I for one much prefer the double helix style. Quincy adams is my t stop of choice. And when I park at Logan central parking I go for the ones with the helix ramps (A & E?). B & C I avoid due to their central ramps and never knowing which way to turn to go up or down. I prefer parking on roofs...

I don't know. Building B looks like a classic Ivo Shandor design. Be a nice double gateway.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

BUUUURRRRNNNN!!! Although wholly incorrect in the insinuation. But, you have your fun. I'll take the smart money on the train getting me into the city on time vs. the traffic gamble.

Vacuum waste systems are very much a real and semi common thing. So, not that far fetched. Not quite that invasive however.

We go thru it on almost every lab project too. Us - You have no need for natural gas in the labs right? Because they we'll need to add automatic shut offs etc. Client - They will be using bunsen burners. Us - You sure they can't use electric heat? No one really uses bunsen burners anymore...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Does Bing maps really still identify the "Fleetcenter" on their maps?

Thank God thats not the case . It's a garbage building, and it can't be covered and buried by surrounding buildings quick enough. It might actually be interesting then if you had to dig through many other buildings to discover it. But, front and center and standalone. This current eyesore...

Dropped Pin near Ward Two, Somerville, MA https://goo.gl/maps/s6dbkpJd9LB2 Here

It's going to be tough to incorporate into the existing area when the whole area has just been significantly upzoned. 24 storey residential tower will look pretty out of place here for a while. But, with this and the other proposed developments in the area, this will become the new context...

Institutions like MIT rarely (if ever) build throwaway anything. Buildings are usually designed and built for a 50 year lifespan minimum. Eastgate is coming down at roughly that 50+ year mark. It is also not part of MIT's undergraduate dorms. It is family housing (post graduate), and is being...

Environmentalism is more than just about carbon footprints. The real individuals impacted are the wildlife who live there. The NIMBY's without voices. Trees can be replanted 1 for 1. The impact to cutting swaths through forests are not just about trees good carbon emissions bad.

Apparently it is very fast tracked. The mechanicals for the building are being built offsite and will be picked into the mech level as fully assembled skids. Should be an interesting watch when those start showing up in 25,000 lb segments. Not sure how many months away that will be.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I'm pretty sure that's what the idiots who proposed this crap in Brockton had in mind. When the Mayor says "It's great, it could almost look like a school." You would think someone would realize how far they had missed the mark by.

"If the company creates 2,000 jobs, it will be eligible for about $46 million in state incentives, “the largest commitment ever made to a Springfield-based company,” according to the MassMutual news release. It is not receiving any incentives from the city of Boston, a source familiar with the...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett That's what I said in 08 when I wanted to buy those LVSC stocks at 4 bucks....

Agreed. Lehigh Valley to either, sure, but not NYC to Philly. But, that's also 100% car. Boston as the regional hub is rail connected to the 50 mile radius. Not incredibly, but it is rail connected, making commuting that much easier or more attractive. Driving 50 miles and then trying to get...

Re: Parcel Q1 | 10 Drydock Ave. | Seaport Long term solution should be light rail, though the extent of the tunnel is weak for a train. Easy immediate solution is buying more big busses. There is plenty of capacity in the transitway. Not enough vehicles.

Re: Parcel JK | NorthPoint | Cambridge It's my understanding E/F, I, H, & G are all fully in design right now. Obviously no tenants announced. Sounds as if some are moving much faster recently. Activity is picking up. The retail pavilion as well. Once Phillips was announced I expected the...
