Well, if she means they are getting crappy Everett style, quick build 5 over 1s without any kind of street activation, then she's correct. This area should be another Assembly Row, but it doesn't look like that is happening, based on what is currently under construction.

The entire Suffolk Downs development is a huge disappointment. Landscrapers with a horrible street grid. Lots of surface parking. Way to little retail. And the commercial development portion is DOA because it was all biotech labs.

Theres a bunch of retail spaces here unlike everett, theyre just boarded up for now because theres only 1 building so far in the middle of a construction site. All of that pink and blue swirly shit isnt a mural… its future retail spaces. The architecture definitely isnt great, but its not going to be an everett style retail desert.

Good point that there is retail potential there, just not leased yet (for obvious reasons).

Isn't the problem in Everett's Commercial Triangle that the area is a flood plain? They are not doing ground level retail because the first floors are parking to mitigate the flood damage hazard?
 
Facebook is now not letting you copy pictures on their app, more enshitification. Anyways heres a pic of construction.

Do you know the address?


-edit: apparently its 619 winthrop ave revere. I cant find much about it other than it was purchased by hym in order to be able to link suffolk downs directly to beachmont station.

“O’Brien also spoke about 619 Winthrop Street, the gateway plaza to Suffolk Downs from the Beachmont T stop. O’Brien said HYM wanted the entrance to Suffolk Downs to start right at the T station. The company bought the former Beachmont Roast Beef site, which it is upgrading. HYM also plans to reinstall the illuminated tower that once stood on the site. O’Brien also said the plaza could also host retail and food trucks.”


-Also apparently another building called the arden is starting soon

“The Arden, another residential building with 243 units, is also scheduled to begin construction by the end of this year. The Arden will be a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom market-rate units. The seven-story Arden will face Beachmont Plaza and have 12,500 square feet of ground-level retail fronting Suffolk Downs Boulevard.”

-I feel like thatd have to be this building below. Its 6/7 stories and facing the plaza. Plus the unit count is half of portico which tracks with the physical size of the building, its about half its size. So it seems this should be the next project to go u/c on the site.
