The only reason I heard about PWHL this year is because they got some notoriety in the younger crowd in Lowell, which I still have 1 or 2 connections with. I'm sure if it was closer to Boston it'd be a lot more popular.. This might have some slight bias as I grew up next to Lowell and then...

The GLX work this weekend is interesting. I'm not quite sure where it could be coming from, but they're stockpiling a bunch of soil at Ball Square, bringing it in in small truck loads...

That's gonna be a deep hole left lying around...

One consistent outcome of these shutdowns are the crazy infographics. I'm sure the graphics team yearns for the simpler shutdown days.

Prices have to creep back down within some part of the development process for developers to have an appetite for building housing. It's pretty difficult to make money currently with high land prices and construction prices. John Fish, president of Suffolk Construction, stated something along...

Seems like an astronomical waste of money, looking at the implementation plan...

It'd be pretty strange for them to stop growing their Boston portfolio forever... They will likely take a pause as the financing on this was probably a bit painful/not the best outcome, but the interest rate environment you bring up is in the now, while firms like this with billions in assets...

.... They took out the trees but left the planters in place??

This is MassDOT's CIP. The MBTA has a separate CIP. This may be more relevant in the General Infrastructure thread.

I don't really mind the concept. My comments were more along the line of bigpicture's, in that this is intended to be a sharp cube, so your detailing of the brick work has to be "sharp." There's no room for imperfections or interruptions, because that's all there will be to look at. You can add...

I was here with a few (millennial) friends this weekend to grab a drink and there seemed to be an uninformed yet resounding and confident agreement that Cambridge Crossing ("CX" as they were saying) is different from the Seaport or Assembly, etc. It mostly seems to stem from the park space. I...

Was expecting better build quality out of this... The brick work look quite cheap...

The state conservatively estimated $1 billion in projected revenue and split ~510m for education and ~490m for transportation. In education, K-12 lunches are free, community college is tuition free for adults 25+, and there is a good amount of grant money for building improvements. On the...

I mean, it's fine, but it's nothing really to write home about, or make a post about on Dezeen. Architecturally, it has some nice features, but again, nothing really inspiring. It fills in a "hole" in downtown, which is great economically, but isn't really what Dezeen or an architecture forum is...

Boston on the big screen!! Let's check the comments: Dezeen's comments are always negative, but it is disappointing this is what 'Boston' warrants worthy of a fancy design article, and the comments are warranted in that respect. I've had my own questions about how they're really...

Reads as a high-end wastewater treatment plant..

The road currently undergoing extensive sewer separation work and gas line replacements?

The article quotes the director saying they're being realistic about housing not being as lucrative, and this project has some pretty large sunk costs already...
