Boston02124 -- very nice -- only in Boston or perhaps also the City of London type of construction pix

Unless its a Corporate HQ -- like the Novartis Lab HQ in Cambridge -- that extra-stuff is unnecessary and silly

Jeff somewhere between the current state of work -- upper diagram and the beginning of the foundation and giant arches for the Tower [lower diagram]-- there has to be a "real crane" installed on the site I'm still betting it will happen in 2021 perhaps by the end of the summer?

Youi can already see that this building is going to have some amazing views down various streets especially juxtaposing it with some of old brick and stone structures

This is also the appropriate scale for that Boston City lot on Cross St @ Fulton St. -- it needs to be developed as a decent gateway to the North End perhaps just a bit taller say 11 or 12 stories in the corner furthest from the park and closest to Fulton & Cross corner

Beeline -- those columns -- Johnson just did them so he could steal McKim's fabulously appropriate light brackets from the BPL [appropriate to the BPL] but nothing Johnson ever did was appropriate --- so anything being done at 500 Boylston is going to be better than what is already there

Shmessy -- it the COVID-19 that made me do it!!

Charlie, Mike -- this should be reserved for residents and sometime-residents of East Cambridge -- it can kind of be our private "speak-easy" site Baltic Bakery -- South side of Cambridge St. almost at 6th Antranig Pasha -- SW corner of Cambridge & 6th my father's sister and later my cousin...

Cortes -- a lot can happen in 20 years for example many [35 - 40%] of the companies on the S&P 500 in 2000 are no longer stand-alone corporate entities -- they either folded or were acquired However -- the 100 to 200 entities have been replaced by entities many of which if they existed in 2000...

RaJacobs: Not to belabor the point -- but the 2019 NPC stated: Obviously -- the HTC portion is being financed some shape or form on the basis of the tower -- Not-for-profit Theatres don't pay for themselves

Cortes -- The single tenant occupying a very large office building with their name on the top -- is an anachronism Consider that to be a super tall -- implies about 100 floors [80+ at least] To be a viable -- an office building [as opposed to a lab/office or pure lab] these days...

Apparently you haven't noticed that the Sox activate [have activated] Fenway for: ice hockey [Pro and college] popular music concerts some various college sports some sort of downhill ice racing several charity events on the field CVOVID-19 Vaccinations from the FSM linked-in web page...

Logan Terminal E Expansion [Phase 1]

BostonObserver -- It wouldn't be worth it for the developer to make a small amount of office space and then to try to rent it in the current climate -- anyone looking for office space has a wide variety of direct and subleases to chose from available all over the city

Amazing -- it went from this [view from the 6th floor MOS] when even the core was obscured by the foreground buildings [Feb 23, 2020] to essentially a view which looks like the above architectural rendering in less than one year [and that included the interruption due to the COVIID-19...

Bigpicture --- Quad one of those losely defined academic terms [not to be confused with Academic Semesters] :cool: whose connotation depends on you and your particular frame of reference It a bit like the somewhat associated and similarly unspecific term of College --- which can range from...

From the last filing with the BPDA -- NPC So what we are witnessing is [based on the NPC filing of 11/2 years ago]: The renovation of the existing Huntington Avenue Theatre and the replacement of the existing annex building behind it (the “West Wing”) with an approximately 37,000...

Itchy -- I think you are going a bit far on that criticism -- I doubt that when its done that the outside of the Theatre itself will be substantially different from today

Jeff -- I think that the developer is still haggling with the BPDA design folks September's stuff looked significantly improved -- but the Massive Truss -- the raison d'etre for the building being left standing is still not exposed enough for my taste Anyway here's what I think came out well...

Jeff -- I think the usual connotation of Quad is residential "houses" or Colleges -- Killian Court is bounded by academic halls that's why I suggested the East Campus Houses and the associated Courtyard Another MIT Quad is my old undergrad dorm MacGregor House -- located between Mem Drive and...
