Long-planned towers could soon rise along Morrissey Boulevard
The two-tower residential project at 75 Morrissey Blvd. would include a community park in between the two buildings. The project will incorporate flood resilience by elevating the property by five feet. CBT The Boston Planning and Development Agency board last week approved the towers as the first phase of the nine-acre master plan, which itself won initial approval in December 2023 two life-science laboratories, but the Copper Mill team pivoted after taking over from Center Court last year. 'The most acute need was housing,' said Andrew Flynn, the chief executive of Copper Mill and formerly the chief executive at student housing developer Scape USA, in an interview. Advertisement The project is among the largest housing developments approved in Boston in the past several years, following the BPDA board's Advertisement One-fifth of the homes at 75 Morrissey Blvd. will be set aside for residents making less than the area median income. That The 754-unit apartment project is the first phase of a seven-building master plan between Morrissey Boulevard and Interstate 93. The Boston Planning and Development Agency board approved the master plan in late 2023. CBT The project will also include a three-level, 414-space underground parking garage and 6,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The ground level retail stores will have deployable flood barriers at their entrances, said Phil Casey of architecture firm CBT in Boston. In a worst-case scenario, Casey said, the floor heights of the retail stores could be raised to manage future flooding. Beyond that ground-level flood mitigation, the site will be raised by five feet to ward off water from a Flynn knows those flood waters personally. A graduate of Boston College High School, which sits just across the street from the 75 Morrissey site, he recalled upperclassmen driving past younger students, walking from the MBTA JFK-UMass Red Line station, and splashing them with puddled water. It was important to incorporate flood protection at the 75 Morrissey site at the start of design, he said. 'It's not something you can do as an afterthought,' Flynn said. 'It has to be one of the leading design elements.' Copper Mill aims to start demolition of the vacant television studio at 75 Morrissey Blvd. later this year and ground-up construction of the first of the 18-story towers in 2026. Flynn said the firm has not formally marketed the project to investors, but intends to engage with capital markets now that the development's first phase has secured BPDA board approval. Advertisement Chicago-based real estate investment firm POB Capital, which through an entity for years has owned the nine-acre stretch of 35-75 Morrissey Blvd. (including the former television studio, former Beasley Media station and Star Market), will likely partner 'in some form' with Copper Mill throughout development, Flynn said. After an extended period of hesitancy to allocate large pots of money to specific projects, institutional investors are tentatively starting to crack open their pocketbooks. Flynn said institutional investors are increasingly eyeing opportunities to fund multifamily residential projects — especially those near transit — in 'flight to quality' markets like Boston. 'As they look at the spectrum, whether it's … industrial, office, hospital, or across geographies domestically, I think Boston multifamily is something that seems to have a bullseye on it,' Flynn said.

Ethereum Meme Coin Pepeto Crosses $6,200,000 Million in Presale Upon Listing
Early-stage crypto presales offer access to tokens at initial valuations prior to public market listings. On August 15, Ethereum reached $4,750, reflecting upward momentum amid shifting altcoin market indicators. As of August 19, ETH remains above $4,300 following a recent correction, positioning it near previous high levels. Ethereum-based token Pepeto ($PEPETO) has surpassed $6 million in contributions during its presale. Priced at $0.000000147 per token, Pepeto has attracted attention within the cryptocurrency sector. The project differentiates itself through a zero-fee exchange and PepetoSwap technology, supported by a cross-chain bridge and a staking mechanism currently offering 242% rewards. This combination of utility features and meme token branding positions it within a competitive market landscape. Each presale stage has closed in a relatively short timeframe, consistent with patterns seen in previous meme token initiatives, while indicating ongoing development efforts and community involvement. Pepeto is developed on the Ethereum network, incorporating meme-themed branding alongside technical components. Its zero-fee exchange is intended to address transaction costs, a common barrier for traders. In addition, PepetoSwap and an integrated cross-chain bridge aim to facilitate trading across multiple blockchains, potentially increasing accessibility across various user groups. With a focus on affordability, transaction efficiency, and interoperability, Pepeto is structured to appeal to a broad range of users as it moves from the presale phase toward its planned launch. Technical Value and Audits Add a Layer of Trust Pepeto's development has undergone independent audits, complementing its core utilities that distinguish it from conventional