I do slightly miss the fear of bridge collapse on my daily run across it. The little viewing bump out in the center is nice - I wish more bridges had them. Both for the natural inclination to stop for the view/photos and just to take a tired break at the top.

I'd be with you for soccer/football where there are limited events, but there are 81+ games per year in a baseball stadium - another ~3000 seats at $40 face is $10M a season before playoffs, and that's just for baseball games without concessions.

This is what I'm confused about - they absolutely could have expanded the ballpark over the street and gotten lots more seating... This isn't even being ambitious - see below Think Athletico Madrid... or PSG Parc des Princes

Is this headquarters project still active since Herb Chambers sold to a company in Georgia?

How does this development impact the Rutherford realignment plan? The major roadway is still directly next to those fields, and the greenspace is provided on the other side of the road.

Thanks! OLD NEW - lots of added pavement and unnecessary rotary... why even bother with the "Middle Road" with the multiple cut-thrus? I do like the new form of the protected courtyards and better frontage on Rutherford. Phase 1 is the shortest building at only 7 stories - will that even...

Makes sense that the residential portion leapfrogged the Block 7A Office, but I'm perplexed on why they aren't going tall again. Didn't the last round of condos sell out very quickly and the apartments rented fast as well. The "Revolution" filled up pretty quickly as well with much lower...

Eversource is already in active conversation with Jupiter on building the battery farm. This is a strategic move and not the worst from a grid reliability standpoint. Still sucks to give up waterfront property, but the site isn't a bad investment for a utility in transition. As an IOU in a...

The more I look at this the more I hate it. The bridge is on the wrong side to interact with the square, there is NO effort to create a "neighborhood center," there is zero depth to the buildings, and the courtyards FACE the ROW which is already deflecting both commuter+GL noise directly at...

First I'm seeing of a model, and it's wholly unimpressive. There is an enormous school on a hill directly across the tracks. This should easily be 10+ stories against the ROW, stepped down to the street wall. There's nothing to obstruct!

If ever there was a picture demonstrating how poorly exhibitionist glass walls compare to honest architectural effort...

Water's Edge is in the news again... ‘Nowhere to go': Tenants must move out of condemned Revere high-rise There are 40 occupied units inside the Water's Edge apartment building. City officials condemned the building last week, saying the fire protection system doesn't work and numerous code...

I was thinking the same. Makes me think that it's not really soccer they're sizing for, it's concerts. It fits right between 17000 at the Garden and 37,000 at Fenway. Can fit a lot of concerts in a year between games
