Fenway Infill and Small Developments

Sooooooooo...does anyone know the status of One Kenmore Squrare? Last time I walked over there, I didn't see any construction, and something tells me that John Rosenthal doesn't have the private financing as much as he made it out to be in the press. I also know that according to the MBTA, Rosenthal and the T were in a scuffle over the construction phases. Rosenthal wanted the T to close Yawkey if the project could speed up, and Pescaturo said "Nope."
 
I would be surprised if he broke ground before the 3rd or 4th quarter of next year.
 
But where will people go to get scalped by ACE TICKET COMPANY now?!
 
Don't worry, Lurker. I walked by plenty of vacant retail along that section of Brookline Ave. today.

^^ Of course, Ron. I'm being snarky, as I have to deal with the roller-briefcase types a lot these days...
 
LOL @ that back and forth


What's a mid-priced hotel? Best Western?
 
When that was first built, I recall it was called the "Children's Inn" since it adjoined Children's Hospital.

Perhaps, but also a place for out-of-town family of hospital patients to stay, within walking distance of the hospital.

There must be nowhere so depressing to work as a hospital hotel. Imagine being the one forking over the bill to the family who just watched their grandmother/son/close friend die.

That's material worthy of Raymond Carver. Or Doug Coupland.

Yeah. It's rough. The concierge ended up having to console my mother after my grandma died at Beth Israel before the rest of the family arrived. At least they give you a discount if you are staying there to visit someone in the hospital, otherwise the rate is $229/nt for a really crappy hotel room. Might as well just fork over the extra $70 and stay in luxury at the Marriott CP for $299.

Is Puma moving again?

I don't think it's even opened yet. I recently read that they're still waiting for the city to issue the proper permits.

They should already have all the permits they need since they were open on Fan Pier in 2009.
