Bates out in Carlisle (yeah, yeah… call it Kimballs if you must) is better than most fancy pants ice cream.

Maybe the added foot traffic from these buildings will help more people stumble upon what has long been one of my low-key favorite buildings in Boston: the B&T Club, a time machine of a building that gives you the feeling you might see Isabella Stewart Gardner herself walking around the corner (though in her day she would have been going there to stable her horse after a trot along the bridle paths of the Fens, not to play racket sports).

Lego cuts the ribbon on new Back Bay headquarters: ‘Boston attracts great tenants’ - The Boston Globe

The Danish toymaker joined with Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu to officially open its new Americas headquarters.

Lego joins CarGurus in the tower that went up last year at the corner of Boylston Street and Massachusetts Avenue, developed by Samuels & Associates. The 20-story, 1001 Boylston St. tower is now almost fully leased, a rare accomplishment in a sluggish commercial real estate market, and an indication of how big tenants are seeking premium spaces over better deals in older towers; it’s part of a broader air rights development that spans the Massachusetts Turnpike and includes a hotel and a Rivian auto dealership.

Does anyone know when the George Howell is opening in this development? The signs say "Spring 2025"...I'm looking forward to that more than any of the other planned retail here!

I saw Steve Samuels after the ribbon cutting last week: LEGO has officially started moving into the building.

Edit to add: I overlooked that themissinglink had already posted the LEGO move update. Sorry, and credit to them for getting there before my post. It was just so random to see Steve Samuels on Ipswich Street behind St. Clement that prompted me to post. Who knew Ipswich was such a major transportation route for the developers of BB/Fens?! lol

Those statues are adorable, but present an issue with handrail continuity.
