Tough to hire and train a population (Springfield area) that doesn't have a recent history/talent for manufacturing. Our state legislature mandated they're assembled here without considering the consequences (or they did, and didn't care). They were also disqualified from bidding by the MBTA...

This might be part of the reason they went with Related/DREAM. They have access to deeper pockets and could be more reliable in getting something out of the ground. Fewer submissions/proposals would prompt me as an owner to select the most stable looking one.

It's that there are less kids. The end of the boomer's generation of kids are finishing up college and high school currently. I brought this up before on here and was dismissed as there's this perception the Boston schools are too good and are immune from be a drop in the number of kids going...

Related to the Union Square branch, they have been having a hell of a time with signal problems there the past few weeks. There have been a good number of extended service delays, and they suspended service today with no shuttle service apart from the 87, and suspended service and shuttled...

Hmm, doesn't look like much progress since February...

I suspect it is top-down construction, which saves you time if you need to get out of the ground quickly. Not the best illustration, but gets the point across: You essentially mine the garage space out while they build up on top of you.

Governor Healey Announces Transformative Economic Development Project in Lowell Draper to anchor the development, bringing hundreds of jobs to Lowell region Draper is looking to build a microelectronics research center to begin the development. Other partners are discussing space in an...

Wouldn't hate it - it'd fit in with the Jenga Tower and Jeanne Gang's tower if it ever gets built, and it might justify the 90k cost to go to BU now..

There typically are protections for newer bridges - I've read this particular bridge in this particular area did not meet the criteria for a retrofit (hindsight is 20/20). To your other point: https://x.com/MattDursh/status/1772605870599238112?s=20

The website you found them on notes their client was Quaker Lane Capital, which was one of the respondents to the original RFP that went out. As noted above, Quaker Lane was not the winning proposal. Leggat McCall was, which has the shorter larger buildings by NBBJ proposed. It's likely Stoss...

Opening date set for March 27! 14k SF $14M 15 years of planning 10 years of fundraising

1001 Boylston is a much better name than Lyrik, in my opinion. I hope this marketing-led naming fad ends soon.

I'm reading that Keolis proposed this through the MBTA Innovation Program?? Interesting...

This all assumes that schools can affordably build dorms. I'm not sure you can make the numbers work on a new-build bare-bones dorm building that could charge a rate comparable to off-campus housing, at least with today's construction costs. Back to the original story, I'm a recent graduate...

Not to get this off track, but personally, this is the level of restoration/rework and timeline I would've appreciated at Copley.

The tenant fitout on this project seems intense. I was taking the Green Line home last Friday ~12 midnight and there were a few laborers on one of the floors...

There must be some pretty cold and strong gusts coming into the building too... those gusts in "open" high rises are no joke...

They are free for the first 24 hours, then behind a paywall. It is definitely corporate ownership. While you can pull up Lyndell's as an example, I think it's more the exception rather than the norm. For the Sligo project, I can't imagine the executives in the UK for Scape really caring if they...

Or it looked better to present in Revit with a few pops of color...

To get a report with suggestions by the end of 2024 sounds like a whole lot of nothing will come of this... (Unless when they're developing the report they realize there should be more urgency here...)
