Jeez, just another thihg NYC has to be better at than Boston. We build the Green Line ext at 600,000,000 per mile and they have to up the ante to 4.3 billion per mile of track.

The heavy storage construction method before concrete waffle slabs. The Park Street station ceiling has similar vaulting to hold up he soil and traffic above it.

I got to check out Raffles last night thru a friend in the travel industry. Nice finishes through out. Lots of ceramic tile floors, not porcelain, plush carpets and high end wall coverings (not vinyl). I believe real wood veneer on all paneling as well! There is plenty of staff available. Two...

I was intrigued by the question regarding Church Park and the demolition of the theater. My first apartment was at Mass and Ave and Columbus so the plaza was my outdoor space. I enjoyed it very much and knew it was part of an I.M. Pei master plan but never thought of the history of what was torn...

I'm liking it beter than the tan and brown suburban clapboard look that have been springing up around the site. The facade could use more breaking up. Hopefully they can rework the materials a bit and end up with a less ominous wall of metal along the length of the building. Something like...

It seems the MBTA has been on the fiscal cliff since the year 2000. I think the debt is a shell game and hopefully Tibbetts-Nutt has political savvy to wade these waters; otherwise she will be a sacrificial lamb next summer/fall.

Cleaning up the punchlist items on the exterior. The corner above the garage entry is getting tidied up. Roofing in the corners.

Time for The Post Office to move over the Gillette site.

All the cranes are gone!? How do they get the remaining panels up? Swing staging?

Do you think Holy Cross or UMass will buy it and honor the Woo sox lease? It would be a great start for a new campus

It doesn't matter, get them built to get a foothold on these wastelands of old industrial lots; get them cleaned up and built on! Then in 30 years when the property has gained value and the buildings are sold off to new developers, the buildings will be remodeled or torn down and rebuilt. This...

It's going thru the legislative process as we speak/type. A link to yesterdays goings on the Hill. House, Senate at odds on shelter spending, Everett soccer stadium Senate leaders optimistic differences can be resolved quickly

Impressive digging. I do appricate the corner windows are being returned to somewhat their original mullion layout in the new renovation. I know of one building that has maintained their original 1920s steel frames of this corner type window. (I should post this on the "Where am I" thread)...

What is this nonsense!? Is it April 1st or something!?

Still working on setting rebar at the first floor since the beginning of October! Looks like they set the crane base as well. Hopefully they can pour the first floor before winter sets in. It can act as a roof area to enclose the garage levels below where they can work thru the winter.

Looks like some work has started at the Brookline Ave bridge side of the project as well on both sides of the turnpike. Bonus pic, a rendering of the finish product seen in the wild. Looks like the Buckminister is still remaining.

Steel and deck progreesing nicely. There was a question of what the finish product would look at the columns where the rebar was flanking both sides. There is a finish condition across the street/ turnpike in the last picture. The wall is the same height as the column on both sides, the gussett...

Two more floors of steel underway. Thats a lot of steel within a week.

The new City_Beautiful vision

Last rendition I can find. from 2017. Looking from the pedestrian bridge in the park, I think the 20 Childs Street residence is the one in the back/ middle with Parcel L&M immediately to the left.
