    74M (EDGE Assembly Sq.) | 74 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

    This is a big building and in Somerville, so yes it will take a while. However, "new life science" is not dead. Boston continues to outperform every other market. VC funding returned last year, as did new clinical trial starts, and M&A is picking up - 2023 was a bad year and 2024 was flat, 2025...

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    I saw the building in person on Friday afternoon. Maybe because it was a bright sunny day, but I think the building looks fine. It doesn't look cheap to me in person. It looks like it fits in well with the rest of the surrounding buildings. I would probably not have noticed it if I hadn't seen...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    BOSTON WASN'T READY FOR ME! Sorry, that's what the Gen Z kids say. I was in town for work. Boston looks amazing these days. This entryway is amazing in person. It just looks like it was bolted on to the 1980s glass SS facade, though. From the seaport, kid.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    It was incredibly windy when standing in the common space between the buildings on Friday with the wind funneling between the 2 buildings.

    Old dirty New York

    One of the best stories about Hudson Yards is the McDonalds on the corner of 10th Ave and W34th Street. It was a massive McDonalds and had a parking lot, mainly full of taxis. Supposedly the franchisee owned the land (can't seem to verify online) - I bet no one wanted the land as that side of...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    I wonder why some of the renderings include 175 Park Ave "The Commodore" in them when 175 is a monster that distracts you from the main subject.

    Eli Lilly IGM | 15 Necco Street | Fort Point

    With a "logo you can see from space!"

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    I thought we were done with offset windows.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    I can't wait for this project to be completed so you all can shift to something new to complain about. I guess I could stop reading this thread, too. But why take responsibility for my actions? :p

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    Love the first picture. For those of us living in exile, getting an occasional shot from a distance at street level is nice for orienting where a project is.

    Lab/Office | 109 Brookline Avenue | Fenway

    That 3-story medical office building with an adjoining parking lot seems even more out of place.

    Harvard Enterprise Research Campus | 100 Western Avenue | Allston

    That first photo is giving Port Authority exoskeleton vibes.

    585 Kendall | 585 Third Street | Kendall Square

    I love how crowded Kendall is getting that you sometimes only see a sliver of massive buildings because there are now so many more buildings. I am also impressed that developers keep finding new places to stuff a 12-story lab building over there.

    Old Colony phase 4, 5, & 6 | 72-110 Mercer street | South Boston

    Where I was going is that while these buildings look cheap, and are quite dull on the outside, are actually well built vs what is available in the surrounding area. Also, the interiors are generally very good quality with modern, open floorplans, new appliances, in-unit laundry, no lead paint or...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I think this will take time to lease out on office and sell on the residential side. Look at the billionaire buildings in NYC. Those sold very slowly. Also, midtown Manhattan commercial leasing activity has been on fire lately - this is the core old-school Midtown (not Hudson Yards). It has...
