^Sorry to nitpick, but it also lists John Hancock Tower..it's now 200 Clarendon. Not that it matters much, I'll always call it JHT! Just like I'll always call the Willis Tower the SEARS Tower! :)

Re: South Station Tower I do wonder if Tufts University still has ties to this project? There is an interesting opinion piece in the "Tufts Daily" which includes some info on this project. The piece is called: "Bridge the gap: Joint development", from the Tufts Daily,Mar.2,2016 edition...

Re: South Station Tower ^Are you suggesting they may move from Charlotte to Boston?

^Very true....plus when you zoom out a bit more and add in the North Station/West End developments, the skyline expands <wider> as well. Lots of new photo-ops for Duck Tour/Boston Harbor cruises coming. :-)

^Nice work!....and soon, you'll be able to place an accurate render of One Bromfield in there. (if they release it).....then comes the RFP winner for 111 Federal.....I have to keep pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming. Is this really Boston?

^I am hoping that the BRA didn't necessarily tell them they had to pare it down, as opposed to stressing to them that the design must factor in potential shadow restrictions on the common. This would mean that if the description was written after that initial BRA meeting, they have already...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett ^Gosh darn it, you're on to something whighlander.... we can start with the Wynn/Boston Harbor "just-for-you-Mr. Mayor, free-lifetime-buffet-pass-if-you-drop-your-complaints" talk..... If that doesn't work, we may have to up the ante, so to speak....Obviously...

^I know what you're talking about, and I think a lot of us feel the same. .........The Good:It's going to be great to see the base/podium incorporate a lot of new and exciting things which aren't there now, and what better spot than at a major transit hub. The Bad: Caving to the nimby's. Why...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End ^Remember the day when that garage was deemed "structurally deficient"? (back in the late 70's or early 80's) (?) Then they "reinforced things", and actually ADDED office space on top!......well, maybe when they tear half of it down for the...

^Brilliant...It all makes sense now!

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 ^Was thinking the same thing.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End ^ Thanks...I forgot about seeing that pic! It will definitely stand out as something very different for Boston. Classy but modern, it will look great during the day, and even better at night.

^That is not a current rendering. What's shown is from the original, 28 story tower proposal. I've been looking for a current render, and can't find one anywhere. I don't think there is one circulating yet.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End The PDF on the BRA website on this project includes statements by the developer that the Pelli designed office building is going to look very nice illuminated at night. Wonder just what they have in store? Lit up on top? Or perhaps the...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett ^Wow.....I need to get on Wynn's payroll. Wonder if he'll hire me as Chief liaison to Somerville.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 If 111 Federal will have a 360 degree observation deck, it may as well have a 360 degree revolving restaurant up there as well. Put parking below ground, retail/commercial on the bottom floors, condo/apartments in the...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I've been to Wynn/Vegas recently, and he definitely does things first class. Some of the best food I've ever had, and his water show La Reve (The Dream) was very impressive. His Everett casino renders show a similar concept to Vegas. I'm not sure about the $27...

^Off thread, but interesting anyway: 1.The Pru looks dated now, but upon it's completion in 1964 it was the tallest building in the world--outside of NYC! (Must've been quite the source of Pride for that generation of Bostonians) 2. The 749' tall Pru is dated, but is still the tallest structure...

NEAQ entertainment aspect aside, I wonder how much duplication goes on between the NEAQ and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on the research end. Maybe they could merge, and NEAQ could become the premier Aquarium in the country!...Feasible? Practical? I don't know, but why not?

^I checked it out, and you are correct. Massport owns it, and would not even consider letting it go for the Olympics, so I don't think an Aquarium idea would make them budge either. According to the post, they plan an "Itermodal/Industrial shipping complex". Is that what's next to Castle Island...
