    Vertex Headquarters @ Fan Pier | 11 Fan Pier Blvd, 50 Northern Ave | Seaport

    Vertex is absolutely crushing it. They may need more space given the number of bfd drugs they'll soon have.

    1 Taber street | Roxbury

    The city owned parcels where they have X units of heavily subsidized housing cross-subsidized by life science labs which are also paying for a parking garage and many other amenities...

    1 Taber street | Roxbury

    It's going to be darkly funny when the market rate infill all gets built way before the high concept, baroque subsidized buildings along the square proper (on city owned land) get developed. Will be very similar to the SWC in that way.

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    Good catch. Didn't realize there was a suit beyond "working the refs" aka the city dev authorities with their nonsense.

    Watertown Infill and Small Developments

    Salim Furth (Housing scholar @ Mercatus) has pointed out that 44% of Milton voting for more housing in a plan not particularly close to transit is actually a remarkable sign of popularity of upzoning elsewhere. Milton, arguably is one of the least likely places to vote for density, vs say a...

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    Remember, this building was approved then had approvals yanked because the city tree warden complained. Totally bizarre story. The developer, MPDC, has built great urban spaces when they get the opportunity (see the new Madison Park n'hood and Whittier Choice nearby).

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    The three year gap was due to the city jerking them around over some neighborhood land title issues conflating with hyperlocal NIMBYism.

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    If this is like Lightview, the broken up massing might actually work well and give the real appearance of multiple towers clustered together.

    Lab Building (née Hotel Hampshire) | 34-40 Hampshire St. | Cambridge

    Beyond bizarre given the ultra low hotel vacancy rates that it's not a hotel. The prices are insane, esp in Kendall.

    Boston Water and Sewer Commission development | 923-925 Harrison ave| Roxbury

    Second is much better not least for putting the park on the interior not on busy Harrison ave. 383 units is much too few though and it's frankly ridiculous to put purely affordable housing here given how segregated Lower Roxbury is (and how unaffordable the South End is).

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    I wonder if they want to sit on it and sell the dev rights like the constellation center shyster in cambridge....

    Stop and Shop Mixed Use | 1690 Revere Beach Parkway | Everett

    Are there plans to make Revere Beach Pkwy safer to cross on foot?

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    I believe that is part of the bus lanes on BHA plan that is inching towards construction.

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    There is in fact BRT infrastructure that numerous busses use between Blue Hill Ave + Seaver and Jackson Sq, to be extended to Ruggles. Runs right be the Franklin Park entrances. Arguably great mass transit here.

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    The demand for new class A space is quite different from the demand for B/C space...

    Downtown/Financial district infill and small developments

    Strongly agree. Added to this, the immediate incentive of your property taxes falling by 60% from conversion (besides other incentives) is a good reason not to wait for interest rates to drop.

    Roslindale Infill and Small Developments

    Isn't the third track area needed if an OL extension to Roslindale Sq is built (yes I know, CR conversion here is better but the OL extension is on City plans)

    Somernova Campus | Duck Village | Somerville

    It is highly unclear to anyone if Somernova was actually going to be a Greentech space in practice: it was probably branding for what would end up being mostly biotech. Even Greentown labs has a ton of traditional biotech startups. As you note, the climate tech sector is much smaller.
