975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

I genuinely liked the previous proposal, but I realize that was mostly due to how the building looked from above. That doesn't really matter for most of the ways in which people will experience the building. This is pretty good, and we desperately need something to happen here. Build it!
 
I'm just happy it's going to be 5-600ish units instead of the lab + 125. Would have been nice if it was taller, but still hope it happens

It’s not going to be anything! There is no proposal here and no developer.
 
To be fair, Peebles does have something of a credibility problem as far as executing goes.

That said, hopefully the fact that they spent probably serious money getting RAMSA involved in a new design means that they're putting some more serious effort into moving this forward - either way, it's movement where we hadn't seen any in 2.5 years, but given that it's renders only without accompanying filings? I have to admit it's TBD.
 
Don Peebles's fawning wikipedia article was written by user "Kpryles550." I wonder if there any people at the Peebles Corporation with such an interesting name...

It's been five damn years since Peebles first submitted his plan, and it's been one delay after another. This is just another stall, another delay! The city needs to find another developer for this parcel!

To be fair, managing the company's digital presence pretty standard practice for a Communications/PR person. It's also precisely why nobody should trust any Wikipedia article to be unbiased (or even completely accurate).
 
Yeah, that's a bad Wikipedia page. Let's see what I can do ..

Others don't like it either. From the "Talk" section, complaining about an insider writing the page:

Donald Albury's attempts to present false, misleading, or innacurrate information without sources; likely as a PR representative of Roy Donahue Peebles, Jr. Also added an accuracy dispute about unilateral, inaccurate changes by admin "Donald Albury, who removed content related to business transactions, bankruptcies, and even removed the "Jr." From Roy Donahue Peebles, Jr.'so name, suggesting he is a PR agent.
 
Came across this interview that Peebles gave in July.

The relevant quote for this being:
Don Peebles: We’re working on one project in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, which has been the top-performing neighborhood nationally in terms of price per square foot for rentals and luxury condos. We’re looking to do a branded residential development there, potentially with a small hotel component. We’ve narrowed down our selection on branding—ultra-luxury hospitality and residential brands—to five. Our anticipation is that we would begin the permitting process in the fall and start construction in middle to late next year.

I am not holding my breath for either of those time estimates, but at least he remembers that this project exists? :unsure:

Edit: There's also this:
"Raffles Residences and the Four Seasons Residences brought a new level of luxury to Boston, and we’re going to do the same thing and take it a few notches up, in terms of the elements of luxury and privacy, but at the same time, be very compatible with the Back Bay."

Don Peebles has no money and a fake corporation. The state got swindled, monorail style. They need to put this back out to bid before this fraud wastes any more time.
