Such charm. Much wow.
More seriously, remember how difficult it was to get the building across the street built b/c there were some brick boxes that happened to be very old where facades needed to be preserved? The ship on high here sailed long ago, fill the gap, put people and $ on the greenway.

Boston Landing C2 (60 Guest Street) is approved by the BPDA and the Hotel has filed and is working through the process. Kind of exciting to see that master plan finish out
Having spent an evening walking along the seaport waterfront, has there been any word, official or otherwise, on the Northern Avenue Bridge project? As far as I can tell the latest action was submissions to USACE for permits in both June/July 2020 and 2021, with no movement since then - The official project website still lists Mayor Walsh, and he hasn't been mayor for well over a year.
Obviously, this was formally launched in the early height of the pandemic, but it seems to have utterly vanished from the FY23+ Boston capital budget. And while I would like to see the design reconsidered, I would like the connection to exist more.

He alleged that a top Goulston attorney secretly advised Stephen Weiner, his partner in an $800 million condo project, as Weiner sought to back out of the joint venture.

Any news on the flatiron-style tower that was being planned for Kenmore on top of Citizens Bank? https://boston.curbed.com/boston-development/2019/12/13/21012399/kenmore-hotel-560-commonwealth
Most likely a casualty of the pandemic.

Given the addition of all of the labspace in the Kenmore area and the development from the RedSox, this would be a no brainer to build here.

Neiman Marcus says Copley Place owner owes it $50 million for failed skyscraper plan
Neiman Marcus today sued Copley Place owner Simon Properties for the tens of millions of dollars it says it's owed for agreeing to move into cramped, inferior quarters to make way for a 52-story residential tower Simon planned to build, then abruptly canceled in 2016. Read more.

I'm not an attorney, but I bet I could propose a win-win solution out of court for both of these parties: Neiman Marcus agrees to drop suit if Simon sells the tower project to Samuels Associates (or someone who similarly knows how to build over the Pike) with a commitment that the tower will be built by X date, and in accord with prior considerations promised to Neiman. Simon will also toss a few million of the sales proceeds back to Neiman for their troubles over the past 6 years. There ya go!

The Globe's story on the above situation:
www.bostonglobe.com
Given what they allege, I wonder why it took them 6 years to sue? My hunch would be the string of articles giving fanfare to the two other successfully launched pike air rights projects in the meantime, plus the policy streamlining that helped make those possible. NM might have initially bought Simon's "we can't do this" rhetoric until these more recent examples materialized. IIRC, we at aB were assuming Simon was balking at the structural engineering being too tough/expensive, but it seems what they told NM was with regard to a struggle to get MassDOT approval -- which is quite a different reason.
Mods: The Copley Place Expansion & Tower thread is locked, so not sure where to post this other than continue the discussion here. Feel free to move.

The retailer said it has lost sales over Simon’s failure to develop a residential tower above the Neiman Marcus store at the shopping mall several years ago.

This looks a lot better now. Going to be a great addition.
Also the way that the ground floor windows can fold up to create additional indoor/outdoor dining space is a great addition for the greenway.
