Yeah, being brutally exposed [in 2016] for using said enteprise to mask the running of a $100 million Ponzi scheme, then (in 2017) being arrested for tax fraud, and (in 2022) finally being indicted, and now facing FIVE YEARS in federal prison as a result of some truly Bernie Madoff/Sam Bankman-Fried style behavior . . .

[checks notes]

. . . that might constitute "one reason or another"?

Wow, that's ridiculous... to say the least. I can't believe I never heard about all of that. Thanks for providing context!

That's the State Police Barracks Modernization:

Massachusetts State Police - Lower Basin Barracks Modernization

Development of an estimated 14,900 square foot State Police barracks consisting of adaptive reuse of a historic structure and an addition.

I'm not sure if there's a thread, but this is a DCR park development. This is adjacent to the new Gronk (yes, that Gronk) Playground: https://www.mass.gov/doc/gronk-playground-25-design-public-meeting-presentation-2023-2-16/download

The DCR Park project is further south.

I wonder if this hotel proposal has anything to do with the stalled 380 Stuart Project? It seems like it would be more difficult to market those commercial views when most views might be severely limited now. For the record, I like this hotel proposal much better than the Skanska office building proposal.

Hopefully 380 Stuart can come back revised taller. The plateau over there is really about to get so much worse with the Stanhope hotel and Back Bay garage towers

I doubt 380 Stuart can go much higher due to the 1990 shadow law. I wouldn't be surprised if it was proposed at max height from the start.

One of the planned Back Bay garage towers could maybe receive a height increase without violating the shadow law, but I can't say for sure.
 
Anyone know what's going on with 10 Stack Street? Got approval in 2019 and the official website still says under construction, Q1 2024 delivery. That said, since some early excavation/construction work on the site, all construction seems to have stopped and there haven't been any updates on sites like loopnet or bldup since. I'm curious as I might want to move this one to "on hold" for the skyscraper page database.

10 Stack Street | Hood Office Park | Charlestown

Not sure if this should be part of Hood Office Park thread or it’s own new one. Per Buildup: ‘A building permit valued at $117m has been pulled for 10 Stack Street in Hood Office Park. The upcoming 345,000 sf building will accommodate a range of office and laboratory uses.’...

With Baker gone, any possibility of Healey and her administration repealing the ridiculous shadow law? Feel like that's a huge hinderance on housing development in Boston as a whole that is just another asinine Massachusetts thing. Take a look at NYC. Central park south has super talls and the world hasn't ended there. end rant.
