Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels)

I really miss the kind of playgrounds we had before litigation became such a concern.

That looks sterile and depressing.
 
This does have a see-saw though, which you rarely see because they're so "dangerous."

Here is another article referencing PwC moving to Seaport Boulevard.

What's even more interesting...

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

Looks like 888 will be on hold for another couple years.

This looks promising. I like this rendering but I also liked Waterside.

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.

Very exciting. The rendering confuses me though. Is the building supposed to be bounded by Boston Wharf Road, Seaport Blvd and E. Service Road? Or is it just half or so of that description, so bounded by BWR, Seaport Blvd and remaining parking lot to its left (if you were facing it)? The entire front half of that lot is roped off and closed to parking, which makes sense given imminent construction.

Also, the rendering has a transparent building on the right side. Perhaps that is the Watermark Seaport?

I also noticed a soil test vehicle and some other light equipment on the sausage parcel this morning.
 
Has anyone seen this yet?

A missed opportunity for Parcel K? Or something still somewhere somehow in the pipeline?

EDIT: Well well, these may actually be the renders for Parcel K, more views here on the landscape designer's site. This is for Watermark/Skanska, as it appears the parcel was sold to them for development. Please correct me if I'm wrong?

Did not realize PWC had some many employees in their Boston office.

This is the second Big 4 firm to get some new digs.

Either way it's nice to see another building begin construction. Slowly but surely things are starting to fill in.
 
I am wondering if/when BSC is going to open a location in this area. With the influx of workers, it seems like a logical move.

It's probably their future residential component. From the article:
"Skanska and partner Twining properties plan a residential development next door with 346 apartments and additional retail space, according to the Globe."
 
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?

I guess the 15,000 people taking the SL every day are not real people?
 
Give me more info. That's from South Station to Airport or on all five lines of the Silver Line?

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?

Why does the MBTA run a street-level shuttle when it has a Silver Line bus line on the same route?

http://www.mbta.com/uploadedfiles/documents/Bluebook 2010.pdf

I'd correct your number by saying 15,000 people aren't riding the Silver Line to the Seaport District. 7,500 people are going round trip to and from South Station.

Also, I'd subtract the "offs" who come in from the airport to the Seaport District - those aren't employees but people coming in from out of town. Likewise, I'd subtract the "ons" who get on the bus in the Seaport District and head to the airport. Those are business people on their way back out of town.

Where is the closest bus stop to this new PwC building at Seaport Square?

The Silver Line shuttle runs from South Station to Silver Line Way and back.
 
The MBTA built a tunnel to run a bus from South Station to the Airport through the Seaport District but then added surface transportation?
