The CLF was so asinine in this case, this project is tearing down a non-compliant building and replacing it with one that expands access to the waterfront. It should have been aligned with the CLF's goals, but instead they stood in opposition.

The CLF can say they speak for "the people of Boston" all they want but they don't. They speak for themselves and their rich donor(s). The power they wield over development in Boston really is gross perversion of the process. |

I didn’t realize how many lux/high-end hotel chain-branded condos (or hotel/condo mix) there are just in the middle of Boston. Just immediately off the top of my head, I can think of: - Intercontinental - Ritz Carlton - Four Seasons (2 of them) - Mandarin Oriental - Raffles (est. 2021) - W (to a lesser extent) There are probably others. Is it only logical to ask when and where we may be getting the Waldorf residences? |

I'm guessing it's to appeal to "new money". Old money wears their designer labels as a discreet tag on the inside. Conspicuous consumption isn't that classy.

Disregarding the label, i'm just happy that this is moving forward. As rendered this is good architecture, if it looks anything like the renders it'll be the best looking building in the Seaport.

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport
Have to disagree with this. The services, security and discretion that you receive at a Four Seasons or a St. Regis is what's most appealing to old money especially. Yes, new money likes to flaunt it and feed an ego by staying at the most exclusive (and expensive) building in town but in Boston, most of the wealth is established and discrete. The vast majority of buyers at the new Four Seasons are local and would not want their names in the paper.

Re: The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport
Interesting that this came out, but still no estimated start date for construction. Or at least demo of WP + ABG.

Re: The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport
I am familiar with very high-end condo residences which, when finished, will be managed by a hotel chain. I saw the proposed staffing for these condo residences, and when all was said and done, the number of staff was about equal to the number of condo units. Some of the projected salaries were six figures. I joked, 'Well, I can afford the condo, but I can't afford the condo fee.' Which was a take on JP Morgan's "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it."

Holy Cow. i hadn't considered the numbers could go that high.
Good for them though for wanting to keep the unwashed proletariat masses confined to the docks. ![]() |

My understanding is that the hotel guests would not be allowed to avail themselves of any amenities unique to the condo residences. The garages are completely separate, so some may be of the view that the condo owners need never mingle with the hoi polloi who are spending $1,000+ a night for the hotel.

The hotel and condos just opened at Assembly are very similar. Shared amenities etc.
