    Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212 Stuart St. | Bay Village

    Someone brought up water proofing concerns on this thread earlier. And now every time I look at the building I think, "No amount of epoxy or caulk will be enough to fill all those uneven gaps." It's seriously giving me anxiety.

    Thanks for the aerials Suffolk! That reflective curtainwall looks nice!

    South Boston Infill and Small Developments

    Usually the incentive comes from not wanting to carry a construction loan longer than necessary. A construction loan has a higher interest rate than a conventional mortgage (usually can't get a takeout loan until you have C.O.'s and/or some percentage of the units sold). I wonder if in a...

    Seaport Sq. Block N | 350 Summer Street | Seaport

    Mockup looks good. I like the layering/depth.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    Night shift is opening a beer garden at Assembly where you can get Smoke Shop BBQ. Apologies if this should have gone in the retail thread. https://www.boston.com/food/beer/2021/05/18/night-shift-owls-nest-assembly-row-somerville/

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Two bits of info relevant to recent discussion on this page: HYM will tear down the garage sooner than later. They won't be given an certificate of occupancy until they've torn down the garage. Source: A friend that's an executive at HYM. That work on the park is enabling work by DOT. The...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Great pics from the BH Monument DZH. It's amazing to think that 5 years ago none of those buildings were in a view of the Boston skyline from the Monument.

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    BPDA: "We want contextual architecture that is inspired by the neighborhood." Developer: "OK. This is inspired by the Dock Square Garage."

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Am I the only one who thinks that core looks ridiculously big for the building footprint? Seems like they'll only be getting 70% efficiency....

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Submitted my comment in favor. Thanks Mass.....

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I have a friend that works at Middlesex and he said they're something like 700 days behind schedule and way overbudget.

    Gables Seaport (née Waterside Place 1B) | 505 Congress Street | Seaport

    Oh! I assumed the developer was the same that did Waterside Place Phase I and I was trying to figure out how the same developer could build something so hideous and then something so, ummm, pretty good.

    Charlestown Infill and Small Developments

    I believe the redevelopment/addition to that garage is going to be office not residential. But it will make for a much nicer entrance into the Charlestown neighborhood from the north.

    South Boston Infill and Small Developments

    That price has gotta be aspirational and not grounded in reality. The FAR in this area is only 2.0 and you don't have enough land to go for a PDA.

    East Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    Thanks for those pics Beeline. Does anyone know what this structure is? I've noticed it from the Leverett Circle bridge. It's being built here.

    L Street Station Redevelopment (née Old Edison Plant)| 776 Summer Street | South Boston

    I don't live in Southie so I don't have a dog in the fight, but I get the resident's concern. When Massport wanted to expand Conley, Southie pols got an agreement that they needed to move the haul road before they could open an expanded terminal. This was and remains a reasonable request - the...

    The Aubrey | 149-153 Newbury Street | Back Bay

    Thanks TMAC & Stellar. Maybe I'm way underestimating the resale value.

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    Does anyone know if the trellises at the North End Parks were supposed to have vines grow over them? Seems like that would be the goal, but I've never seen any effort to make it happen.

    The Aubrey | 149-153 Newbury Street | Back Bay

    That price seems crazy. It's a 14,000 SF lot. Let's say they get an FAR of 4 (base zoning is probably 2), that means they can put up 56,000 GSF. Call it 80% efficient - that works out to roughly 45,000 RSF. That means the land cost per rentable square foot is $889. They're either planning to...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Does anyone know what's going on with the black steel framing behind the construction stairs? It looks like falsework, but I can't figure out what it's holding up.