meme tokens. The integration of security measures with technical infrastructure contributes to the foundation of its long-term functionality: • Pepeto Exchange: a zero-fee trading platform designed to host and list the next wave of meme coins and Web3 projects • PepetoSwap Technology: enabling seamless token swapping across chains with fast execution • Cross-Chain Bridge: connecting multiple blockchains, improving interoperability and accessibility • Staking Rewards: offering 242% APY to incentivize long-term holding and ecosystem growth • SolidProof Audit: comprehensive code review by a respected blockchain security firm • Coinsult Audit: an additional audit ensuring transparency and security for cautious investors Community Engagement and Expanding Presence Community involvement has played a key role in Pepeto's visibility to date. The project has maintained active outreach through social media channels, AMAs, and interactive campaigns, accumulating over 100,000 combined followers. This activity has supported consistent visibility within a competitive market environment. Rather than relying on short-term promotions, Pepeto's outreach approach emphasizes ongoing engagement, aiming to build user trust and support gradual awareness within the broader cryptocurrency landscape. Global Participation and Presale Structure Pepeto's presale has been open to participants globally, supported by a low entry price and a simplified purchase process. This approach has aimed to reduce access barriers for new users, while allowing others to engage during the presale phase. The presale operates on a tiered pricing model, with token prices increasing at each stage. Currently in Stage 8 and approaching Stage 9, the presale structure reflects patterns observed in earlier meme token launches. Embedded Youtube link : Positioning Within the Meme Token Landscape With over $6 million raised, dual audit verification, and features including a zero-fee exchange, PepetoSwap, and a staking mechanism currently offering 242% rewards, Pepeto presents a broader utility framework compared to typical meme tokens. Its reference to the original Pepe narrative—sharing the same 420 trillion supply while reinterpreting it as PEPE + TO—adds a thematic dimension to its branding. As the project progresses toward token launch and prepares its exchange for listing future meme tokens and Web3 projects, it continues to build out its infrastructure. This development focus may support broader engagement beyond initial market entry. How to Buy $PEPETO Investors can join the $PEPETO presale via the official website: Tokens are available at $0.000000147, with payment options including USDT, ETH, and BNB. Early participants can capitalize on staking rewards up to 242% and other exclusive ecosystem benefits. About $PEPETO $PEPETO is a cutting-edge cryptocurrency project blending the playful spirit of meme coins with real-world utility. Featuring a zero-fee exchange, cross-chain bridge, and unparalleled staking rewards, $PEPETO is redefining what it means to be a meme coin in 2025. Disclaimer: To buy PEPETO, make sure to use the official website: As the listing draws closer, some are attempting to capitalize on the hype by using the name to mislead investors with fake platforms. Stay cautious and verify the source. Website: Contact Author DANIEL B

Tegna, Nexstar merger would put 3 Indy news stations under 1 company
(This article will update.) Nexstar Media Group, which owns and operates WTTV (CBS 4) and WXIN (FOX 59), announced on Aug. 19 that it had entered into an agreement to acquire TEGNA, the parent company of WTHR (NBC 13). This means three Indianapolis-based television news organizations will be owned and operated by one company. Nexstar will acquire TEGNA in a cash transaction of all of TEGNA's outstanding shares valued at $22 per share. The total value of the purchase is about $6.2 billion, according to a news release announcing the deal. The transaction was unanimously approved by TEGNA's Board of Directors, with the purchase price of the stock representing a 31% premium to the company's average 30-day stock price ending Aug. 8, 2025. Before the acquisition, Nexstar operated over 200 news stations across the United States, notably stations like KTLA in Los Angeles, CA, WPIX in New York, WGN in Chicago and the two stations in Indianapolis. TEGNA, on the other hand, operated 64 news stations across the country. "The transaction will increase Nexstar's reach through the expansion of our presence in important (direct market areas) such as Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle and Minneapolis, as well as enhance our local presence, enabling us to continue to provide the core local news and programming that is in the public's interest,' said Nexstar's chairman and CEO Perry A. Sook in the news release about the acquisition. It's unclear how this acquisition will affect the daily operation and staffing of the three Indianapolis-based news organizations. 'We are thrilled to have found a partner in Nexstar that will enable TEGNA's stations to continue doing what we do best: creating outstanding and impactful local content coupled with the delivery of indispensable digital products to the communities we serve around the country," said Mike Steib, Chief Executive Officer of TEGNA in a press release about the acquisition.
