Very nice reporting. Where are those 900 office MBTA employees located now? The Transportation Building in Park Square?

What's up with the MBTA purchasing this office building? Do they already have offices here? I couldn't find anything online about the MBTA needing this space. https://www.bldup.com/posts/mbta-buys-quincy-office-for-13m

If ONLY it was so easy in real life!!!!! Overhead utilities are so ugly in my opinion, and Europe plus many other locations, bury them out of site. I wish they were all underground in the USA.

Good for them to include the electrical and telephone wires in the rendering! That's a new one for honesty in renderings! (Personally, I would love to remove most overhead utilities, but I know it's crazy expensive.)

Brickwork and details are better than most residential new construction that I've seen. I wonder how the first floor and sidewalk will be activated? Retail?

It's a nice photo and nice lobby, but the restaurants are closed and there is only 1 person with little activity. It seems very lifeless to me.

That circular apartment building in Winchester is crazy.

Interesting that the building on the right has windows where it would normally be a brick party wall. How narrow is that passage? Are there windows on the new structure that look out on the passage? (I won't even call it an alley because it just looks so narrow.)

Well, it may be Carbon Monoxide Park, but it's better looking than the elevated T structure! :)

Kind of off topic, but Hull has their Pride celebration on June 1st. https://www.hullpride.net/events/hull-pride-2024 It's ALWAYS an awesome time, and you can check out all Hull has to offer too! My personal favorite is the Parrot Restaurant. https://www.theparrothull.com/

As someone who lives very close to the Greenbush station, I would certainly entertain a shuttle if the service was every 30 or 60 minutes using clock facing schedules. As it is right now, it's just not very convenient especially returning from Boston in the evening with over 2-hour headways...

I immediately thought of this music video, but maybe I'm just a product of the 80's! :)

Is this the same building that you see from the airplane view above? The Turquoise green looks much darker and better from the plane. I wish this FIRST residential building that will anchor the development had the same quality as the one in the Fenway. Anyway, it sure seems to look better...

I did this back on a nice day in April, so the answer is YES.

Didn't the T do a "Regional Rail" study where they looked at comparable systems around the world? I seem to remember the regional rail network of Melbourne being an example, and that's mostly electrified. Found it...

Recent flight down to Washington DC from Boston. It was kind of freaky to see from the plane.

Nice photos @DZH22! Look how much the Longwood and Fenway areas have changed. I would love to see the same shot from the Prudential Building in the mid 80's to gauge the difference.

I like the Seaport, but you can sure find a "love/hate" relationship with people posting online. Quite a few people think the Seaport is soulless, only for rich people, and not very diverse. There is "some" truth to this, but overall, it's a nice place with many new businesses and retail as...

I'm kind of surprised they are rebuilding this garage. After 9-11, didn't they rope off whole sections because the parking spaces were deemed too close to the terminal and planes?

If you are interested in new construction and development, I typically review these forums and plan a walk around an area that has a lot of recent activity. For instance, I recently spent a Sunday afternoon walking around Kendall Square in Cambridge because I hadn't been there in quite a...
