    Foundation Medicine (Parcel P) | 400 Summer Street | Seaport

    That's too bad. I was really looking forward to this "canyon stairway" blocking the open highway. The walk from the convention center right now is terrible. The wayfinding is really bad with the path to World Trade Center blocked off and all the sidewalks blocked. Prior to this construction...

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    Went by this last night before dinner on Revere beach - even the first building of this development is going to immediately change the dynamics of this neighborhood adding hundreds right on the T. Already it was great to see how busy and full of life on a Sunday night the restaurants and...

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    5 is nice, but there's a 12 story building right across the street....

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Coommmmmonn Rapid7 - get your name up there! Let's get more homegrown companies up on the skyline - not one that makes you feel miserable like Verizon.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    See - the uggo Alta Revolution will already be a background building within a year of it's completion.

    Woburn infill and small developments

    For anybody else confused about where this is... it's the North side of Anderson, and YES, it is connecting to the parking lot.

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Great catch @SomervilleRed . I love comparing the apparent attention to detail and tighter build in the old Leins autobody shop (Passiv Haus goal) vs its neighbor at the old Thunder road. Which do you think will match the render better? Any bets that the rent will be the same, but drastically...

    Somerville High School Renovation & Expansion | 81 Highland Ave | Somerville

    So much that they should have reconsidered the GARAGE for the high school. It would have eliminated all the bickering about teacher parking vs bike lanes on Highland Ave.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    Couldn't find a better thread... More than 1,300 apartments will fill an empty office building in Lower Manhattan, making it the biggest residential conversion project in the country, its owners say. The building at 25 Water St. was once home to the Daily News and JPMorgan Chase, which...

    AC Hotel by Marriott | 1 McGrath Highway | Somerville/Cambridge

    I'm not how they're going to thread the needle for the bike path connection, but I'm all for it!

    Biking in Boston

    Lord help any bikers going through that Winthrop rotary. The "intentional slow zone" on Rt 16 causes so many side street backups and dangerous behavior.

    Bill Russell Bridge | North Washington St.

    Look at the size of that sidewalk! I've been running this stretch for 20 years over (now 2) rickety narrow paths just waiting to crash or collapse. We won't know what to do with all that space.

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    As someone who does this trip very often... Southside: Love the proposed Cranberry Highway connection. It spreads out the connection to Sandwich road and the transition to 6A. But please don't add a second westbound on-ramp. Drivers slow down just before the go uphill now, and the addition of a...

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    SOMERVILLE: East Broadway Bus and Crosswalk Improvements Pop-Up Thu, March 30, 2023 – 3:00pm – Thu, March 30, 2023 – 6:00pm City staff will be tabling at the corner of Broadway and Cross Street to share information and answering questions about upcoming bus and crosswalk improvements on East...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I know this [Edit: SL to Sullivan] is the leading option, but it still surprises me that there is not a plan to extend the silver line along 16 through Wellington for a stop at 93. Would directly support 93-to-airport, 93-to-orange, 93-to-soccer stadium (see we got back on topic!)

    SKY Everett | 114 Spring Street | Everett

    I'm so excited for Everett (and likely the Rt 16 strip of Revere+Chelsea) to be a vastly different place for the next generation.

    Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment | Charlestown

    Architectural faults aside, this is hardly a Pruitt-Igoe. The engineering of the site will likely be noteworthy. From 2020: "A notable change from the ENF is the Proponent’s decision to move beyond regulatory requirements to set its own aggressive energy efficiency goals by committing to PHIUS+...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I agree - I have a much bigger problem with that awkward plain residential building in what should have been the jewel of the neighborhood overlooking the park. That REI gets pretty good business now, and will do even better the moment that path opens.

    One Mystic | 1 Mystic Avenue | Charlestown

    I like these guys.... "If not here, then where?... The alternative to the thoughtful redevelopment of Sullivan Square is the status quo of junk yards, outdated and underperforming industrial sites, illegal trash dumping, and significantly underutilized transit assets." Came out swinging- good...
