Good find! That would look nice. I'm surprised I can't find this on the BPDA website. The existing building did not look structurally compromised, so it's hard not to think that this part of the project.Sad 2-10 isn’t going to be the taller version originally proposed.
Found this for the demo, hopefully it’s built as is https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/40-William-Kelly-Sq-East-Boston-MA/20458592/
Not sure about branding, but it is still planned as a hotel from what I've heard. My company owns several properties around there, and that's still the word from the construction workers, though they might not know if something has changed.Looks like this project has come to life again. As you can see we have some new windows. Anyone know is this is still planed to be a Loftel Hotel? I'm surprised they haven't converted it lab/life science.

Works for me.
Is that on the site of the old MBTA trackless trolley carbarn?What ever happened to that new East Boston police station?
View attachment 32779
It’s sitting there quietly behind a fence. The lights are on, but nobody’s writing arrest reports.
The $30 million East Boston Police Station, the first brand-new city cop house commissioned in a decade, still sits empty nearly a year and a half after it was originally supposed to be finished. Everything from the soil underneath, the fire-safety systems inside and the trucks for the nearby fish processing company seem to get in its way.
The project, according to the city, isn’t really over-budget; the initial announcement in 2019 was for $30 million, but the contract was for just a bit over $26 million, and documents obtained via records request show that rising less than a million dollars, not a big percent increase for this type of project.
The problem’s less money than it is time. The most recent change order, from June 2022, lists the “final completion” date as Nov. 16, 2021 — yes, seven months to the order’s past — though it extends the pact with J&J Contractors to Nov. 15, 2022. The original date for final completion was Sept. 13. 2021.
For now, the cops of the A-7 precinct continue to work in the decrepit old station on the other side of Eastie near Maverick Square — though the city told the Herald to expect an opening for the new one at 300 E. Eagle St. “in the coming weeks.”

So you can just threaten someone and then….get exactly what you want.Four-story residential building rejected on stretch of Paris Street in East Boston with mostly two- and three-story buildings

Board rejects four-story residential building near Maverick Square as too dense
A couple hours after the Zoning Board of Appeal rejected a four-story, three-unit building on Paris Street in East Boston, it rejected another four-story, three-unit proposal by the same developer on Coppersmith Way near Maverick Square. Read more.www.universalhub.com
New year, another shameful day at the Boston ZBA. Two four-story developments rejected as out of scale with their three-story abutters. One was actually approved, but not by a supermajority as required. For the political process and planning crowd, the city is trying that with PLAN: East Boston to reform East Boston's underlying zoning to make these appeals less likely. Unfortunately, they are getting exactly nowhere and the BPDA had to pause those planning sessions after one of their staffers was threatened. Meanwhile, prices go up and the crisis gets worse. Rinse repeat.

Its at the corner of Condor and East Eagle streets. Historically the lot looks like industrial only, no trolley. This is the same site that Eversource has been trying to get a substation built even though it's a flood zone.Is that on the site of the old MBTA trackless trolley carbarn?
