Re: Hayward Place

I don't have pictures but I walked by the area tonight and they fenced the whole area off and all the asphalt has been dug up.
 
Re: Hayward Place

Yet another one to follow and photograph. Suddenly it's 2007 again!

Menino: We're supposed to get alot of snow this winter. It could be an ionic season: we're talking splitting the uprights ionic. I need more snowbanks.

Millinium Partners: What do you need us to do? Anything to please the development god.

Menino, stroking a cat: Dig out the basement in November, and we'll dump snow in there in the winter. Then you can resume in the spring and you shall receive tax breaks.

Are there existing spreadsheets? There are Google Maps out there, aren't there?

Here's my mock-up of a spreadsheet. I'd like to keep it visible to all but editable by members of ArchBoston.

Thoughts?

Re: Hayward Place

I was down in DTX yesterday. The Paramount is a bright beacon on a dismal day.
 
Re: Hayward Place

Millennium Place/Ritz looks beautiful in that first shot. Photo clarity is spot on. It generally doesn't photograph well.
 
Re: Hayward Place

Digging is slow, lucky for them and Menino, they have not needed a snow bank yet. Hopefully the snow won't fall until they have a nice bank ready.
 
Re: Hayward Place

The tax abatement, sweetheart deal & financial shenanigans behind this parcel have been documented in the press at various times, most notably in a 2007 column by (then-) Boston Globe columnist Steve Bailey.

We can only hope that, as the Mayor promises, the project comes back on the tax rolls once it's completed.

Details below, if you're so inclined.
