It's so interesting how they are building the concourse arches. Some are structurally "real", and some are fake. I would have never guessed this.

Interiors look really nice. I wonder how much was recycled from Lord & Taylor? I was only in Lord & Taylor a few times, but I don't remember those high clerestory windows. Plus, the exposed steel beams with fireproofing look new here.

I never knew the name of the alley/street either until I went to Google: The street is Milton Place, but I'm not sure the plaza has an official name.

Speaking of the fountain, does anyone know if the fountain on Milton Place is working, or will be working this summer? It was shut off last summer, and I don't know if it was because of construction at Winthrop or just totally unrelated. Now, this building is landmarked too! :)

Fantastic summary. Plus, we have beautiful mountains and forests to our north and west, plus fantastic beaches and islands for the entire coast. You can take a train from Boston to go skiing in the winter (Wachusett) and take the boat for summer beaches and nightlife. (Provincetown) We...

I had the good fortune to grow up in a small Nebraska farm town. (I always say it was like Mayberry R.F.D on the Andy Griffith Show.) My family is still located in Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma..............3 very conservative states. I follow the politics and conversations in those 3...

I love all the improvements to Back Bay station and the street activation, yet I agree that this design is pretty terrible. Is that blank wall just above the first floor supposed to be parking? It looks like about 4 floors of nothing. I realize the existing garage is terrible, and this will...

Wow, that is awesome...........and also SAD at the same time. I love how you can click on the stations for a photo and information. Thanks for posting.

Did they punt on that outside column? It was wrapped and then removed, and now this seems like a tepid design response. Do you think it's final?

I know it's preliminary, but you would think a little creative design would go a LONG way for people to get excited about this and onboard with the concept.

MBTA Red Line headhouse construction as viewed from the Urban Park on the Garage Roof. It was a beautiful day on Easter Sunday.

The street experience on this one is amazing! It should win an award. I mean, look at how much that guy in shorts is enjoying the architecture and street level activity! It's such a level above that European street CRAP in Barcelona or Paris. I want to hang out here all day and enjoy the...

I wish every project in Boston had the SAME or better quality as this one. :)

Skyscrapers in my hometown. LOL (Propbably taller than some buildings in this thread.)

I would have never guessed the Lincoln, NE one. I lived there for six years while in college. ........although that was a FEW years ago. LOL

You can see my photos posted a few threads above. It was quite busy at lunch time on a weekday.

Now I'm confused. Which one of the renders is the current iteration. I thought the two renderings above were the original proposal, and now we have a much slender tower proposal. Is that not the case?

I don't live in Boston, but I've been impressed by her actions and talk. She has a series of videos on Instragram where she commutes with a different Boston resident every week to hear their frustrations with transit in Boston. Politics are difficult, but at LEAST she appears to care and...

Cool shot. The two buildings to the immediate left along Boylston are still there!

After really studying it on the map, you are correct.
