    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    5/2/23 from Essex Street and the Harborwalk -- This tower will have the effect of extending the skyline from the Harborwalk in front of the Courthouse, which is cool as this has seemingly become the most popular photoshoot spot in Boston for engagement photos and every other type of photo...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    5/2/23 -- The Convention Center side of the tower is definitely the furthest along. The site is pretty well lit up and there were workers still on site last night after 7:30 pm.

    South Boston Infill and Small Developments

    These are all smaller projects and not especially new, but it's interesting to see how cumulatively they have really helped reshape South Boston over the last 10 years -- 749 E. Broadway (Streetview in 2013) Today 728 E. Broadway (Streetview in 2013) Corner of E and W Broadway (Streetview...

    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    My hope is that the pedestrian access to Downtown is at least better than it is in Lowell for the Gallagher Terminal. In Lowell, the station isn't far from Downtown, but it's a very awkward pedestrian route. You have to cross an arterial road, negotiate an overpass, cross a canal until Downtown...

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    Westwood chided for lackluster MBTA Communities plan https://commonwealthmagazine.org/housing/westwood-chided-for-lackluster-mbta-communities-plan-2/ It's great that we're "chiding" Westwood, but the AG's advisory reads " Importantly, MBTA Communities cannot avoid their obligations under the...

    USPS Complex | Fort Point

    Do they really need that many new tracks? It would be cool if they could sneak in some parkland or narrow buildings (air rights?) adjacent to the Channel. I'd be happy if the USPS just sold the soul-crushing giant surface parking lot in the Seaport just south of Summer near the Convention Center.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Personally, I find the disparity in different perspectives of One Congress a bit jarring (between its wider angle and its narrower one) and think it may have worked slightly better with a reduced footprint and a bump in height. If the footprint was reduced by 12% you could accommodate the same...

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    I realize that City Hall has some architectural value and its admirers, but I can't find anything redeeming about the JFK Federal Building, which takes up a great deal more real estate than CH. Certainly not enough positives to justify its continued existence preventing more interesting...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Thanks this is helpful. Unfortunately it looks like the dimensions for both the first part of the tower (up to floor 23) and second part of the tower (up to floor 35) are essentially the same if that document is accurate. It looks like it will measure approximately 155-feet across on its "skinny...
