I wonder if this will ever get completed. Commerical real estate has taken a huge dive in the last 2 years.
Riverside center in Newton just sold for HALF price the current owner paid just 2 years ago (235M)

Yes it has definitely been a tough time for commercial real estate recently.
Unlike the Riverside project though work is underway on Northland. All signs that I can see day-to-day seems to indicate this is moving forward. Come on down to Upper Falls next week and see what they have to say.
Northland has done a remarkable job so far to this point. The restoration of Bld 1 with 14′ ceiling height, the original joists, posts, fasteners – this place is a crafted museum, proud to be recognized and hosted by the upper falls neighborhood. Even with the hardships of the pandemic, the adversity of mezzanine financing troubling other developers, Northland is on schedule to be a remarkable draw for all Newton. BRAVO
