    Arlington Developments

    A big plus is that it makes the corner a real corner instead of being just a building in the middle of a parking lot. The transmission place next door probably won't be around much longer and likely will go up to the sidewalk too. A couple blocks away is this, a day care center built a year or...

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    In just about every way this is a big success: a handsome tower replacing what was mostly a nowhere space; some street presence created where it was previously nonexistent; a beautiful new public park; and a great outdoor space for those who get to live in what can rightly be called a...

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    Most of the Blackstone elevation treats the street as a service alley not really engaging Haymarket but there is at least the glass section (restaurant?) that will have a market view.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    You betcha! That integrity stuff is for suckers. No doubt the righteous glow of all the useful idiots virtue signaling against Pinnacle can be seen from the moon. The way she is playing them is priceless. It's not mean to laugh at UIs getting used by one of their grifting own is it 🤣?

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    I’m in the this will turn out fine camp. Design-wise it has a sort of fantasy castle look to it (if you squint a bit) and why not it’s a hotel, no reason it shouldn’t be something a bit unordinary. Also, while the materials are everyday, I don’t get the sense of cheapness that others do...

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    371 Beacon St. This gets a lot of scorn but when finally done it will be a decent little hotel and a positive addition to the neighborhood (and have a restaurant/bar?). It anchors the intersection and adds some substance to the immediate area. I like it considerably more now than when the...

    1060 Broadway between Teele and Davis Squares Former brutalist Powderhouse School converted to 48 units with several commercial condo/rental spaces. Relatively raw with some rough, exposed concrete in keeping with the deliberate intention to not be conventionally pretty. Lots of open terraces...
