Speaking of Quincy MA: don’t rule out the possibility of @celtics someday leaving @tdgarden for its own arena in Crown Colony, which is at a Red Line stop & major highway intersection. There’s tepid demand for this Park’s vast office inventory.

From the Seaport to the Fenway, MassChallenge is preparing for its next chapter in Boston.
In a new @BostonGlobe story, @jonchesto explores our move to the Fenway, our role in shaping the Seaport's Innovation District, and what it means to leave the neighborhood where we got our start.
The story also looks at our partnership with Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., how MassChallenge has evolved since 2009, and CEO Cait Brumme's vision to double our reach by 2030.
As Chief of Staff Robby Bitting tells the Globe, Boston's momentum is undeniable, and we're looking forward to contributing to what's happening in the Fenway.
Thanks to Jon for telling the story.

Great move by the RI Breakers. Beyond puzzling why @NWSLBoston isn’t also making the gleaming @CentrevilleBank Stadium its permanent home. Just don’t follow the logic nor biz practicality of White Stadium, in our truly beloved 11 year home of Dorchester.

Missing in all the grand opening hoopla .. the space is CH91 regulated, @jonchesto do we think it principally fits the Public amenities requirement — cultural, recreational, educational, or community facilities that provide a meaningful public benefit. 🤔 bostonglobe.com/2026/10/07/b…

Today, @nickcollinsma & I wrote @USACEHQ on the Boston Coastal Storm Risk Management study. For many years, we have seen the impacts of sea level rise on our communities. Inaction is not a viable option for the long term public safety & economic vitality of Boston! #bospoli

Commercial space users have always seen the financial sense in leasing and most of them do that as opposed to buying. Buying makes sense sometimes. Sometimes great sense, but leasing is the norm. Slowly, residential is following suit. Very slowly.

Calling for a hearing on San Francisco’s reduced affordable housing regulations. Cities are temporarily lowering the affordable % because w/ no housing built in this tough economy, there are also less affordable units. I filed legislation to go back to 13% for 5 years.#bospoli

Grateful to @jonchesto and @BostonGlobe for the coverage of @QUBIC_LABS.
Two weeks ago we asked our community to invest in what comes next. What came back has been overwhelming.

.@jonchesto: MCCA looks to hire PR firm(s)
My take: Given MCCA’s track record of inequities, particularly inside deals w/respect to jobs & contracts, I hope to see 1 or more young firms hired, amplifying a clear msg that under Barros things have changed.

The ultimate leverage generating attempt. Small chance this deal happens. It’s all about Chicago & Illinois respectively sharpening their ✏️✏️. Don’t forget, Robert Kraft had an LOI executed for a Patriots move to Hartford CT years ago. This is #CRE 101.

Privatization of public space for profit — even when violating existing #Ch91 licenses — has been a Conventures trademark.
Has the Globe even once reported on violations? Called DEP asking for permits? Spent a single calorie researching? No. But Regan gets a shout-out. Pathetic.
