The Bike Share Station Sponsorship Dance
As developers look to latch on to the popularity of bike sharing, winners and losers emerge
Construction won’t begin until next year on the expanse of parking lots that will become Boston’s long-awaited Seaport Square neighborhood, but developers have already installed the first Hubway bike sharing station on the sprawling 6.5 million square-foot parcel.
Once the new residences, shops, restaurants, office space, and hotels go up, “We plan on having several stations out there. We think it will be that much in demand,” says Kevin R. Benedix, executive vice president of Seaport Square developer Boston Global Investors.
