This building and 10 World Trade (BGI building) are absolute game changes for connecting the BCEC to the Seaport!

I will say, at least they finally changed the walk signal so that it's all directions at once. It used to be that you'd need to wait a light cycle to make it to a traffic island. Then wait for another light cycle to make it to another traffic island. It was the epitome of prioritizing cars...

Update as of last week: JF White has submitted their "position paper" on why the weld cracks were not their fault. JF White very recently submitted their proposed procedure for installing the diaphragms without weld failures. MADOT is looking at the procedure and likely will have an answer in...

As I understand it they pulled the proposals because the proposals too closely aligned the new developments to the casino. So the Casino Commission basically said, "The way this is presented now, this development falls into our jurisdiction." So Wynn was like, "Thanks for the heads up. We'll...

That Keno lounge was more depressing than most. No on premises liquor license so just old people playing 10 games of Keno, stepping outside for a smoke. 10 games of Keno, stepping outside for a smoke ... I miss Jones' department store across the street. I got all my Girbaud jeans there (sadly...

This is fan-fucking-tastic. If this were BC it would be some safe neo-gothic building (and I say that as someone that likes BCs campus). Bravo to BU for being bold.

Sure the smoke stacks and the tallest buildings right on L Street. But I have to imagine most of the buildings (particularly if they're set back from the road) are just going to get pulled down with a wrecker claw.

But they knew the tunnels were there when they got the master plan approved. This is a total bait and switch.

I posted this 3 months ago. Sure enough, the home page of the web site Equilibria linked is titled: Deconstruction: L Street Station I think they truly believe if they don't call it demo it won't be loud and messy.

Isn't that District Hall / The Innovation Center now?

I talked to an exec at JF White (the general contractor) maybe a month ago. He said the welding company assumed it was a welding issue and the engineer assumed it was a design issue (he brought this up to point out how rare it was that both parties initially blamed themselves!). All parties...

Does anyone know why a couple of those sets of tracks have multiple gauges inlaid on the same set of ties?

The underground utility relocations are mostly done at Parcel O. So we should see some digging soon.

As JumboBuc said above, blow it up and start from scratch. They'll be gutting the interior, completely redoing the façade and and making a shitload of seismic/structural improvements for the added floors. I can't imagine the financial argument for reusing the existing building is that strong...

1. I presume the Church sold (or rented) to the Dollar Store, not "Charlestown". So it's the Church lacking class. 2. It's literally adjacent to the largest public housing development in Massachusetts. Seems like a reasonable place for a Dollar Store.

To be fair, Genzyme's edition to that very plant did not speak to it aesthetically at all. :D

The "Entertainment District" Mayor DeMaria has been salivating for..... Does this mean Greater Boston finally gets a decent strip club?

I think it was two museums and a YMCA.

$287 psf does seem like a lot for Southie. CancelEuclid, do you know what multifamily development goes for in Southie (per SF as entitled)? Genuinely asking - I don't know.

That's a fair distinction. I'm sure Rosales isn't the EOR (didn't stamp any of the drawings). I think I remember Benesch being the structural engineer and GZA being involved with the foundation design. There were like 6 stamps on the construction drawings if I recall correctly. So Rosales...
