I'm with the downtown option as well. Selfishly, I propose a date after Easter. (when I can drink again....) Red Hat is a fine option, if we can fit.

As one of those users, I'm looking forward to it, but expect plenty of painfull days because of this.

Will they build the Coheed across the street? Maybe a Rush and Yes and the whole place will be very "progressive".....

Working in a certain MEP office? Nice view.

So you don't have a narrow view, just a short sighted one? It's not that now, so why design it for the future?

At least I wasn't the only one recognizing those "balcony" treatments during the video, saying 'oh they're in front of that building.' Terrible skills. But big boy in the white/no shirt can take a lickin and keep wig splittin.

While I don't disagree with much of it... just want to note. If everything is the same height.... we complain about the plateau, and say variation is better. If everything varies...... we think it should all be built to the FAA max (and create a plateau.) Make up yo minds!!. We know why Ink...

Isn't the park kind of driven by the tunnel under the parking lots? Can't build much of substance at the actual tunnel locale, so might as well make that the park space.

Re: General MBTA Discussion Thread The amount of nurses I see on the CR and subway doesn't agree with "almost all". When I have no headphones, it's clear that most of them are heading to Longwood and not MGH. Probably a bit much of anecdotal generalization. Then again, if someone is paying...

Skanska Sells 121 Seaport in Boston for $455 Million https://bostonrealestatetimes.com/skanska-sells-121-seaport-in-boston-for-455-million/ I'd say yes. You can turn a profit after sinking $200M into the land only.

Neat. Small tidbit. My first MEP job was working in Shovel Shop Square in an old Ames building. Didn't realize they were the 4th oldest company until today.

I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately that process is not as easy as any of us would wish. We all have the ability to look at things with perfect hindsight. This is why I take offense (only mild) when people complain and say Ink Block should have been bigger, taller, etc. Folks love to forget...

Except it's not true here at all. J/K was combined from two lots, but that had nothing to do with Philips. The larger building was designed as a lab building, and was being built as such before Philips was even on board. It got changed after the fact to be an office building. They probably could...

That impervious tow lot that will be contributing to the heat island effect for a loooong time.

Me too. About 15 seconds ago. When I read your post.

Working on a spec building with them right now. Expect simar success. We shall see.

You are, but you knew that. By Vegas standards, this thing is super subdued. By Boston standards it's garish. Personally. The tower lighting is about as classy and somewhat understated as could be hoped for. I mean the podium is still cheesecake factory cheese, but the tower is quite nice, and...

Re: North-South Rail Link Even with students gone, I'm gonna call shenanigans on that blurry memory. 7am has been crap for much longer than a year. That's up there with the rocketman misremembering. I've only been commuting into the city since 2004, and since 2005 it has been 95% on...

I'm in the appreciation camp as well. Parcel G building is not under construction tho. Site prep is underway. Believe sheet piles are for site retention walls at this point, not foundation. Permits for G & H are not yet pulled.

Hah. Yes. Spring 2019, damn man. My mind is a mess as far as what month it is right now. Within the 12 month period starting now. Some construction. Starting early 2019, and some Q2..but later meaning in 2019 cranes a plenty. Sorry bout that. In my head this year is over.
