So, the Herald is going to sell its building and (more lucratively) its six-acres of land.
The Globe story on the announcement includes this paragraph:
Other developers are also looking at the neighborhood. A city official who requested anonymity because no official action has been taken said developers has shown the Boston Redevelopment Authority a preliminary proposal at a neighboring site, at 275 Albany St., to build a 25-story complex with 290 housing units and a 150-room hotel.
It makes it sound as if it’s a secret what’s going on around there.
Um, no.
The property at 275 Albany Street is the <<< parking lot next to the >>> old (1970) Teradyne building, sold last year to Normandy Real Estate Partners.
Everyone assumed it was going to be redeveloped.
Mostly, because that’s what the developer itself has been saying on its website:
275 Albany Street
Boston, Massachusetts
