The ZBA approved it unanimously in 2023. Next step, to the best of my knowledge, is: "'The next step, she said last week [in Oct. 2023], is submitting the intensive 'One Stop' application to the state’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (formerly called the DHCD or...

Yes, you are correct (on both counts, sadly; I'm pushing 50, so I'm hoping maybe in my child's lifetime?).

Agreed, though it's also worth noting that, at some point in the not-too-distant future, there's going to be 'mid-rise towers' (by Boston standards) flanking much of SS's length to the right of the tower. Will be interesting to see how those structures look from that vantage point:

Justbuildit: While you snapped this good picture, is there any chance you saw what the current conditions are at the nearby MXD Residential Tower under construction at 121 Broadway? No activity on that thread since early October.

Or, perhaps message the original poster to ask them to make the easy change; takes just as much time as posting to everyone so Charlie can add a 'rolling laugh' emoji, much as I appreciate you drawing attention to my having dyslexia.

I apologize if this has been posted before, but apparently there's a proposal to replace a 3-story office building (pictured below) with an 11-story lab. Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any plans to preserve the facade (there absolutely should be, in my unsolicited opinion)...

It's a multi-building project. The large structure is between 120 and 150 rental units (I've read conflicting info). Info about the project, along with a diagram of the site, can be found here...

The 'Capital Square' (Mass Ave & Lake St) mixed-use building was approved by the Redevelopment Board a few days ago. The version that was approved is below, with these exceptions: the arch is being removed, and the non-brick cladding will be lighter in tone. The brick will be authentic...
