    The New Retail Thread

    Well, the building is owned by Nuveen, and they have a billion dollar stock interest in TJX, which also owns Marshall’s and Home Goods. Involvement is indirect. The link I posted about Macy’s was not the last five years, but occurred in less than two years. I also did not say the store would...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    The original proposal included a spire but was chopped because of airport height restrictions.

    The New Retail Thread

    The one on Winter St. closed. The one on Summer Street closed. Went out of business, not moved. There is one at South Station which is not Downtown Crossing and one down by Essex Street is not really DTX either. One left on Washington St. Do you work in the Mayor’s office?

    The CVS closed. If you want to believe everything is so fine there, good for you. We will see what will happen. Most of the places you mention do not look like they are doing gangbuster business to me. I hope for a comeback of the area, because it used to be great.

    Primark got rid of two of their shopping floors. Certainly not a sign of booming business. I Primark closed two of its shopping floors and is about half the size it once was. And the Marshalls, TJ Max and Home Goods have a large part of ownership of the building.

    OK. The Fox News dismiss was from DBM. I will edit. This still applies though. Your angle is, everything fine, nothing to see here. Macy’s has not been hesitant to close stores in declining areas, which sadly is much of the urban US these days. It happens all the time. Look what happened in San...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    This looks like a big fat blob. The BU version looks like it would fit into this location nicely. Thinner is nicer.

    The New Retail Thread

    When I have been in there, customers are sparse and employees do not look very happy. I actually like the store. There are many problems there though.

    Downscale Crossing is a mess. So much empty space. Sketchy crowd much of the time. I would not hold out much hope for Macy’s to stay open much longer. They have had too much trouble in there.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Which is the building they are moving forward with? Residential?

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    The building is moving upward with the concrete construction begun on the final 16 floors. You will see the yellow screens around the top of the building that will continue to rise to rise until the topping out in a few months.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    They probably have to clear the garage first, unless they are incorporating it.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Supposedly there is a 300’ tall residential building to be constructed right next to the existing taller one.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Did they build an extra 10 stories to the building recently?

    View Boston (Observatory) | Prudential Tower | Back Bay

    Probably not too far off. Heard on the news they are looking to hire a lot of people.

    16 years from initial proposal to breaking ground.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Does that make a difference in Los Angeles or San Francisco if they count in the Summer or Winter or wherever?

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    It has gotten worse in even the past couple of years. If it is put up with…you will get more and more of it. The West coast cities are much different and have better weather…people flock to those places…because it was not frowned on to live in the streets. Boston is not gravitated to as much...
