Bill doesn't expect to see much new office space downtown, but tips his hat to Skanska for announcing a new Seaport office project before (apparently) recently snagging PwC as a tenant.
Here is another article referencing PwC moving to Seaport Boulevard.

PricewaterhouseCoopers opted for space in a soon-to-be-built Seaport Boulevard office tower instead of 888 Boylston St., by the Prudential Center Tower, said Debra Gould of Cushman & Wakefield. - See more at: http://bostonherald.com/business/re...rental_rates_shooting_up#sthash.SClU3Ng8.dpuf
What's even more interesting...
Looks like 888 will be on hold for another couple years.
It's offical, PricewaterhouseCoopers signs lease for 330K Sf. Construction of a 440K sf office building, located at the corner of Seaport and Boston Wharf, to start next month.
Seaport Sq. PricewaterhouseCoopers Bldg.

> Also, the rendering has a transparent building on the right side. Perhaps that is the Watermark Seaport?
So what's the thinking if you're a business? "Oh, my employees can drive to work"? Or do they really expect people to enjoy taking the Silver Line bus ... or walking from South Station?
Where is the closest bus stop to this new PwC building at Seaport Square?
From the Bluebook 2010, it looks as though you're including SL1 and SL2 and the "Shuttle" in that total. I've never been able to find out what that shuttle is. Where does it go? Why is it offered? Why is it so much faster than the SL1 and SL2?
The MBTA built a tunnel to run a bus from South Station to the Airport through the Seaport District but then added surface transportation?
