Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

Does anybody know if there's a plan for this tiny parcel in front of the Convention Center hemmed in by the railroad tracks, Summer Street, and World Trade Ctr Ave? Is it even buildable?

It just seems unnecessarily depressing looking for a relatively prominent location and from Streetview it looks like it hasnt changed in 12+ years. Even a little landscaping would go a long way.

it's an air rights parcel (D1)

and to your point, hopefully something is proposed soon...the only remaining Massport parcels to develop are H (already proposed), Housing on D Street (part of core block, already proposed), and parcels D1 and D3 (neither proposed)

The part labelled core block (former waterside place) has been further broken up to where now the proposed residential building is at parcel d-4.

Walked around the Seaport and couldn’t help but notice that the outdoor restaurants, cafe’s, and a beer garden were mostly packed with diners! I really love how the Seaport is evolving. And I only walked in a small area.

Fantastic photos! From the above two images, the Goodwin and PWC buildings are pretty awful. I'm hoping the hotel/residential parcel next to the ICA allows something interesting to break up this glass box view. The rest of the architecture isn't stunning, but it's at least varied in texture. Those two glass boxes do nothing to enhance the area in my opinion. (Although, I will give them points for ground floor activation, which is VERY important.)
 
-I remember reading about Reebok moving out of the building only 5 years after they moved in their HQ, but I didnt know they were now converting the offices to labs.

Mods, move this if posted elsewhere. I did not find a thread for it. Globe article published on august 1.

Post deleted, as the Globe article can be found on the Tishman Speyer 232 A St thread.
