A couple of pics of Mystic Ave bridge near Sullivan Sq. getting its concrete pour yesterday. A link to the rebar tying machine on rails they had on board for I think three days most? It was fairly quick once the rebar was laid. Rebar tying machine

Good article. So basically covering all the bases when it comes to safety. I read an article a couple months ago that the outreach has been to the extent of running the trains for a year just to get it into peoples' heads that a train is running through their neigborhood! I bet the thinking is...

Following up on older post; hats off to the folks that get financing together for development projects like this one in Lee Mass. "Berkshire Housing is pleased to be bringing 56 new apartments to the Berkshires through this partnership with Rees-Larkin. We are grateful to MassHousing for their...

I hope this facility comes to fruition and does not become the next 5G issue for some folks. Clean off shore energy is here and battery storage is really needed. "Part of the reason solar and wind generation is creating such inefficiencies is a lack of battery technology to store the produced...

Looks like the first level is ready for concrete, deck and pour stops all tightened up. And I think the development has been re-named the VERGE. LINK

Sitting by the stop light, a quick shot. Curtain wall /façade install happening on the Binney St side.

Are there any conspiracy theorists out there that this has been planned all along from the beginning? I bet the school would have been asked to jump through more hoops for approval of dorms, especially from towns' folk backlash who don't want to see the city taken over by schools. Also the city...

Losing the tax base from a commercial hotel seems to be the sticky point. Can't city council(?) request a change in city tax law or add a special assessment to make up for the loss? Or request the school to pay taxes? It's strange that this issue of taxes hasn't been brought up with Northeastern...

Walking thru the Pru courtyard on a nice day, a nice canyon shot down Belvidere and then the classic plaza..

Wildfires making the sky smoky, eerie.

Steel starting up on the Marion Apartments housing development

Is this why nothing is progressing? The site has to lay dormant, like a crime scene, while people work out lawsuits? Government Center Garage Contractor Sues Developer

Beyond hotel and resort / casino lifestyle residences, I didn't know "consumer product" luxury branding of residential buildings was a thing, but apparently so. And while luxury hotel brands are significant players in this space, non-hotel luxury brands such as Aston Martin, Porsche...

Activity on the plaza last night! Good to see entertainment and fun for kids and parents. The swings were a hit of course, especially for the kids. I wonder if the city should buy 500 hundred of these and put two or three of them in all the small pocket parks in all neighborhoods??

Halifax #2 per capita; seems like they are building before there is a housing crisis!

International Boston- Bogata,then fly domestic to Medellin' so only airport time in Bogata. Then went to Cartegena for a couple days then back to the states thru Bogata. Medellin' for the culture, Cartegena for the pools and party!!

Wow- this thread started in 2005, a lot of strong feelings both for and against. Parking lot & highway wasteland vs pedestrian experience and housing. Souless office park design vs traditional design. Developers getting state subsities vs tax payer burrden should go to more relvevant needs. 1300...

Checking out San Fran for the first time. It just seemed like a big downtown with a lot of neighborhoods, all connected by street cars and busses. Went on forever. Fantrastic place.

Went to Medellin' last February. Southern half growing like crazy with apartment buildings, the Northern half taking it slow improving the hillside neighborhoods. Great city!
