East Boston Infill and Small Developments

[Downburst]

A lot of the "tax payers" never were taller. They were frequently downzoned before they could grow taller and it made redevelopment uneconomical. You need ~6 stories of housing often to be worth losing the retail space while you rebuild iirc. You see this a lot in Allston-Brighton eg the one story retail next to the 6-7 story apts.

This is helpful! Thank you. Sorry for the digression, folks.

So (and I may be late to the party), I finally learned what’s going on on Pier 1 in front of Portside:

JPNA Approves Eastie Landing’s Tall Ship Liquor License Plan | East Boston Times-Free Press

At its February meeting, the Jeffries Point Neighborhood Association (JPNA) voted to support the Navy…

www.google.com

The gate was open and I walked down and took a look while on my run. It looks great, it’ll be a huge patio space and the container stalls look great. They’ve done a ton of work in recent weeks. I can’t wait to see what the ship’s bars look like. I’ll try to get some pics next time, it this one is super exciting.

East Boston could get a new flatiron building

The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved a three-story, seven-unit triangular building at the intersection where Ashley Street slides into Boardman Street on the way towards McClellan Highway. Read more.

Doesn't look too bad at first glance. 426 new units proposed along the East Boston Greenway on what are currently parking lots. Final product would be about 1 parking space for every 3 units and 16.5% affordable. All residential units above projected flood levels.

.. Interesting.. I was not even aware of such a thing as the East Boston Greenway

I remember driving to the East Boston waterfront about ten years ago and being stunned seeing empty lots and abandoned looking buildings and wondering why this hasn’t been developed yet. It’s hardly recognizable now!

Something about the combo of bay windows and nü-motif McDonalds cladding strikes as spectacularly ugly here.
