    Subject: Riverside Station preconstruction procurement Hi Scott — I’m reaching out regarding Riverside Station in Newton. The record shows the special permit was approved and there’s active liaison coordination, but construction start and the current procurement path aren’t clear. Would you be the right person to confirm whether financing, the GC/CM, and the bid calendar are set, or should I speak with someone else on your team?

    Subject: Riverside Station procurement follow-up Hi Scott — following up on my earlier note about Riverside Station. The special permit is recorded, and the project still appears to be in preconstruction coordination. I’m reaching out to see whether financing, start timing, and GC/CM selection are now set, and where the bid calendar stands. If there’s a better person on your team for procurement planning, please point me in the right direction. Would you be open to sharing the current scope and schedule status? Best, You

    Hi Scott, I’m following up on my earlier introduction about Riverside Station. I’m checking whether financing, start timing, and GC/CM procurement are now defined, and who should handle the bid calendar. If you’re not the right contact, who on the Mark Development team is best for this conversation?
