Boston's office market goes from bad to worse. What's Wu's Plan B?
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu might do well to heed those words as the city faces a likely drop in commercial property tax revenue driven by the post-pandemic shift to hybrid work. Wu is skilled at projecting confidence about Boston's future. But is she also preparing for what experts increasingly see as a potentially painful cycle of falling office building values, shrinking property tax receipts, and mounting fiscal strain? Advertisement It's tough to tell. Last week, the Boston Policy Institute and the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Such a decline would leave a potential $1.7 billion hole in the city's budget, larger than the shortfall the two groups estimated in their When asked by reporters about the projections, Wu underscored the city's rock-solid bond rating, fledgling effort to convert office buildings into housing, and decisions by Lego and Eli Lilly to set up shop in Boston. 'We are going to continue to celebrate and highlight the progress that we have made, while continuing to double down on believing in Boston,' she said. Advertisement That's hoping for the best. But then she went on: 'Others can be part of a shadowy organization that is looking to tear down the city's progress.' That was a shot at BPI, a 501(c)(4) think tank that can engage in politics Its earlier report with Tufts' state policy center, which doesn't take political positions, was used by real estate and business groups to help kill Wu's bid to temporarily shift more of the tax burden onto commercial landlords. The diss might be good politics for the mayor, who faces a reelection challenge from Josh Kraft. But in disparaging BPI, she sidestepped what could be her biggest challenge in a second term: keeping residential taxes in check without the once-dependable growth in commercial real estate levies. Boston generates But, as the BPI report warned, 'In the current economic environment, Boston's unusual tax structure has ceased to be a source of resilience and has become a liability.' That's a harsh reality at a time when Against that backdrop, Wu's cheerleading can come across as tone deaf —or worse, denial. 'Although we're facing the same uncertainty that cities everywhere are dealing with right now, the reality is that Boston is in the best possible position to weather this moment,' Wu said last week after the City Council Advertisement Really? With everything the city is up against? To be fair, Wu said in April that the city needs to be ready 'for the worst in every case.' And her $4.8 billion budget included a below-average increase of 4 percent, a nod to the fact that the city couldn't continue the ramped up spending of previous years. 'The City is taking an all hands on deck approach to reinvigorating Downtown — both by promoting economic opportunity to attract more people at night and on the weekends and by adding housing to bring more people to the neighborhood during the day and after work hours,' a Wu spokesperson said in a statement. Wu is once again The change — which would limit any increase in tax bills for residential property owners at the expense of struggling commercial landlords — was rejected last year by the Senate. Its chances for passage this year are slim to none, which raises this question: What's Wu's Plan B? The mayor hasn't said. Hope for the best. It's not clear the city is prepared for the worst.

Malaysia emerges as Southeast Asia's top destination for tourism and investment: Nga Kor Ming
PUTRAJAYA: Housing and Local Government Minister, Nga Kor Ming, announced that Malaysia is a rising star in the Southeast Asia region by emerging as a leading destination for both foreign direct investment (FDI) and tourism globally. Nga, who was recently elected President of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Assembly, said this achievement reflects the Madani government's commitment to good governance, investor-friendly policies, and strong international diplomacy. 'From easing visa regulations to deepening diplomatic ties, the Madani government is paving the way for Malaysia's global recognition,' he said. Nga said that Malaysia was recently ranked the third most attractive destination for FDI globally in the newly released 2025 Baseline Profitability Index (BPI), trailing only India and Rwanda.

'We take on this role as president together with our esteemed colleagues from the United Arab Emirates. The shared commitment symbolises regional solidarity and dedication to urban sustainability,' said Nga in his acceptance speech. The minister described the appointment as a significant recognition of Malaysia's commitment to sustainable urban development, including its progress in achieving Sustainable Development Goals, with 53% of indicators already being tracked at the local level. 'This is a shared glory for all Malaysians. In co-presidency with the UAE, we stand ready to lead with integrity, inclusivity and dedication to the principles of the United Nations,' he said.
