    Kendall Common Parcel C3 (née Volpe Center) | 75 Broadway | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    It would be nice if they planned for water fountains or a water feature along the Broad Canal Way to pay tribute to the canal that was once there.

    Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

    After having served Jury Duty several times at the old Court House, the view was great while you had to wait around to be picked or not. Beyond that, I found the building depressing. I MUCH prefer the new iteration. I personally think it fits much nicer into the urban surroundings.

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Any update on the Market Place Center proposal? Is it dead? I hope this doesn't get built in the current iteration of the design.

    Permitted hotel for sale | 188 High St | Downtown

    I found the Twitter post with image. The fencing and pit made me think this was under construction.

    Permitted hotel for sale | 188 High St | Downtown

    Wow, I like that original proposal so much better.

    Permitted hotel for sale | 188 High St | Downtown

    From some Twitter feeds, it seems like this is currently under construction? Does anybody have a current photo?

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Is this the current building on the site? Or do I have the location incorrect?

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    The presentation was only from May 2023. I wonder if there is still hope for some other developer to step in or purchase the approved development?

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    If you didn't know better, it almost looks like Winthrop Center is part of the South Station tower. The glass looks so similar from this angle and lighting.

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    I kind of like the wild colors on the apartment building, but as @bigpicture7 states, the flatness and cheapness of the materials is a big turnoff for me. My first thought on the colors was that they were trying to go with a somewhat summer beach theme being located near Revere Beach. I look...

    Scituate infill and small developments

    In case you want to read the entire Scituate MBTA Community Zoning changes that we will be voting at town meeting in April 2024: https://www.scituatema.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif11836/f/pages/tc_filed_mbta.3a_compliance_redlined_amendments.pdf

    Scituate infill and small developments

    It's becoming more walkable and dense for Scituate. The red rectangle is proposed to be another large condo/rental development with restaurants and retail on the first floor. I've tagged two locations that are supposed to become restaurants. The one at the lower left is being developed by...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    Totally agree! I do hope the public space is as nice as that rendering. Retail makes for a dynamic and interesting interior. I've always felt like Back Bay Station is not very welcoming, and not a place you really want to spend any time waiting.

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    Good question. I guess I would say the addition of the Copley tower if I had to vote for one.

    Scituate infill and small developments

    YES! Greenbush area all has town sewer. This has been a very controversial discussion in town. Scituate is building a new Water Treatment facility, and it has been working hard to expand the sewer plus stop leaks and infiltration of seawater to the sewer system. As I mentioned in the MBTA...

    Scituate infill and small developments

    The only parking specifically for this development is basically between the two buildings in the photos. All the other parking is MBTA commuter rail parking, except the parking immediately adjacent to the retail and commercial.

    Scituate infill and small developments

    Great photos! Drone shots must have been done on a Saturday or Sunday. The MBTA train parking is pretty empty on the weekends. However, the main lot is now filling up on week days. The parking in the last drone photo was requested by the MBTA and NOT the developer. The MBTA wanted to...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    That view above would have looked so nice with the Copley residential tower.

    The New Retail Thread

    My unscientific opinion is that it depend a lot on the weather! I was in DTX one late afternoon on a beautiful September day, and it seemed quite busy. The ladder district streets had outdoor dining, taking up some parking spaces, which really helped to activate those streets. I was very...
