Maybe, but 1) this is really pricey space for a supermarket or gym and 2) previous analysis in several threads has pointed out that even with full buildout the Seaport is probably light on population to support a supermarket.

Meh. Something like trader Joe's would attract not just seaport residents but Southie ones too.

Trader Joe's is about the right scale for Seaport. I don't think it qualifies as a supermarket. They are pretty dense inside also, so survive in high rent districts.

There's a TJ's going into 13,000 square feet in Allston, in that new apartment building over by Harvard Stadium.

You'd think WS could find 13K square feet for them in Seaport Square somewhere, and you'd think it would do tremendous business.

^ They'll probably do tremendously yuge business with Jyna.

Thanks.

I'm so confused by this project. Is there underground parking? Did they already build it?

They seem to have been doing site prep for half a year but I don't know what they were doing.
 
Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport

John, there will be underground parking. No the parking has not been built yet. They are putting in slurry walls currently. Once that is completed then they should start diging out the underground parking/basement area.
 
Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport

This one also has to dodge the Silver Line tunnel, so the underground works ought to be extra interesting.

Hard to believe this is an 900 Million Project! Maybe its the cost of the parking. IDK
 
Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport

What had they been doing for the 6 months before the "groundbreaking"? If they are doing slurry walls now, what were they doing the last 6 months or so?

It is pretty enormous. But, yeah, it's 800-something units. So they'll be expensive.
 
Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport

Lot's of retail space to be leased as well.
Not all costs to be defrayed by the 800 units.

You think this development will break records for the number of tower cranes used for a single project in the city?
