Posts like this one make me suspicious. There is a dedicated South Station Tower thread that appears on the first page of this forum which was just updated earlier this week and whose last poster was...you. Three days ago.

Re: Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown Except that the cannon thing is what keeps the building clean and shiny and pretty.

Re: Skanska Fenway Project (Burger King) | 1350 Boylston Street | Fenway Gonna break with that so-called general sentiment here: I've got no problems with this building as of yet. I think it works.

They did the State Street/Channel Center building in Fort Point, the first Fan Pier building, the Tree House at MassArt, 315 on A at the edge of the Seaport, the Carpenters' Union building on the highway, the Troy in the South End, the Victor by North Station, and One Greenway, among many other...

The current phasing for this project goes Residential tower >> Knock down eastern side of garage >> Office tower >> Eastern side of development >> Smaller western residential tower. So, if no anchor tenant can be found for the office building, does HYM change its schedule or does everything...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett The footings for the Orange Line bridge are still in place, and cross the river pretty close to Alford St. The pedestrian bridge would more likely be attached to the Commuter Rail bridge. In fact, I'm pretty sure that that is the current plan.

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Park time on the harbor: Boston Globe article. The five sites under consideration are: Dry Dock 4, the Northern Avenue Bridge, somewhere on the Fort Point Channel, and two parcels in east Boston. It is the Trustees of the Reservation looking to...

Your words are a sort of simplification of the situation. Traffic only happens when people want to be in a place and drive their cars there: when mass transit is improved, cycletracks are in place, less parking is constructed for buildings, or driving is disincentivized financially, traffic is...

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport Yes and yes. Though Parcel D, where the original chapel sits, is only scheduled to be a completed development project by 2020. L2 and M will both come first. See the general Seaport Square thread.

Overall significantly different than any renders posted on this forum: white brick instead of red is a big change. And the renders have the balconies bumping out over the street, subtly referencing the fire escape on the neighboring building. Instead, the balconies never go past the plane of the...

^Pretty sure that first one is by the same architecture team as this project.

Here's one where they don't look the same height! :rolleyes: I'm still not a fan of one entire side of this building, but I would be cool with it being built anyway. If someone could just prove that building air rights parcels is possible at all, that'd be win enough in my eyes to overcome...

I totally agree with this sentiment. What would you (and others) put on, say, Parcel D or G, the remaining open parcels on this stretch, or do to the streetscape to bring a little harmony to this space? Is there a solution at all?

Really interesting document overall. As to there being no "big ticket" items, I feel like South Station Expansion and West Station's construction are pretty major, and this plan relies on those two things' happening. Extending the Green Line and Orange Line won't be cheap either. Same for the...

How do the dimensions, other than height, of this ellipse compare with the proposed office tower at the Government Center Garage?

But as it is vacant today what would you have them do with it? EDIT: I have now gone back and looked at what used to be there, as I was unaware of my history. But my question still stands.

I finally gave this proposal-- and the essentially vacant lot it will replace-- a thorough look today and must say: this project should be built. This property as it currently sits is totally anti-urban, just a vacant lot, a single-story shack, and a tiny surface parking lot. What this...

I know this has nothing to do with the towers, but, yes, that is indeed a school cross-walk sign. It is also facing the wrong way, I'd say: it's warning the pedestrians in the crosswalk about themselves, as opposed to warning drivers.

This is some sort of Tarzan reference, right? Was Jane Goodall there perhaps?

And I thought what was already under construction in this area was a lot. This and the Leggat parcels' approval tonight will add even more. Right on, South End.
