Re: W Hotel

Let him sell other property if he needs to finance the completion of this project. There is no reason for any subsidy here.
 
Re: W Hotel

Sawyer owns lots of parking lots in the city including several in the theater district. I doubt that he is talking about the W, what new construction jobs could there be in an almost finished hotel.

I don't know anymore. The stainless on the Sub Zero has fingerprints on it. Depressing.

Come on, you still have stainless on your Sub-Zero? This year's model uses glass. I hear next year it'll be an OLED panel only showing the inside of the fridge when you want.

Re: W Hotel

I'm for the Obama package here:

$900b/300m=$3,000 per person. That might buy half, right?

Re: W Hotel

In March, city may release $40M in loans for construction projects
By Thomas Grillo
Friday, February 6, 2009

Money from Mayor Thomas M. Menino?s promised $40 million in loan guarantees for large commercial development projects could start flowing in early March.

Boston is awaiting approval from the Department of Housing and Urban Development before it can issue the first loan commitments from the Boston Invest in Growth Loan Fund, a HUD-funded loan pool designed to jump-start well-financed construction projects and create jobs.

A handful of developers have contacted the city seeking the money, including three developers with projects in the Theater District: Sawyer Enterprises, completing work on the W Hotel; Hera Development Corp., which has proposed a 10-story office building at 212 Stuart St.; and Kensington Investment Co., proponent of a 30-story apartment building.

?We want projects that are ready to put a shovel in the ground,? said Menino.

Menino announced the loan program Dec. 9 in a speech before the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

I'm... I'm... I'm speechless.
WTF?!

When will the stupidity stop. Please make it stop.

Okay, then. I'll take it one step further than all of you. I want my subsidized unit IN the W, thank you, cuz I deserve it. I've paid my own way, in full, retail not wholesale, for far too long. And I should have had a subsidy decades ago when really I needed it and nobody was there for me and how I've suffered. *sobbing*

I really, am really, profoundly irritated right now.

And I was in such good humor after looking at the Emerson dorm result, too. *sigh* Nothing good lasts forever.

I know things have changed drastically around there. Are those services still readily available in that part of town? :)


Oh, and Kensington, too. Overlooked that. Is that project REALLY deserving too?

Okay, I know. It's just going to be loans.
Flipping out like a NIMBY. It happens to the best of us sometimes. :eek:

Am I missing something?
Some of these projects seem already too long in the tooth and messed up as they were or even too big for these small loans to make a difference.

Good one! But with the way things are going, you'll have Arnold's hand in one pocket and Uncle Sam's hand in the other. Just like on line porn: plenty of stimulation in the comfort of your own home!

Re: W Hotel

This from the street level (Stuart Street) I really think looks nice. At least in the first couple of photos, it reminds me of something you'd see in Midtown Manhattan (albeit, stubbier than what you'd find in Midtown). It's not exciting or unique, but I like it. Maybe it's just the recession in me.
 
Re: W Hotel

Suddenly that swath of roadway is not quite as wide and unforgiving.
 
Re: W Hotel

The jutting plane is too high to provide much protection from the rain. From some angles it appears a bit disruptive.
 
Re: W Hotel

Just walked through the theater district. Or, as I've come to call it, the Combat Zone.

"We're in town for a convention; we love your new hotel! Can you recommend a place nearby for dinner?"

"Er, we recommend calling up for room service. And, when the guy comes up, make sure he shows ID before you open the door."

Yeah, it's a bit rough. Why there aren't a couple cops walking the beat around here is beyond me.
