Better to have some activities than just a parking lot, but man does Ballers give some really bad signals about completing those last two towers...
 
Saturday the place was packed and very festive.

Massport picks local marina owner to redevelop North Jetty site in South Boston​

Massport has picked a developer for 16 acres alongside the North Jetty in the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park.


“After previously failing to hook a redeveloper for one of the last empty parcels on the South Boston waterfront, the Massachusetts Port Authority has landed a big one for its North Jetty land.

On Thursday, the Massport board voted to designate Boston Marine Terminal LLC, a firm owned by Chuck and Ann Lagasse, to redevelop the roughly 16 acres via a long-term ground lease and to rebuild the crumbling 800-foot-long jetty alongside the site. The couple already owns several marinas along Boston Harbor under the Ocean Havens brand name, most notably the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina in East Boston, which it staffs with ship-repair crews.

As with the East Boston shipyard, the Lagasses plan to run a ship repair and maintenance operation at the North Jetty parcel, which is at the end of Fid Kennedy Avenue at one of Southie’s outermost tips, at the eastern edge of the Raymond L. Flynn industrial park. They’ll also run a freight operation, loading and unloading cargo that doesn’t fit in the typical 20-foot long containers that get hauled in and out of the nearby Conley Terminal.

Roughly 450 people work at the East Boston shipyard. Chuck Lagasse said it’s possible another 400 could end up at the North Jetty site to augment that work…….”

the city could never get it quite right at City Hall Plaza, I've seen it done much better in Chicago and Philly and I've heard NYC also has good christmas season markets. Good to see that someone could make it happen in Boston. The snowport is very popular.
 
Honestly it does seem like a good use of space. We don't get a lot of thin buildings anymore like that.

Though, "architecture towards neutral" is an almost too on-the-nose indictment of the state of architecture in 2025, lol.
 
Unless this is the most recent design, I remember hearing somewhere that the entire building is getting cut in half.
