    The New Retail Thread

    I'm not very familiar with the barriers to entry in MA for normal restaurants, but I'd imagine they're probably not great. I remember someone posting some stats about Food Trucks and how poor Boston's scene is in comparison to other cities...and it was shown that in most cities the licensing...

    The New Retail Thread

    ^^ Done I love Massachusetts, but god damn do I hate its politics at times. There's nothing more infuriating than seeing people trying to legislate out competition like the taxis try to do with Uber. Our entire society/economy is based on making things better by doing things better. As...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Not sure if this has been said already, but it would have been cool if that crane was a permanent design fixture to create a spire a la the original 115 Winthrop Sq:

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Yeah, Raffles is a big name in the Far East. I understand there being some apprehension by investors since this is the first foray into the Americas, but you gotta start somewhere. Once it established itself, I have no doubt it would be extremely popular.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    If talking about going on vacation, then maybe people will think of Orlando, Vegas & Miami before Boston, but not in terms of importance.

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    I work in the trucking industry and one thing that's very common in areas that have very tight spaces such as this is using an angled dock. They'll make it so the dock is angled at 45 degrees, so the truck can back in and only have to turn about half way, but still get into a traditional dock...

    Motor Mart Tower | 201 Stuart Str. | Park Sq | Boston

    I like it but it really needs more height...it's trying to be sleek but the actual form is pretty squat. I know it'll never happen, but if this could reach 500+ ft, it'd be a beauty.

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Great shots everyone! I'm flying to Boston this week and can't wait to see this in person. I think this, along with Filene's Tower are the most exciting Boston towers of my lifetime...after seeing so many crummy buildings go up in the past, it's great to see some real gems go up this...

    Wasn't the Copley Place tower pure condos?

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    After the project started coming together so nicely, this is sort of a rough way to wrap it up. I don't think it looks horrid, especially from afar, but it's not great. However am I wrong to say that this could probably be swapped out for a new material (copper, wood) if the developer isn't...

    That definitely seems reasonable given its location.

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    Good call. Everyone seemed to be so down on this project just a couple of months ago.

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    I'm very happy that this project is now in the "beautiful pictures posted daily" phase of construction. It made me giddy to see Filene's in that stage, and I feel the same way now. Eventually we'll get it with Winthrop Square!

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Wow, that looks so sleek. If my count is correct, that's still got another ~15 stories to go, right?

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Great shots 02124! It's great to see this building making such great progress. When is this expected to top out? Mid-summer?
