Can they punch any streets through the building? Is the old assembly plant protected in any way?
The Kmart is a separate building from the rest of the old "Assembly Square Marketplace." It'd be logistically straight forward to tear that part down, and as far as I know there are no special protections on the building.
Hopefully an extended Canal St can also tie into the little "McGrath Hwy" stub between Mystic Ave / I-93 and Middlesex Ave. It would greatly help tie the "Assembly's Edge" lot to the greater Assembly Row area. I'm sure the developers of that project would be thrilled to see the Kmart come down.
