    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I must have accidentally ended up on some rich person list, because I get lots of pings from guys slinging condos in car-branded Miami towers and now I am getting a lot of pings from this one. I think they have fully ramped up the marketing engine.

    That origami-looking building is fire!

    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    Looks like some Kendall Square lab buildings escaped the asylum.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Is that top left corner condo furnished? Looks like a model unit maybe?

    Union Square D2.1 | 10 Prospect Street | Somerville

    I am saying this hiding behind a wall and at a safe distance from Ab, but I don't like the way this building looks. It seems busy and the colors already look dated and it will not age well. Am I out of my mind?

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Well, at least there are people there socializing, sitting around, etc. A lot of Midwest cities downtown's would dream of this.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    The more I see this building go up between the design and the actual glass panels going up, it feels like a building designed and built 30 years ago that was put into storage and is being brought out and dusted off. Maybe because I have not seen it in person?

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I know I am whining to the wrong people, but the chasm of open sky the demolition has opened up after decades of this hulking monstrosity makes me wonder about the hypocrisy of shadow laws for Boston Common or the Harbor Towers/Aquarium Garage nonsense. How was this totally ok, but a 700-foot...

    Lyra (née The Huntington) | 252/258/264 Huntington Avenue | Fenway

    In my next life, I want to come back as a slurry wall rig.

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    Sort of gives off a Warren Towers vibe and that is not a compliment.

    401 Park Drive (née Landmark Center) | Fenway

    Any time I see those solitary concrete cores completed with no floors built, I just think of the opening scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

    Building With Wood

    You don't "need" 2 concrete floors. My last apartment was a concrete foundation with 2 sub-levels of parking, a first/street level floor that was concrete and then 5 floors of wood above it. The first floor was where the amenities and the gym, etc. were, with big open spaces and high ceilings...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    Calling that "570 Washington Street" sounds a lot better than "## West Side Highway". Interesting that one of the investors is Baupost, a massive Boston hedge fund.

    The Ipswich | 2 Charlesgate West | Fenway

    My skeptical self was expecting a new member posting, "any updates on this project?" and instead I get a wonderful plate of warm chocolate cookies.

    Minneapolis | Twin Cities

    Scenes from the Skyway. From October - our downtown has been very slow to come back, but is steadily getting busier as some large companies (Wells Fargo, Target, US Bank, etc.) have more people in the office. IDS Center Crystal Court (Phillip Johnson). Popular spot for lunch, coffee, taking...

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    So cool to see the Couture u/c. I love the Miami vibe of the design. This project has been in the works in some form since I lived there in 2008.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I am always in amazement at how so many of these downtown shots have over a century of architectural variety represented in them.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    Look at this for example in HY. 35 Hudson Yards, 78th floor, 4br/4ba, 3,800 sq ft. Listed in 2019 for $17.7M. 4 years later, still on the market, now for $13.7M. That is a reduction of $4M! The monthly condo fees are $12,200, WTF...

    There are only so many offshore billionaires looking to park their money in US real estate. Some of these buildings have 1 br's going for $3M, whereas you can get a really nice, new building 1 br elsewhere in Manhattan for $1.3-1.5M. So who is going to pay DOUBLE, plus wild condo fees? I...
