I watched that whole area change. Its much better now.

As someone who just moved to Boston and works in one of the new waterfront offices in Seaport I don't get why everyone here is complaining. The view is beautiful and the vibe is real nice to me.

I thought the ocean was going to put Boston underwater in eight years…oh…That was predicted 20 yrs ago

One thing I give China credit for is that it invites many architects from around the world to enhance their cityscapes. Most prominent is the late Zaha Hadid (rip).

Everyone writes that they need to build a few more buildings around, but it seems to me that it was built lonely so as not to obstruct the view.

My first big job as a laborer .. tons and tons of.construction jobs.

Is high lawn walk park part of Hudson yards?

They demolished some places that added character to the area. I miss Polyesters!

Interesting. But you left out two major parts of the transformation of the Seaport area: the outdoor concert pavilion, now called Leader Bank Pavilion (opened in 1994 on Fan Pier, then moved further into Seaport in 1999); and the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) which moved there in 2006. These two destinations made the are a place people actually had a reason to visit. Before that the only draw was the No Name seafood restaurant that had some fame for a few years. It is amazing how fast the rest got built up. Most people I know that live in the Boston area consider it to be a soulless, empty, glitzy neighborhood that doesn't feel like Boston at all. Also, it will probably be under water in the future.

hello whats is this place name in google map? i couldnt find it.. i want to visit this place end of this year. thanks in advanced

@2 minutes. Actually The Seaport Hotel opened 1999. I believe that was the first, but they really didn't call it Seaport yet. It was just part of South Boston.

I worked on many of these buildings. They all have pumps running 24/7/365 to keep their basements from being flooded with sea water. Most are already sinking more than planned. They are going to have major issues in the future.

As far as the racial equality in the Seaport, I’d like to add that there is in fact a large wealthy Indian, Asian, and Saudi population percentage living in this neighborhood yet nobody ever mentions it..

These skyscrapers are not stable i don’t care what these “experts” say lol

Bostonian here. Seaport is not a neighborhood. It’s a huge developer cash-grab that has constant severe flooding because they ignored all the environmental impact reports. Nobody who lives here goes there; it’s just for people who fly in for conferences. There used to be a couple cool restaurants there, but they were all torn down to build this mess.

Used to work nearby. it used to be old stone and brick office buldings and cobble-stone streets. Now it's tall generic glass & steel buildings packed tightly together. Try finding a place to buy groceries or a green space or a view of the harbor. Like a lot of Bostonians, I avoid it at all costs. With all due respect, the person who made this video is clearly not from around here. Seaport is NOT cool and definitely, definitely NOT a "neighborhood."

They keep using illegals in construction it’s criminal

It's not a neighborhood. It is a fast-tracked commercial building development. It boomed after Menino left office and he was known to slow down seaport progress. Plans for the seaport development actually started in the 1980s. What I can't wrap my head around is that this landfill essentially below sea level. And whenever there are "king tides", the media immediately jumps to climate change, when in fact, it's the ocean trying to reclaim its property.

Stop crying and be grateful we have a place to go yall be going to NY and spending your money out there. We have a place to hang out and have a gd time .life is not fair. Sow what be grateful boston is doing something for are city .if you don't have the funds den do go ..........

If you want overrated food, overpriced drinks and no parking as far as the eye can see the seaport is for you. But it does look beautiful lol.

So....when will this sink? Seriously though, is this really the place to put a ton of buildings in 2024?

Very informative video. I live in Boston and worked on the big dig. Excellent job with the history. But...I can't stand the use of the adjective "cool" to describe any place or object. And "way better" is another one. Also was it really necessary to play the "race and diversity card"? Rich people live there period.. White, black, etc. all live there.

Did you know that workers in Russia actually get paid? Unlike the pakistan and indian slaves in the united arab terr... hrm.. sorry emirates..

Miami is an awesome city to live in, but you have to do research and navigate the out out of control, and frankly, predatory pricing. Don't be a sucker. I'm not even talking about real estate, that seems out of reach already. I'm looking at cost of living. A simple grocery run will set you back $150. A dinner for 2 might run you over $300. Concerts are completely out of reach, that's why many people find it cheaper to travel to another city. Even paying hotel and plane ticket. You have to do research. Look for decent priced restaurants with good service and good food (Sushi Garage in the Grove). There are out there. Don't fall for "salt bae" stlyle ridiculous restaurants. Purchase your concert tickets with time. Shop Trader Joes for most of your groceries, not Publix or Wholefoods. If you do a little work, you can enjoy the city. But look out for the bull****. Don't throw your money away.

Diversity in a rich part of town 😂😂😂😂

The seaport is full of a bunch of Karen’s

Its the new financial district where everything is overpriced. They also did not include an extension for the T. Traffic is insane there.

Amazing transformation indeed… worth a walk around… They have done a good job with wide sidewalks and parks along the water, open spaces for the public were required of the developers by the city planners. Now to top it off, they need a monorail that starts at South Station and circles the Seaport.

Austin looks weird

3:01 the silver line was another huge connection for the seaport. Not too many people drive into the seaport lol

Miami is becoming Dubai… a disconnected, over hyped dump But hey, we need a place for all the 30k millionaires to go flex on Instagram

Nah, it’s possible the parking lots had more charm than the current seaport.

went to it last spring and it was completely dead and lacked any sort of fun. Just void of any personality....there are fun things to do but they are INCREDIBLY spaced out.

Almost no one lives in the seaport. Not a neighborhood. Its a district. And didnt include any public transit i initially and the busses are infrequent so everyone has to drive or taxi.

the seaport is very nice looking but it has no soul. it feels like a video game.

Every part of Boston is isolated and inconvenient to commute to. All depends on where you start. Uncritical. Not very informative. For example, what does it mean for development to move further inland?

Waiting 1000 meters skyscraper

Amazing how Murica can spend so much when it doesn’t have any cash.

I hate it down there. No trees. No big parks. No libraries. No schools. It is just corporate glass and steel. And it floods in parts during storms at high tides because the elevation is too low. It only has a glorified bus in a tunnel running through there so not even great mass transit for a planned area.

It’s really tacky and corny in real life, the entire development feels like something that should be in Dallas or Atlanta, totally not NYC worthy, tacky and corny

Soulless corporate offices, hotels, and condos, all in shiny glass buildings. Nothing that feels neighborly. I dislike it intensely.

What happened with climate change on this area ?

25 years ago, Downtown Miami used to be a snoozefest with mediocre places like Bayside to go to. I do miss the Burdines downtown though.

It looks similar to Brickell in Miami.

Fun Fact: the seaport district is where you would find so if the bodies that Whitey dumped

Is anyone in the Seaport concerned about sea level rise? I have not spent any time in the Seaport, but I have been on Boston's Atlantic Avenue waterfront during so-called king tides, when harbor water was nearly lapping up against building foundations, such as Harbor Towers.

A classical example of MEGA gentrification. Turning parking lots in Boston into expensive urban area is piece of cake, at least in Boston. Turning this kind of areas into affordable housing is challenge that I am not sure when Boston gonna be able to figure it out . Respect to the professionals but this city is urbanized by politics. To have a brand new area developed with out major and basic services such as hospitals, schoold, parks e.c.t and on top of it not to be affordable is nothing but failed urbanization and stealing land from Bostonians. Cheers.

The bright people's will moved😮

It's sooooo windy there

Homeless Housing? Huh?
