    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Seemingly nor does Amtrak... and they're setting the tone for the industry/leading the pack. This sounds like it's practically lifted from Amtrak's plan for the Intercity Trainset configuration (PDF pg 128, doc pg 126), due to replace the Northeast Corridor equipment (among others). The...

    Greystar | 35 Garvey Street | Everett

    Commute to Boston or Cambridge? It's a 10-15 min walk from the new location of the new Chelsea station, which generally has 15-30 min weekday frequency and is only slated to go down with commuter rail modernization. Silver Line is a 20 min walk for folks going to downtown or Seaport. 0.5 spaces...

    Greystar | 35 Garvey Street | Everett

    If the Pentagon were an apartment building... It's... obscene, but it'll be a boatload of housing so I say let's build 10 more. Though maybe not with so much parking with a decent amount of transit and impending walkability. 564 spaces to 450 units still makes me gag... encouraging that many...

    Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport

    ABSOLUTELY. They'll probably hold off on any major work until after the adjacent parcels are nearing completion of adjacent ROW work...

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    With the insanely 'architecty' discussion that happens at the public BCDC meetings, I can't even begin to imagine what happens in their 'committee' meetings, let alone how we still end up with stuff like this. I get the complex nature of the site and the pedestrian realm actually isn't too bad...

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

    🥺 It's so beautiful... From a few other angles that show how this starting to have a dramatic impact here.

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    First pic is from Thursday and second is from just now. It feels like the core popped up out of nowhere last week.

    Beth Israel West Campus Inpatient Building | 111 Francis St | Longwood

    Could a mod update the thread name? It was a little difficult to find... 😅 Might I suggest: Beth Israel West Campus Inpatient Building | 111 Francis St | Longwood These are from Sunday. The contrast between this very straightforward glass curtainwall (for now) and the... contemporary 1990s...

    Barry's Corner Mixed-Use | 180 Western Avenue | Allston

    Solid stuff from Samuels, again. Just homes for people to live in. I'll never applaud any development for off-street parking, but at least it's all tucked on the inside of the block and fits neatly within the same 1.5 floor height of the retail frontage. 78 spaces to 273 units is a decently...

    761-793 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    it's too modern it's too tall you're ruining the character of the neighborhood can you imagine the shadows this will cast on Newbury Street??? there's too much density where will all these people put their cars?

    1 - 101 Main St. | Broad Canal Zoning + Development | Cambridge

    I think 'distinctive' is a very charitable word for this infill tower, but it certainly stands out among its neighbors and breaks up a bit of the monotony of the block as it is today. I think it'll be most effective at doing that in this angle from Boston: Always love to see parking go away...

    Parcel Q1 | 2 Drydock Ave. | Seaport

    I feel like this zoomed-out view from the D Street bridge really shows how this building and its neighbor are filling in a gap where it previously felt uncomfortably open on this side.

    Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212 Stuart St. | Bay Village

    17 floors still feels so short, but I know that cost scales with height. I'm just happy we're continuing to get more infill housing downtown here, especially with all the folks (grad students rooming together, international students with deep pockets, software developers and other knowledge...

    Amazon Office II/SeaPAC | 1 Boston Wharf Rd. (Seaport Sq Parcel L5) | Seaport

    Sorry, late to the party... I'm really loving how they've managed to fit all the BOH loading and garage entry into a relatively compact corner facing onto Boston Wharf Road and the rest of the base of the building is wrapped in retail space. I especially appreciate how they're having the office...

    The Parker Boston (nee LaGrange Tower) | 47-55 LaGrange St. | Downtown

    The rounded-ish floor plates are really satisfying to see for some reason...
