Isn't this where the proposed Gateway/South Bay tower was to be? I think it was supposed to be ~800" when they initially proposed it back in '07 (or '08?)?
The people talking about that were on drugs.
This is a clear takeoff/landing corridor for runway 9-27. Airspace restriction is not going away!
Also I cant see a developer paying at least 179 million for land for a place he can only build a 300ft tower.
Always what I figured, but I thought maybe there was (a tiny chance of) some horse trading with the FAA or something not publicly known. Kind of funny how it just misses the border though, with the South Station Tower being OK.
Massport is really handicapping the city, there is no working with city at all, the city should stand up to Massport and come up with a solution , between Chinatown,east boston ,seaport and downtown they are hurting multiple development areas in the city.
?
... is there new news?
Better article about this in the globe that mentions Massdot still negotiating about SST, Simons scrapped Copley tower, Fenway center that didn't work...etc etc
Nicely done
Would it be possible for MassDOT to deck the highway from Comm Ave in Brighton to the I-93 intersection, then sell the parcels as immediately developable? Would having a pre-made deck limit the engineering of a new development in any way (assuming MassDot did a reasonable job with the deck)?
The State should get about 80-100 million for this parcel and then use that money to help pay for the decks of the other mass dot parcels.
