Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport First they need to remove the friggin metal barricade running down the center island that would make that retail a pain in the ass to get to from waterside.

Yeah. They're not going to be the first developer to build tall here. BP is building taller, and they're building office space. The market is so hot here for both, every developer who builds short is leaving money on the table in a big way. We'll see what Alexandria does at Met Pipe of course...

50 Binney is 100% office space. Designed as office, with no lab infrastructure. This was Sanofi's HQ office building. So office is going for $100 bucks a foot. We're moving our office because ours would be basically 100 bucks at triple net. SoMa building 3 is a lab building, and Bayer is...

The terrible location of so many of the commuter rail stations really inhibits the ability to significantly increase ridership in many places as well. Living in Brockton, we have 3 very well located stations from a walkability/population center standpoint. Many places do not. The proposed...

Sorry. Added the quote above.... Not understanding why this is evidence that building tall is not in a developers best interest. Unless I fully missed some sarcasm.

Yeah, what ever point you think is evident by your statement... is not.

I love that post 126 & 127 above are so very different responses to the images provided. It's a great reminder of how different we all see these things, and why there can never be a true consensus on any architecture, and that's a good thing.

It is also now Cambridge's tallest building.

Makes me think of 784 Memorial Dr. Not sure that's something to be emulated.

Wouldn't photo cells (like we use in every building) be the smart solution here? Only on when needed, and dimmed as appropriate based on light levels.

Not sure there's a problem. People on this (and almost all forums) have a special skill for succeeding at being a dick whether they are trying to or not. Comparing something new or proposed to something existing or proposed elsewhere provides a point of reference. Points of reference help one...

Are they moving out of 150 Second street? Edit. Nevermind, I went and found it. https://www.bisnow.com/boston/news/office/exclusive-foundation-medicine-enters-seaport-amid-talks-of-big-life-science-campus-98107 Pretty big news. Surprised I missed that.

Re: Parcel EF | Cambridge Crossing | Cambridge Coughyescough

Besides it being in Newark? The path separation was a bit of a pain, and the platform I was on was exposed, with a chain link fence, etc. The station itself I guess wasn't as bad as I recall. Just the walk to it at ground level from the Prudential center I guess made it seem worse than it was...

I'm apparently on the other side. A train station is a station for trains to enter and leave and pick up and drop off travelers. If it does that, it works. I used Penn Station for the first real time last year, and it was great. Why? Because all trains lead there, and it's in the heart of...

Or this since you beat me in while I was typing....

Light colored finishes, good lights, and electric trainsets..... Take care of those, and your daily train experience will be 200% better than today. While there is natural light today, it gets pretty dark on the walk to your train whether under the bus terminal, or over on 11-13 where I...

Interesting to see Volpe massing included as well. Neat.

I like the real access to the roof garden being added. Opens up a little light between it and the Marriott as well, as the overall footprint is smaller than the existing structure. Would like it to be 40 feet taller or shorter than the Marriott however. The render included makes them look very...
