Poll - Will the Winthrop Project be built?

bosdevelopment · 11-14-2006, 05:22 PM

I hate to be a negative nancy but will the Winthrop Tower ever be built?

KentXie · 11-14-2006, 05:28 PM

I'll just be optimistic and say yes.

M. Brown · 11-14-2006, 05:39 PM

I honestly don't know.

Does it help that the proposal was initiated by the mayor?

type001 · 11-15-2006, 07:33 AM

I think that it does, and I think that this will definitely get built.

Something will be built. It will not necessarily be smaller than the current proposal, but it will probably stlll be different in some way. Your poll doesn't provide this option, so I didn't vote.

It's my pleasure to look into my infallible crystal ball and say yes this is definately going to get built. The city and state are finally starting to realize that it's swim or sink, treading water just doesn't cut it.

I went ahead and deleted a remark that was way out of line , as well as the bickering that followed it.

Just a heads up: From now on, all the petty, childish bullshit gets deleted.

Yes, Belkin will get 1 billion + backing in place somehow. This may include selling his NBA Franchise. Steve Belkin is a location fox, and planned his purchase of the adjoining parcel perfectly	25	60.98%
No, the fact that only one design was submitted is reflective of site's lack of potential profitability	4	9.76%
Yes, but a scaled down version of the design will be built, similar to what happened with SST	12	29.27%
