-loss strategy??????

Drink!

I think that concept would actually be pretty fabulous. Hell, Boston has a major train station/transpo hub with a 50 story building over it. .....and it still doesn't excuse the malevolent design of the proposed industrial storage facility.......errr, swim center.

Wow!!!! According to that, it went from 3 lab/office and 2 res/hotel to 100% res/hotel - - The new diagram is all Yellow, a clean sweep over. Much new 24/7 life to what has been a very quiet area. That's huge, and very needed!!!!

Whoever designed THAT hates Tufts University, architecture and humanity, in general.. .

Again, you hitting that one same piano key with every post you make. Seriously, do you cut and paste this shit? It ain't competing with the Back Bay. Compare it to what is there now, anyone with a working mind will know 752 new units will be a catalyst for future development of shops...

Another solid improvement! Google StreetView as of August 2025...

I believe it's because they own that particular property.

77 Dorchester Street - - Stats Bar and Grille Redev: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/04/business/stats-south-boston-closed/ - - best of both worlds - - they add 13 new units of housing AND the ground floor reopens as Stats, but with 50% more space. THIS is great infill.

Thanks for that. Bloomberg is the best source of actual informative news I know. Other than the Globe and the NY Times, it's the one of the fews sites I see great value in subscribing.

Matching it up with their massive roadways and slavish reliance on cars/trucks???????? Volume of units isn't the entire answer. It is the LIVABILITY and 15 Minute City concept that will be the most efficient and livable future for cities. Unit volume PLUS enlightened urban planning and...

Other than Jeremi, I can't imagine anyone here wanting Houston. However, Olson Pehlke's REASONS of 'Hundreds and hundreds of new cars and people in an area that already has inadequate capacity in terms of roadways, parks, shops, sidewalks, post office and [Trader Joe’s] on the weekend anyone?"...

Good point. Dorchester does seem to relish its architectural ugliness. It's the proud Bailey's sundae of architecture :D

They both feed the central problem of Luddite/NIMBYism. They are the classic motivated transmitter and willing receiver. BOTH are crucial to propogate falsehoods to block human progress, in this case that there would be more parking capacity from this development.

"We need rational, fact-based and community guided zoning, not one-off developer windfalls with ZERO forethought, planning or engagement,” wrote one, Linda Olson Pehlke. She said the “massive up-zoning” would bypass broader planning processes like the Comprehensive Plan, which she is helping to...

This is what it is replacing. Win-Win...

Not sure if any of you have seen this - - pretty cool night - - and two very great videos on the history, etc.:
