    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    The posts in the Back Bay float. When the buildings were designed, the total weight was calculated. Then they sunk a post and added weights until the post sat at the correct level. The calculated weight of the building was then divided by the weight each post could carry, to get the number of...

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Believe I saw a set of new cars pulling out of the garage while riding through Wellington tonight. Looked like a service engine was towing it out of the shed in reverse; its bright lights were shining off the metal body. I only got a passing glance, but it was stunning. Light years ahead of the...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    My three best Garden experiences: 3) Last B's v. Canadiens regular season game in the Garden. Bruins win in a blowout - Habs had to pull Roy - loudest place I've ever been. Ru -ahh, Ru-ahh! Thought the crowd was gonna tear the place down that night. 2) My grandfather took all my cousins...

    Traffic Disaster Looming in BOSTON

    Per the globe in 2015, (https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/2015/09/17/zocommute/6oAfphVXJRcUJYM4RAFTWK/story.html) 787,000 people were commuting into Boston and immediately surrounding areas each day. We just have too many people living and working in places where it just makes no sense...

    Exchange South End ( Boston Flower Exchange) | Albany Street | South End

    Re: Flower Exchange Redevelopment My 7 years of experience tell me differently. The walk from TUFTS to Newton Street takes on average, no longer than waiting for the Silver Line. Some days its faster to walk, others you end up hopping on somewhere along Washington St. But you never wait for...

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    5-10K is a ton of new people in this area. Is this "campus" including the existing BU/BMC and other life & bio-science employers in the area? This is just down the street (<1/4 mile south) of all of the development going on, in and around the former Herald site, and is adjacent to the NEIDL...

    Chelsea Infill and Small Developments

    It would be a dream for the oil tanks nestled between the Chelsea Waterfront and Admiral's Hill to go. This is an otherwise idyllic urban enclave. As for transit, the lower end of Broadway would benefit from a Gondola attached to the Tobin Bridge - just beyond Navy Yard Charlestown to just...

    Why Boston rents are so high.

    What % of the market do we think micro units account for? The idea of developers making significantly more money w/ micro units is interesting. In suburban development, I've always understood the opposite to be true. If you want to drive the price up, the idea is to add more non kitchen or bath...

    Why Boston rents are so high.

    I liked the article, but I am wondering if the real impact to the end user would be far more unpredictable if much of Boston were re-zoned. Not knowing for sure how high you can ultimately build is in part what creates an arbitrage opportunity for developers. The hope is that you can buy a...
