    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Not to state the obvious but they had to make certain concessions to get the thing financed. They’re still probably going to lose their shirt having sold so few condos.

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    More likely a Hail Mary-attempt to improve their chances of unloading the property.

    Midwood Development Proposed 23-story office tower at the corner of Bromfield and Washington streets

    For all the folks obsessing over the previously proposed residential tower I’d suggest checking how few sales they’ve actually closed at Winthrop Center and at nearly every other high end residential project to open in the last few years. No one is going to finance a residential tower here.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    The renderings are soooo bad, like first gen AI.

    Landmarking Brutalism

    That there’s an alarming abundance of bad taste and that the popular opinion isn’t always or even often the logical or well-informed opinion. Perhaps a polite way of saying who cares what some rando who has no expertise or knowledge on a topic thinks?

    Landmarking Brutalism

    So? Given the choice most Americans would probably choose a home that looks like this: over one that looks like this: Credits: https://thecraftsmanblog.com/a-special-spot-in-mcmansion-hell/ https://patrickahearn.com/project/edgartown-harbor-house/

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    ^ Wait til the auction. You’ll be able to buy an entire floor.

    New Bedford Developments

    Seems like they’re putting all their economic development eggs in this one basket but the area north of the bridge looks to be entirely utilized by fishing businesses and what isn’t would require massive amounts of dredging. Can’t help but wonder if anyone’s looked at a chart.

    Did your dates coincide with the Berkshire-Hathaway annual meeting? That’s the first weekend in May.

    Landmarking Brutalism

    Fortunately there are still some things we as a society defer to experts on.

    Dana-Farber Cancer Center | 1 Joslin Place | Longwood

    Looks like they tried to stretch too small of a bandaid around it. I’m not sure fad architecture is really the right look for what’s generally regarded as one of the preeminent cancer centers in the would. Sedate yet dignified with the highest quality materials possible would seem so much more...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Yes, this really should have been leveled for some office park caliber architecture and a soccer field that gets maybe a few dozen days of use. Fortunately for you this region lacks the population and resources to undertake such a project.

    Back Bay Infill and Small Developments

    But none quite like this and in such an ideal location. Can’t imagine they’ll have much trouble finding a few boutique money managers/family offices, law firms, foundations, etc. to fill the space.

    RI Center of Excellence for Laboratory Sciences I Parcel 25 I 195 District I Providence

    What a dumb and presumptuous name. Why not just call it what it will be, the Rhode Island State Laboratory?

    Landmarking Brutalism

    A particular building doesn’t need to be universally liked or regarded as aesthetically pleasing to be architecturally significant.

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    Based on their other stories it looks like a BS tabloid.

    The New Retail Thread

    20m visitors? What constitutes a visit, walking or driving on Congress Street and glancing in the general direction of Faneuil Hall?

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    If they haven’t done this in the most environmentally conscious countries in Europe, there’s no way in hell it’s happening in the United States, especially with such horrid rail infrastructure. This is the kind of unrealistic and sanctimonious piety that puts moderates off with the issues of...

    Dude, spare yourself. This is who you’re arguing with:
