    Yeah, that's the first I'm hearing of this. Unless it was just part of the original Core2Shore plan or something.

    I'm sure I know who is behind it - and would love to see it succeed - but the question is, will there be a master plan? Wheeler hired Dover Kohl. Strawberry fields has a "mood board."

    The location is pretty prime. Wheeler might be better planned, but strawberry fields is better positioned in my opinion. My main point is there will be competition, which is a good thing for costumers.

    No doubt about the location; it's great. Just hoping that they don't think good development will automatically happen without good planning.

    Their website already looks better than Wheeler's that it has pictures and a vision of what could/will be.

    What does that even mean? It's a one-page website of random street scenes. Probably about an hour spent on Google image search. It's essentially a Pinterest board. You're suggesting that is more impressive than Wheeler's planning documents?

Of course, KOCO did not have any mention of Strawberry Fields because they probably don't do their research here.

The gallery of images is very impressive, also. What a city this could be if 10% of that imagery were to come to pass.

    I'd like to know more about the vision for the area. Lacking a lot here.

    I've been following this for a while along with several other developers who have been assembling large tracts on the west side of Central Park.

    I'll post more on the entire area later.

    The design of the boulevard on the northern edge of Strawberry Fields becomes all the more important to the success of any proposed development in that area.

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but there is a lot of historic fabric left in the area just north of the proposed Strawberry Fields. I think preservationists should start thinking about how to preserve this.

    The developers who own or who have been acquiring property in that area generally plan to renovate most those buildings.

    This is where Urban Farmhouse is located, for example.

    What a great idea, love that this area has been chosen. I love the idea of dense urban borders on the park, and since we'll have the Convention on one side, it's great to see something different on the other. If this turns out like an old Boston brownstone neighborhood then I'd pick this over Wheeler

    Can we just stop with copying names from other, more famous places?

    Is it a place? I assumed it was from the Beatles song.

    Well, a small section of Central Park in NYC is named Strawberry Fields...for the Beatles song.

    And the Beatles song was named after an orphanage in Liverpool.

    But was that orphanage particularly famous prior to the song?
