Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Worth noting: The second, $51 million, tranch of payments to the city is based on condo sales. The building is a mix of condos and office and Millennium still has some flexibility on how much they devote to each use. If they lose, say, 50 feet, they...

Re: 61-83 Braintree st | Brighton Maybe it's beautiful on the inside? Srsly though, this one was modular construction. I wonder if/how that limits what you can do with the design outside.

Nice building. How are they doing on filling it?

What is that on Linskey? Office? Didn't realize they were doing that. I like the old brick building that's there now, myself. And gives a nice contrast with the new stuff. Though it looks from one angle like they're actually retaining/building around some of it?

Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport Is that a good thing?

From the video, looks like ZBA voted to approve.

And then a Rite Aid in to the Curious George Store space. Do it!

Got to think they'll improve bus service from Lechmere into Kendall as part of the Green Line Extension/realignment, yes? First Street will eventually be a through street into Northpoint, which it isn't now. Will make that short trip much easier than the current Lechmere bus station setup, and...

Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport Yeah, all of those projects have actually pulled permits and started construction (they're probably basing off building permit data?) Bulfinch Crossing, in all, is pegged to cost $2B. But it's very phased. And so far all they've really done is...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Millennium's proposal was only 25-50 feet higher than the others (I believe they proposed 750, then filed a PNF at 775, when the stated height in the RFP was 725). That extra height probably helped them offer a bit more $$, but wouldn't have been...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District It was mostly about money (they offered like $40M more than the next highest bid) and Millennium's track record. There was a whole lot of process and public meetings and whatnot last summer, and there were other objective criteria the BPDA...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End It's also a function of timing the opening, right? They may have slowed down so they don't come online too close after Boston Properties at the Garden and HYM's Govt. Center Garage tower. Boston may be hot, but it'd...

Yes, just wasn't familiar with the term. Thanks.

"VE Angle" ?

Facebook's in Kendall now, right. MIT buildings may be too far out, but what's going on in the space Microsoft is vacating on the tip of the triangle?

Oh, GSA was quite explicit throughout they wanted to push a deal on Volpe through before Obama left office. Wasn't about Trump or any GOP president, even, just the normal turnover that would come with new any new administration. Smart. Though given that has transpired since November 8 that...

Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport It is pretty enormous. But, yeah, it's 800-something units. So they'll be expensive.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Some zoning districts in Cambridge, especially in/around Kendall, do have some zoning requirements for local/independent retail. Not sure about those buildings.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport +100 Nobody's advocating for a windowless bucket of blood or bulletproof-glass chop suey joint in the lobby of the Benjamin. But a modest bar like the Sligo - or even the Brendan Behan in JP - literally can not afford to operate in the Seaport right...

Seriously? I ride the T every day, mostly Red and Green, sometimes Orange. Trying to remember the last time I was "hassled" by anyone (and it's not like I'm some big scary dude). Yes there are homeless people here and there, but that's life in the city, and for the most part they're not...
