Ink Block (Boston Herald) | 300 Harrison Avenue | South End

Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

Whole Foods confirmed:

Whole Foods Market (NYSE: WFM) is set to anchor the planned Ink Block project at the former Boston Herald site in Boston’s South End.

The 50,000-square-foot store would be the chain’s largest in Boston. The planned Whole Foods will feature outdoor sidewalk café seating on Harrison Avenue, a wine store, gelato bar, as well as prepared foods and a selection of natural and organic foods. When completed in 2014, the store will be the first full-size grocery store in the South End.

This will be a huge catalyst for this area.
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

The site certainly has a provenance for serving up baloney.

Hi all - I've been lurking here for several months while writing a story about the history of the Boston Herald property for the Globe Ideas section. I learned a lot from the discussion. Here's a link to the story - and look for it in the Sunday print edition!

Wow, thanks for the write-up about the neighborhood! I wonder how many other streets in Boston have names that haven't 'fit' for over 100 years?

That was a great article, thanks. It's sad to think of all the wasted effort razing a residential neighborhood just to rebuild it again over half a century later.
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

Too cool Marstall! The Ideas section is my favorite part of the Sunday Globe. Cool that some of the old, greybeards of Archboston, were able to help you with the story.
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

That was a pretty good read, thanks for linking. I thought it was interesting that Marcel Breuer had a proposal for the site at one point.
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

Most of the windows have been removed, and interior stripped. Demo work is well underway!
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

I walked by on my way home from work the other day. All windows have been removed and there were a couple of yellow diggy-type machines (they don't call them steam shovels anymore, do they?), apparently waiting to start demolition.
 
Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

I know they were posted, but I can't seem to find the renderings. Does anyone have them?
