It has all the low rise joy of K Street, D.C.

Idk, large projects have teething issues. The lawyers will have fun pouring over the construction docs and specs, but, meh, seems pretty routine in the end. Funny no mention of the multiple fires during construction and who got blamed for those.

Can't wait for Fenway Center to further obscure that Pike/Pru view. Cover it all, from Allston to South Bay!

Page 100 shows 330' to top of mech.

I love DPIR in Boston. There are full renders in this one, but they're usually street level only or non-existent. And then hundreds of tables of thermal, wind, shadow studies, etc.,from every angle of the city, of which none will truly have any impact on anyone but the pearl-clutchers readying...

This is the most Boston argument ever and giving me a laugh: "No, YOu're wRonG! NeWbuRy StrEet AnD MAsS AvE, is NOT BaCk BAy eNOuGh!" You'd think this was some 2-star suburban dump in Waltham, Marlboro, or Norwood still calling itself "Boston". :ROFLMAO:🍿 Carry on....

Yea, that's pretty much the view. I found my book, and it's the 2002 edition. One Lincoln was just the tower crane. Nine Zero, a nearly complete concrete shell. The InterContinental was yet to rise out of CAT exhaust vents - and the Central Artery still very much in action. Crazy to think that...

This pic reminds me of an image Stephen Dunwell's "Extraordinary Boston" that's been buried in a box of mine for ages. There's similar sunrise golden hour shot from the harbor, looking west capturing the entire city all the way west to Watertown and Waltham. In the 2-page spread, One Lincoln...

😅 If the money wasn't in the residential floors yet to come, perhaps we'd all genuinely worry.

Thanks, didn't realize it was happening, literally yesterday. Off-topic, but I'm always amused (and when I say amused, I mean annoyed) when the chyrons overlap the story...

Where/when is the JH sign from Fenway going on old JH? I wish the up lighting did come back.

Sort of... this peak of the core is the transition zone for the remaining 1/3 of the tower. Go to ~1:12

Logan Airport turns 100 today. 🎂 Great slideshow from the early days: https://www.wcvb.com/amp/article/boston-logan-airport-100-years-of-airport-history/45030209

Checks notes: We still have a housing shortage, right?

I suppose the late stage hacking off of the secondary tower it is probably why - we really weren't meant to see it and already in cost cutting mode, it is what it is. Forgetting that, yeah, the OCD starts ticking a bit.

Pleats and alternating windows... the poor persons' (aka VE loving client) "architecture".

Is One Dalton there? It can so easily hide behind the Pru, even IRL, but every pic of this panorama is from the same angle of North End looking southwest, and you don't see it at all.

That, and a full Winthrop Tower, not the chopped down version. Looks like Motor Mart is in there too.

Nice to see that woman pointing in shame.

It's a lot of work to take, edit, upload, only to be dragged for it, and from people whose contributions are next to nil. For someone like me who drops into Boston 5-6x a year, I like the differing vantage points from up close and afar. So.. keep on. To the rest complaining, go get your own...
