Yea, but it's not really nuts if you think about it. Kendall Square is arguably the most desirable area in the world for bio/pharma. On top of that, it's very urban. It's like Silicon Valley being as/more expensive than San Francisco. It is a unique spot and everyone in a few specific...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) They never disappoint. I love how if you support the development, then people will automatically label you as someone who's on the payroll of the developer, as if the Boston Globe comment section is some influential area which sways public sentiment.

Re: Quaker Lane/Congress Square | Downtown I wonder if local residents will complain about new shadows.

Are a lot of those (relatively) new? Like in the past 3-4 years? I know Stoddard's is, and I've enjoyed it when I visited home.

The problem with DTX being so commercial-based for so long is that while it has a decent number of places to eat food, many are corporate lunch spots. One advantage of Latin America is that lunch is the primary meal of the day, meaning all of the lunch options are varied in both food...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I'm not sure it's anything so sinister...I think they just wanted to put up a massing with relative accuracy. They want you to look at their tower, nothing else.

Curbed has this story about the reformation of Emerson's "Little Building", which is on the corner of Boylston & Tremont. Will add 294 beds, had a reformation of the current façade and some other new additions. Looks really cool...

That's udderly fantastic! Ok, I'll go now.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I think this rendering is from right before they put up the 20-story LED to cover up the hideous black strip :D

A couple more renderings from the architect's website (Hacin + Associates: http://www.hacin.com/portfolio/55-india-street/)

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I was poking around the Hacin + Associates website, looking for some new renderings for the now-approved 55 India St, and saw they are actually working with SHoP Architects on the bid for Winthrop Square. They...

I think he was being a tad sarcastic

I'm not for the personal attacks either. I don't understand how people even get into arguments on this website for the most part.

I'd be willing to bet a lot of the people on this site, most of whom are very pro-development, are democrats as well. Let's leave politics out of this.

Would that be the construction manager?

Ahhhhh I see! After the postponement, I'm sure the BRA gave Simon the ol:

Yea but guys, you're missing the point. They blocked a development and now feel important! That's the real victory here.

This is among the most infuriating projects ever. This project had already been approved...several times if I'm not mistaken.

I haven't been following this so closely. All of the changes I see in the renderings are on the exterior - will there be anything new down below? Are they changing the layout or at least refurbishing the tracks some so there aren't deafening shrieks from trains entering the station?

Re: 110 Broad St. (The Times/Littlest Bar) Personally, I don't get the gripe with the design. If the materials are of high quality, they should look very good (IMO). If they cheap-out on the materials, then it'll look bad, but this site is way too prominent for them to low-ball the...
