Also, there was this gold mine of massing schemes summarizing the transformation underway in the Everett Triangle. The images speak for themselves.

I had to check the thread title. I thought I was looking at a CX massing model.

I wish the facade materials at CX were this good.

Could someone explain to me why or how Everett seems to have the gas pedal to the floor on developing residential housing? And that is coming after the casino, etc. They really just seem to be a step ahead of everyone else in getting things moving. Everett used to be a punch line for a joke about dumpy towns back in the day.

Is it due to a lack of organized NIMBY's, the city wanting to fill in vacant lots, developers offering to clean up toxic sites (like Encore), envy over what is going on in Cambridge?

@FK4 asked a similar question in the Everett Infill and Small Developments thread last year, to which I responded the following:

^^ A few other notes about how/why Everett is seeing so much new development:
- As of Right Zoning: Everett’s been very proactive about updating its zoning to accommodate new larger scale development ever since Wynn Resorts got the casino license.
- You know how in Boston there are Impact Advisory Groups, the Boston Civic Design Commission, Landmark Commission, Historic Commission, a million neighborhood groups, 13% affordable housing minimums, stringent DBE requirements, and variance requests for all new large-project developments that can draw out the approval process years (and dollars)? Everett doesn’t have these. Sky Everett, for example, had a 2-month approval process.
- A lot of the new development in Everett is in historically commercial and industrial areas. This makes it less disruptive to existing Everett residents, and is good for local businesses.
- Opportunity Zone: much of the new development in Everett is in a designated Opportunity Zone, meaning it’s much more favorable a location for large multi-family development tax-wise than other areas. It’s not an accident—this is all happening as planned.
-Timing: supply constraints in every municipality surrounding Everett the last decade coupled with regionally high housing demand has made Everett’s comparably low property values ripe for developer interest.

^Unrelated, but I snapped a few of the conceptual renderings Davis Co presented to Everett Planning Board Monday evening. They are in a due diligence period for the tank farm site and could still pull out of the purchase if the upcoming meetings with public and municipal leadership make a redevelopment here seem infeasible.

Nothing up on the Planning Board website yet, so thanks for grabbing those!

Putting this together with the triangle concept upthread, seems like they should be working with Davis to extend Robin Street across the Newburyport Line? I wonder if they can connect Robin directly to Route 16 and pull enough traffic from Broadway to obviate the need for grade separation at Sweetser Circle?

These approval timelines are why Everett is killing it on permits per capita

That new bridge seems like it could be a real game changer in the future.

Building Permit Apps Submitted for Terra in Everett​

“V10 Development has announced the submission of building permit applications for Terra along Spring Street in Everett and expects to begin demo & site work this summer. Approved plans call for 230 apartments, 2,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and a host of resident amenities….”

A little reminder of the current conditions....yeesh. Can't believe how much Everett is single-handedly building the region's badly needed dense new units. An infill CR station would be such a great addition here.

I'm happy for Everett, and am happy that new housing is being built there at a rapid pace. But the massing of the landscrapers does strike me as Stalinesque, such as this example from that historic genre of architecture:

I wish the new developments in Everett could be a bit more broken up, to provide more of a human scale.

Agree smaller lots would make a big difference imo.

I just hope the amenities in these new buildings are centrally located cause otherwise they might want to look into building their own train lines just to get the residents to the building's gym.
