Wonderland Developments | Revere

Would be funny if Revere gets a CR stop and Harvard can't get a CR stop at Beacon Yards even if it ponies up tens of millions of dollars.

“Old Wonderland greyhound track spurs new bets: on real estate”

“Newmark Knight Frank will accept offers in mid-September, and hopes to identify a winner by early October. The brokerage is marketing the place as a mixed-use development — akin to what has sprung up at the similarly sized Assembly Row property in Somerville — with offices, apartments, hotel rooms, restaurants, shops.”

-This is not going to be a new Seaport, Assembly, Northpoint... its tiny and far away from everything. Hopefully Kraft is lining this up because this is a great location for the soccer stadium with a patriots place type of deal around it. They could still throw up a couple office buildings here too so its mixed use with a patriots place, that would be great.

The stadium would actually be a positive by making this area the teams home location for a sport growing massively and bringing in thousands of new people for games. It would become a more important area than just being another small office/retail area without much land, and not that great of a location compared to others. Seeing that its so small and out of the way for an assembly type of development, I think the surrounding area would benefit more from a stadium that draws huge amounts of fans for soccer and the venue can also hold converts and other things.

The areas around stadiums are becoming cool spots for fans of teams to hang out even to just watch the game nearby the stadium to interact with other fans. Its making it so if you want to go to bars to watch the game, you have popular spots nearby the stadium that will have a heavy presence of fans. Soccer is a whole different animal too and its only going to grow more and more. I think this would be better for this area than just another small anonymous office park that fades into oblivion in the shadow of much better locations. You can have a little assembly anywhere, you can only have one sports stadium per team. I really hope this finally gets done, Bruce Arenas has said hes pushing hard for a stadium in 5 years, well see.

Stick -- you are massively missing the point

There is as much land at Wonderland as there is in the newly igniting Broadway District on the edge of the Fort Point Channel where several major-league bio/tech/pharma-centric developers are eyeing a Kendall scion

Build the CR -- Blue Line Super Station on the site and eventually extend the Blue Line to Lynn [ for living space for workers] and Red-Blue [DTX pedestrian] and Red-Blue [Charles] for connectivity to the Hub

coordinate the development with Suffolk and you have another place which will be utterly unrecognizable in 20 years -- who knows it could be AI or Nano

Anyway -- soccer stadiums need to go somewhere where nothing else of higher value is a possible use of the land
 
Seaport doesn’t have the blue line, Wonderland does. Yes, Seaport beats Wonderland out in other regards, but that is huge, until hey make the Silver Line more reliable.
