    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    I think the custom boat concept is a brilliant way to contribute towards making it part of the "resort" feel. Even though it's just a boat ride,(plus a convenient option from that area) I think it will add to the excitement for those that will float in on them to the property....imagine for a...

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

    That's puzzling...my niece in Lynn has "Yankees suck" on her bumper. I wonder how she got up on that Hub on Causeway beam to post that message?* :) *Without getting caught. :p

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

    I think Beton Brut is right. It's already starting to take on the less-than-ideal look of the Pierce tower. The random multi-color accents cheapen it. But I'll withhold final judgement until it's completed.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    I wonder if they decided to cancel the curved escalators? (shown framing Popeye in the second set of Stick's pictures.) The first pic here shows a curved staircase, and it curves in the opposite direction as shown in the Popeye picture. I suppose it could just be a different room here with the...

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

    ^I would bet that the shortage of construction workers may have something to do with it. A BBJ article on August 6th of this year stated that Massachusetts faces the worst construction worker shortage in the country.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    According to Curbed Boston (and Focus Gaming News), Wynn's/Encore Boston Harbor is back on the market, and they are involved in "informal talks" with a potential buyer. Didn't they just commission some new custom boats for their water shuttle service? It seems odd that on the one hand, they seem...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Strangely, Their (Channel 7/WHDH) video online has a different ending. The Marty Walsh quote about wanting more floors and making it the tallest is gone, and the online version says Michael Dell is reportedly buying a unit. (which the television version earlier today did not say) ..... I thought...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Check out Channel 7 News tonight. (WHDH) They are featuring One Dalton on tonight's newscasts. At the end, they even add the fact that Mayor Walsh wanted them to push it a few floors higher to make it the tallest in the city, but he came into office too late for that, because they had already...

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

    If you check out Gensler's (office tower architect) website, they are still showing the previous design (with the spire/antenna) It seems odd they wouldn't have updated to the new iteration of the tower on their website seeing as it's totally different than the one they had. Maybe it just...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    If Wikipedia is correct, it will become the tallest building in history to be voluntarily demolished. The first on the list currently is the Singer Building,(612 feet/187 M) also in NYC, demolished in 1968 to make way for One Liberty Plaza.

    Harbor Garage Redevelopment Pontificating | Waterfront

    Harbor Towers' website says they have 624 residential units, and according to the Globe article (Lawsuits target high-rise, Thurs. 7/12/18), "A dozen residents and the CLF filed separate lawsuits Wednesday that urge a judge to stop a project that has the support of both the Walsh and Baker...

    Harbor Garage Redevelopment Pontificating | Waterfront

    Re: Harbor Towers sue to stop 600' Central Wharf Tower Can I sue Harbor Towers for violating Chapter 91 because THEIR towers are blocking my access to the harbor, or has the statute of limitations already run out? (sarcasm)

    You're right, tobyjug. It may have to be called an underwater groundfront garage. :-)

    Harbor Garage Redevelopment Pontificating | Waterfront

    There's an opinion page circulating today (BBJ) that hints to the fact that the author of the opinion piece thinks Chiofaro should be willing to "give" more to assure the project proceeds. (that's the way I read it anyway) Could he really "give" any more (i.e.:shorter tower?) and still have a...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    I remember the fiasco when this garage was deemed structurally unsafe, and had to be shut down. (if I remember correctly) Then next thing you know, they're adding two floors of office space on top of it! I guess they just wanted to make sure we all knew that they had fixed the "unsafe" aspect...

    Pierce Boston (née The Point )| Boylston St/Brookline Av | Fenway

    ^Thank you for that information regarding the color variation on the vertical strips. I thought some strips looked like different colors, but I suspected it could be different light reflections at different angles in some of the pictures. Actually, I'm surprised by the decision to use the...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Re: South Station Tower Well hal-le-freakin-lu-jah, That's great! Thanks for the breaking news. Now let's see if this thing actually gets built. I've gone almost totally grey since it was proposed. :)
