Amazon continues to explode in growth and development… They just keep getting bigger and bigger. Amazon’s original Headquarters is in Seattle Washington. Amazon HQ2 is a project under construction as sister HQ in Arlington Virginia. Amazon originally announced the new global headquarters back in 2018, and they designed it like a 'fake' competition for different cities to bid on. After proposals from cities around North America were submitted to explain why each city is a good choice for Amazon, Amazon made the decision. Phase 1 will complete in 2023. The whole thing will have various office buildings, parks, educational space, fulfillment centers, and shops.
The first phase is Met Park opening mid-2023, and the second phase is Pen Place right across the street where the Helix should be breaking ground shortly after the grand opening of Met Park.

    Growing up in MA, Boston was always the place to be, and since moving away from MA I appreciate even more just how awesome the city itself and the metro is. One of my absolute favorite cities in America. Albeit, I am 25, so everything I remember about Boston is post-big dig.

    I worked in Seaport and while it's beautiful and full of vibrant young people paying $4,500 for a studio apartment--it's a complete nightmare to get in and out of because there is no infrastructure. There is little to no public transportation (and spare me about the silver line). There are basically two bridges that become massively gridlocked every day. Seaport is inaccessible for the average person. (There is almost no public/street parking and the parking garages charge $40+) Unfortunately, Seaport did nothing to solve any of Boston's problems. But... it is pretty.

    It's a "neighborhood" that has enough asphalt to ensure massive flooding in surrounding areas. They missed a chance to have a true neighborhood.The "from scratch" brag misses the point.This was a wasted opportunity to do something truly smart. Many of the offices in this "innovation" district are sitting empty. It looks like Beijing. This is not Boston,This development thumbs its nose at Boston and its people.

    Boston learned lesson from man whose family left Massachusetts for Salem in 1700's. Geoffrey Massey did much of same when Vancouver had opportunity. With Rockies as background for sculpture of skyline, liveable neighborhoods not ruled by vehicular traffic congestion. Drew a university on mountain top free from distractions and barriers to thought processing by student's,faculty, & support staff.

    From the updates I've monitored, NONE of the predetermined targets for economic activity promised by Amazon has been reached and therefore none of the incentives promised by either the Commonwealth of Virginia or Alexandria have been given to Amazon. It hasn't cost the governments anything thus far, but it hasn't generated the economic growth promised either.

    I was there last Saturday, the design is indeed incredible but the building stands half empty. Half of the shops are not opened and there were very few people provided that it was Saturday afternoon. It is quite a distance from metro station, maybe that’s the reason? After that I went to Jing’an Temple area and it was bustling with people. I am a little afraid that it won’t survive, or just stays as a white elephant. Without people buildings, even the most astonishing ones makes no sense

    Developers were salivating over this land for decades. Luckily, Boston officials kept their cool and prevented unsightly over development for quick money. Buildings were kept low - largely to not affect the airport, but also consciously so as not to create a bunch of dark wind-swept tunnels. Height restrictions and open space requirements were developed to keep the area at a livable scale. So it might not look impressive from a distance, especially to those who think having a towering skyline is somehow meaningful (it's not), but for modern rapid development, it's impressive at a human scale.

    LOLOOL **New HUDSON's YARDs*??? WTF... Do your research. The first urban regeneration of a Brown Field Site is "Canary Wharf" in London, UK. It has been replicated globally. La Défense in Paris, France. Canary Wharf was start almost Forty Years (40) ago. You are comparing a tiny transit centric redevelopment on a Brown Field Site... to Hudson Yards!?? Hudson Yards are nothing more than a Johnny Come Lately - there are 1000s of Cities that each have had bigger, better, faster, and more extensive than a pithy redev adjacent to a railway station. Yet another person who thinks ... Border of the USA = world ends because 'there be dragons' everywhere else on Earth. LOL haha
