Adjacent: JPNDC called me on Friday about an upcoming BRA meeting for Jackson Square Site 3 Phase 3 this Thursday evening. Renderings they showed us last December can be seen in the FPIR [PDF]. Neighbourhood can definitely bear some additional market housing. I think we need more no-frills...

No change, still the same. They've always kept open some portion of the Johnson Building and similarly have always kept that single corridor connecting with the McKim open on whichever floor was open.

Hah, I don't even notice people gawking at my gawking anymore. I'm still honing my 'tourist' body language so I can stop being accosted by T employees for taking photos of trains at visually interesting angles (what, like somehow one photo of a train is what it takes for Al Qaeda or ISIL to...

Yes! You beat me to it. I saw them as I was running through on my way to the State House this morning These will have wonderful street presence in the next 5-10 years!

I have more pics of the rest of my walkthrough that I wanted to save for another day so I didn't overload the thread. (Dropbox reported that I had 150 photos to upload from my phone, admittedly many of them with an HDR duplicate that I don't upload to Imgur.) Now that the place is booming, it...

Should've been coloured siena or sepia...no wait, Ink Block took those...how about burnt umber?

I can't speak to the functionality of the lighting, but they're definitely see-through. Some sort of metal grate/mesh that makes them feel very lightweight rather than simply tall and imposing. That's a pretty clever way to keep the lighting in this space dynamic, though I'm not sure if people...

The way MassDOT defines resiliency isn't just taking into account average sea level rise from climate change. It's also about anticipating the effect of increasingly strong and harsh storms and the extreme storm surge that comes with it. They know full well that we'd have been in just as shitty...

CSTH - yes, plywood with retail anticipated for these spaces. Time for some Building 5A action...or lackthereof...not a whole heck of a lot of change going on at this site: And a whole heck of a lot of Building 6: Looks like some pre-tensioned concrete slabs for Building 6 in this...

Here, does this help? This is from roughly the same angle in Google Earth: Also, holy hell is Google Earth terrible if you have a modern device with a high pixel density that requires UI scaling in Windows... it took me at least 10 mins to position the camera with that viewport because the UI...

Last round of Partners before moving on: Without retail, the scale of the first floor feels enormous:

Breaking this up into multiple posts in the hopes of making these pages terrible to load for people. More details, contextual shots, and lanscaping: Benches!: Peering into the lobby: Veluptuous lipstick on a pig - oink oink parking spaces: Facade along the rear: Lamppost:

Okay, Assembly Square. Your turn for a photo dump. I don't see/can't find a separate thread for the Partners building, so I'll put them in here unless someone says otherwise. Details are quickly being finished for the Partners building: Station head house looks like it's days from...

Not a whole heck of a lot of change from the end of May: BTW mods, this development is being addressed as 33 Congress St - should we modify the title to add that? Sign says completion slated for Q1 2018.

More destruction gore from this afternoon: I think we've argued the (de)merits of this project to death, but I have to say this entire corridor is beautiful and I think this project can only add to it: As others have pointed out, this side of Broad St is basically all modern...

Hey! Photo dump time and boy do we have some surprises! Let's start out slow, though. Here's the walk through the Shops: White wash appears to be complete. Again, red brick along the face of 101 Huntington was also painted over: 888 adds presence from inside the central atrium: WHAT'S...

Podium prep continues: Inside, the Copley Place mall renovations seem to be wrapping up, but it doesn't seem like a major change - just white wash (like what's going on in the Pru), new drop ceiling, and updated lighting fixtures. I was expecting something dramatic, but it definitely feels...

Thanks guys! I finally figured out a workflow that works for doing quick uploads and allows me to share pics I've taking already on my own. I definitely don't like landscapers, but it's mainly the often unvarying height that makes landscapers so unsightly. This does a good enough job of playing...

I would presume that requirements for building distance from vehicular traffic varies by security level of the federal facility: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_building_security US DOT does some pretty important research here, but I don't think any of it qualifies for...

Having trouble finding the specific report/capital plan, but resilience in the face of rising sea levels is something that pervades a lot of MassDOT long-range planning these days and is in Massport's best interest to anticipate. I think it may have been Rich Davey when he was at MassDOT (also...
