Will be great to get those power lines under ground in the area.

This is pretty interesting how theyre trying to create a mini downtown over here on side roads. Naturally with organic squares they build up at the convergence of main roads and grow over time. Will definitely be interesting to see how this turns out, I think it looks ok so far. Its just kind of weird how its set back from Boston street residential, and mass ave industrial. Its backwards compared to normal squares.

In time it will make more sense if it builds its way over to Mass ave, and eventually crosses to the other side. This will have Mass ave cut between the square and make a whole lot more sense. With the enormous amount of space around here I think its inevitable over time. For now they just needed a spark and it just so happened to be unconventional.

Hopefully the Jan karsicki way extension will start soon as well, that will really tie all of this new development together and to boston st.

Seriously. That one (and similar redevelopments of neighboring parcels) will be what makes south bay really click.
