Really liking this!

Really liking this!

It is not bad, but it really seams kind of short for that valuable of real estate?

 

[jpdibenedetto]

To me the heights a non factor. Doesn't block any view of downtown doesn't block any view downtown towards SB Seaport. At least it's not trying to be a stump it just is what it is. Sure a 400 foot tower would have been cool but it just aint happenin and I'm sick of every building being the same height.

Better than the rendering.

Hello parcel J: BBJ article on potential legal issues. The article includes what looks like a render, but which I suppose could be a photo of an existing Yotel-- it's got towers in the background that are distinctly not Seaport.

Somebody didn't do due diligence. Hynes concedes he was offering to sell a parcel which includes air rights over MBTA property that he doesn't own. A defense that he has title insurance does not, by itself, defeat an easement claim/right. Is Hynes actually going to put up a building of his own, or is he selling off the parcels, one by one, for others to develop?

Was outside walking the dog early yesterday. J. Derenzo dropped jersey barriers around parcels B, C and it looked like D as well (all the way up to the chapel) on seaport boulevard and northern avenue sides. Stopped one of the guys to ask what was going on and he said it was in anticipation of closing down the lots and tearing them up for constrction. He indicated it was imminent. Not many cars parked there today and it looked like no one new could come in.

B/w this and the memorial it looks like the entire north ave / seaport blvd corridor up to Pier 4 will be well on their way in not much time at all.

The signs for parcels B & C on northern ave say 832 apartments, 240K retail ready for January 2017 (or was it June, I can't remember).

Confirmed. Just walked by. "No parking" signs 9/20 - 10/20 up on Seaport Blvd.

That's awesome. I wish they had extended the glass around the backside, too, but abruptly transitioning from neo-Modernist glass to blank wall of Alucobond is a trend.

What sort of ground floor uses does the Envoy have?

 

[SeamusMcFly]

And this

news article in today's Herald said that a movie theater (new to the area) will be an anchor tenant and that groundbreaking could occur in the next 30 days...

I don't think this has been posted before? Apologies if it has. From Curbed:

 

[lynqueezy]

This will be a game changer for boston once completed. The seaport district will be booming!

Little walk on an overcast evening.

Whoa. This is the first pic I've seen of it where I like it. The glass looks so much better when it's grey instead of that icky, 1950s-cheapo green it turns when the sun's out.
