Sadness and ennui are the words that come to mind.

Wow, definitely different looking on the other side of the MA Pike. Looks like 1980's Somerville.

Wow. What happened to all those "no casting shadows on the park" and "historically significant minutiae" people while all of this is going on?

This is Robert Stern's Eleven in Minneapolis. It is really well executed. I just posted this in my shiny new Minneapolis thread. As I stated there, I have no idea why there aren't 5 of these in Boston.

Here is Ye Olde skyline. The wide glass slab in the front left is the RBC Gateway that has RBC Bank and the new Four Seasons hotel and condos. I checked it out and it is really well done. As the first luxury branded hotel in the city (strangely this city has no Ritz, St Regis, Four Seasons -...

No one: Absolutely no one: Me: Here is something you didn't know you needed until now....a Minneapolis development thread!! 🍾 I live here, so might as well post stuff. This is Eleven, designed by Robert A.M. Stern. It was completed a couple of months ago and people have started moving in. It...

Van, I know you have been in NYC for some time now, and I didn't get why all the money and effort was going into a new Penn station, but after living near Penn for several years, and that it is North America's busiest train station and one heck of a cramped, almost dangerously cramped hole at...

So if I am orienting this correctly, this will sort of create a St. Alphonsus street wall?

I was going to be generous and say Vancouver or Mississauga, Canada.

Logan's proximity to downtown Boston is amazing, as is South Station & Back Bay for Amtrak. When I worked in Consulting, I could walk from my apartment in Hudson Yards to the train at Penn, then take the Acela to South Station and walk to our Boston office. The logistics were so seamless...

Bro, me too. I probably passed you on my way to class in Fulton Hall (I was CSOM).

I guess time keeps ticking into the future and I am not one usually to lament the loss of a building in the name of progress but sucks to see that place go (or have gone already). Tons of fond memories there.

As a father, all I wonder when I see the entirety of this photo is, "where are that little girl's parents!"

Nah, it is actually a satellite campus for the Charles Hotel.

Another aspirational render, IMO. I worked in a midtown Manhattan high rise with a roof terrace (one of our floors was just above a step back so we had outdoor roof space. It was on the 23rd or 24th floor and for our space the building management and all sorts of people got involved. We had...

1. I love the palm trees. My favorite thing in Boston-area renders are tropical plants. Followed by cars in the render that aren't sold in the US (i.e., Peugeot, Citroen, etc.) and very active open spaces with people everywhere that will be windswept desolation upon completion. 2. Saugus and...

Please tell me you pulled over to the side of the tracks to take that picture and were not in fact driving the train when you took the pic.

When I was a kid, Davis was an absolute pit. No character or gritty charm, just a dump. We would go to Teddy's shoes and then to McDonald's across the street if things were good. It has been cleaned up and mildly up for 20 years now, IMO. So, a project like this I find surprising it has...

Wow, there is a lot going on here from a finishes, materials, colors, shapes, etc. perspective. For those in this business, does this all work? It seems a bit busy and erratic.

There will be cranes.
