Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Downtown

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street

Buyer is apparently Fortis Property Group, a Brooklyn, NY company controlled by Louis Kestenbaum and his family, according to it website. Google his name and you get some interesting results. ("Massive Jewish Corruption" and "Developer Has Checkered Past .."

Must be the same Fortis Group that picked up 1 Lincoln St. aka State Street tower for a modest $880 million in 2006.

So it makes sense in terms of them having one trophy property adjacent to South Station... and now another one (albeit where the risk/reward equation is radically different in terms of redevelopment potential and pitfalls) very close to North Station.

Site seems to be about the same size as 1dalton.a slim 500ft could work here

adding close to zero here; just lurking....

FAA looks to be about 650~665'.

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street

Adding less than zero here, but from the Parcel E-8 RFP and the Final Environmental Impact Report on the Dock Square Garage:

Looks as though the owner of the garage had to agree to keep the property as a garage for 20 years following construction (~1980 - 2000).

The Sierra Club wanted assurances that any development on Parcel E-8 would not get in the way of any future depression of the Central Artery. (This letter was written in 1978!)

The Sierra Club proposes building a park on E-8, instead, and including a waterfall to drown out noise from the Expressway, facing it.

Always appreciate a little nazi propaganda with my real estate news. Thanks.

Built in 1980, the 698-space garage is one of the city’s most lucrative, according to brokers, and is likely to be retained.

According to the Globe:

Those plans include re-cladding the building, shrinking the garage to 538 spaces, and constructing a nine-level addition that would “spiral upward” in height to about 194 feet. More details, and images, are likely in the coming months.

I don't know what "spiral" means, but it sure is a good spot for 195 homes.

It means glass or brown box.

The streetwall and greenway here would benefit massively

The stretch from Faniuel Hall to Haymarket is a truly miserable walking experience.

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street

This plus the Haymarket Hotel that's going up will drastically improve this stretch...!

Hope the ground level gets a CVS, Barney's New York, Culture Espresso, and Italian Bakery......

Come on, you know it's going to be a TD Bank.

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street

A bank and a CVS for sure. Maybe a Dunkies.

Boston Biz Journal is calling this a residential tower to be built on top of the Hard Rock Café. I'm not a subscriber so can't read the whole article..

Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street

I have a long held 'crazy pitches' style fantasy in which one or both of the I-93 offramps adjacent to this parcel get reconfigured to surface within the footprint of this garage, thereby cleaning up the 'greenway' deadzone between the Carousel and the North End Parks.

Oh well.
