    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Lots of potential for this area to become well-connected to public transportation if you consider potential for an infill commuter rail station, footbridge to Assembly on the Orange Line, and perhaps even extending the Silver Line beyond Chelsea.

    UMass Boston Developments | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    I agree UMB leadership should be more responsive, especially to the students living in the dorms. But I also hope that any building issues, like the HVAC and elevators, are quirks that the builders are responsible for correcting. My office moved into a newly renovated building months ago and...

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    From the BI link: "For those wondering what their city may look like should Amazon choose it, the company's current home in Seattle is a cautionary tale. Locals point to snarled traffic, soaring housing prices, never-ending construction, and accelerated gentrification." Boston is ready for...

    Providence developments

    This pro-development forummer who rarely chimes in feels compelled to say that it would be tragic to lose the Superman Building. I'm not very familiar with the local development climate in Providence. This should be a tipping point that makes reasonable protection of iconic buildings mainstream...

    UMass Boston Residence Hall 1 | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    Re: New UMass Boston student housing project Thank you for posting these. I'm very interested in seeing the construction, but I just about never get down there.

    UMass Boston Residence Hall 1 | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    Re: New UMass Boston student housing project UMB can be a dreary place. My advice as an alum is that it is essential to be social with classmates and instructors. That might come naturally at a residential campus, but it takes effort at a commuter school. I think the new dorms have the...

    UMass Boston Residence Hall 1 | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    Re: New UMass Boston student housing project There are graduate students and undergraduate transfer students who will only attend UMB for a year or two who will know nothing but this torn up campus. And the demolition of the garage substructure might be even more of a mess than the massive...

    UMass Boston Residence Hall 1 | Columbia Point | Dorchester

    Re: New UMass Boston student housing project My understanding is that utilities for the original campus megastructure are contained within the parking garage that is beneath and between the original buildings. Before the school demolishes the garage between buildings and renovates it under the...

    General Electric HQ (Necco Buildings Reno) | 5 Necco Street | Fort Point

    Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point Ditto. What would we have called that kind of space before that term?

    Hope Point Tower (Fane) | 250 Dyer Street | Providence

    I'm feeling agnostic about the height. But whatever the height, I would hope for a good urban and human-scaled street level with quality design and a variety of active storefronts. My dream would be to see something like Boston's Atlantic Wharf recreated on this site (or others on land vacated...

    Greater New England -- Portland Area -- Landscape Architecture Market?

    I can't answer all your questions. But I know Portland based engineers who do some work in the Boston area. And I know some Boston area engineers who do some work in Maine. I know Boston based landscape architects who work all over the country and around the globe. When I lived there a few...

    Our Lady of Good Voyage | Seaport Sq Parcel H | 55 - 57 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Because this church is human scaled, simple, and fairly traditional, it will be a key building that orients people within the Seaport. No one will give you directions to turn right after the third glass box. There is potential for the programming in the glass boxes to become recognizable ("turn...

    Trans national place tower 1 and 2

    I think a supertall downtown tower would have to an iconic design.
