All "luxury" means in Boston these days is "new." If you replace the offensive word "luxury" with the word "new" it all kind of makes sense. Duh, of course new construction on extremely scarce land is expensive. Putting in a fancy counter top and shiny fixtures (i.e. the "luxury" elements) is not what makes these things expensive. There is no non-luxury trim that would make new construction appreciably less expensive.

Don't kid yourself that non-luxury new construction is an option in a desirable neighborhood (we are talking about freaking Fan Pier here) and don't kid yourself that non-luxury new construction is an option in an undesirable neighborhood until the market gets truly saturated and developers are forced to settle for lower margins.

It is not some bullshit marketing hype driving this. It is the market itself.

A land value tax would help developers build what the market wants. That would be a great way for the city to encourage the highest use of land by taking a hands off approach. Everyone would win, except the city's short term tax revenue.

My working assumption has always been this gets done first and the shops in the two-story temporary structure next door move into the ground floor. Then the temp. structure gets leveled and the second building goes up.

Chiofaro towers would look pretty sweet in that last skyline pic.

KZ, how about getting a new line. That one is getting boring.

Politicians, ugly buildings, whores and post signatures all get respectable if they last long enough.

Jeez, the steel sure went up fast.

With the amount of awesome pics he takes, he can have any line he wants! Lol. For someone who gets down to Boston once every couple of years, his pic updates are a welcome sight. :)

Hahaha this is hilarious. Maybe once I find a new favorite movie I'll change it up but until then that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
