Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike PARCEL 7, Beacon Street | Fenway
it wouldn't be aB without a healthy dose of cynicism.
It's ok, I am happy to assume my usual role as optimist. This time's the charm, fellas. At least for the terra firma part. Not to mention, the spokesperson says shovels in the ground at the turn of the New Year - that's easily verifiable enough! |

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike PARCEL 7, Beacon Street | Fenway
312 units is a huge upgrade for the area.... But what incentives does the developer have to (someday/ actually) break ground on Phase II?
and what other insanely awesome circumstances would be required to make the megga-project a reality? |

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike PARCEL 7, Beacon Street | Fenway
For those without a Globe subscription, here's the post from MassDOT:
http://blog.mass.gov/transportation/...pment-project/ The Baker-Polito Administration’s Department of Transportation today announced that after nearly two decades of discussions, it has closed on a lease agreement for Phase I of the Fenway Center Development Project, allowing for construction to begin immediately on two buildings which will contain rental housing units, retail and office space, as well as a direct pedestrian walkway to the adjacent Yawkey commuter rail station and a parking lot with more than 1,200 spaces. |

Also, I'd suggest splitting the thread at this point to allow the Phase I buildings (and BeeLine's photo stream) a bit of a clean start while we keep complaining about air rights in here. |

Fenway Center Phase I | ~775 Beacon St | Fenway
![]() http://blog.mass.gov/transportation/...pment-project/ I'd propose splitting a construction thread for Phase I off from what is sure to be an enlivening discussion of the air rights-based Phase II on the other thread. Construction will begin within a week. I've been curious upon seeing this picture if the decking over the CR tracks to get to Yawkey really comes with this phase. I hope it does. |

If theyre still planning that idiotic garage, they can delay another 12 years

IMO it makes way more sense to put a garage right next to the ballpark and two major streets, than force all those people to drive around looking for parking. Ideally part of this project would include a westbound on-ramp to the mass pike but I doubt that is ever going to happen. |

Even at $40 a game, it makes more financial sense to drive in a car than buy round trip commuter rail tickets for 4. If your parking option was the prudential center, then guess what, people would take the train. |

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike PARCEL 7, Beacon Street | Fenway
I thought I remember reading somewhere (maybe here?) that the reason the developer got the rights to the terra-firma plots was with the promise to develop the air plots, and that the reason it has taken so long to do the development was because of this tension.

Someone coming from the south shore can drive to one of the massive garages on the Braintree line. Someone coming from north west can drive to Riverside. People would take "such a roundabout way" if it was the best option. Currently it is NOT the best option because parking near the stadium isnt that hard. Adding 1,200 parking spots makes it even easier, and encourages even folks along the Worcester line to drive in. |

Or, you can pay the 40 bucks and drive in yourself, thus being able to stay or leave as long as you wish, AND stop somewhere along the way on your way out of town if you'd like. Thinking that preventing the construction of parking garages is going to stop people from driving to Fenway is foolhardy. A large portion of fans are always going to prefer that option. |

Re: Fenway Center Phase I | ~775 Beacon St | Fenway
I love that this was broken up less than three hours ago into a "project thread" and a "Phase I thread", and already every single post in the "Phase I thread" except for the very first one is discussing the overall project beyond Phase I...
This is exactly why we shouldn't have multiple threads for the same project... |
