Can anyone attempt a timeline on the land sale, design tweaks, 15 min self-financing + the lucky bankers chosen, 60 day Article 80 review, and Bldg Dept final approval?
I like where your head's at, that would be intriguing to contemplate... just don't oversimplify in your enthusiasm. Along with all the above, you still need:
1.) The actual ZBA hearing where the variance is formally granted. Yes they got their exemption with the shadow law amendment thingy... but they still have to go before ZBA to get the parcel use changed from garage to mixed-use office tower or whatever the proper classification is. From there it would go to ISD, I believe ("Bldg Dept" as you style it)
2.) All the crap with the state: MEPA, any other regulatory entities.
3.) BPDA, BCDC, but also the whole gauntlet of city regulatory sign-offs: BTD construction management plan, BWSC, BFD, any other entities like that that need to sign-off.
Where are the dozens of construction trucks going to hang-out, if they're not parked inside the fencing on the Federal St. side or Winthrop Sq. side? I kind of doubt Post Office Sq. Park will let them spin wheelies on their immaculately manicured lawn...
... Remember, in contrast, Millennium Tower was "easy" because a huge quantity of their construction apparatus could be left chillin' out on the plaza itself, w/o requiring street closures/lane reductions. No such luck here.
