    Minneapolis | Twin Cities

    Minneapolis has a YIMBY message for America: Build more houses and get rid of suburban-style zoning and inflation will disappear Imagine that, cut red tape, provide incentives, build a lot of housing in the city and adjacent burbs along transit lines and rents don't go through the roof.

    Assembly Square Gateway | 65-75 Mystic Ave | Somerville

    Lol, I was pitched to participate in this investment. Cool to see they pulled it all together.

    Simmons University Living and Learning Center | 300 Fenway | Longwood

    In the render on p.14, I was wondering who pasted in a bike on the bike rack on the lower left with a 7am stroller/baby sleeping bag for winter travel in what is supposedly summer. They added the building and landscaping to the late fall/early winter photo from p.13. The things your eyes focus...

    Foundation Medicine (Parcel P) | 400 Summer Street | Seaport

    Love the building, but still unsure about the NY Port Authority metal cross-braces. Also, those are some large panel gaps on the cross pieces.

    The Mason | 85-87 & 111 Boston Street | Everett

    I had that exact GE range in my last apartment. It is/was about $1200, so not bargain basement cheapo and the griddle in the middle makes excellent pancakes.

    Amazon Office II/SeaPAC | 1 Boston Wharf Rd. (Seaport Sq Parcel L5) | Seaport

    I started looking at how massive this building is and how are they going to get people to come into the office, etc. Then I remembered Boston's failed bid for Amanzon's HQ2 - which turned out to be a good thing, and the whole thing was postponed, anyway. Imagine if that went through.

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

    I am late to this one. Luxury offices? That office market is not so hot these days. Why not have RAMSA design one of their many ~15-story early 20th century, Rosario Candela-inspired Upper East Side condo buildings there? It would fit perfectly aesthetically.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Combining 2 units = double the HOA fee. I guess if you are dropping $12M at 1 Dalton, you are not so concerned, but I would bet is is around $5-6K per month. Cute that they left it our of the listing.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    What is the wall material? I have seen that shade of greyish, off-white-ish, sort of "old whale bones" color in a lot of new buildings.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I used to work at Deloitte and the Boston office is in the old John Hancock building, and is spread across a couple of floors. This will be a good move for them.

    Channelside (née P&G) | 244-248 A Street | Fort Point

    Question to the architectural cognoscenti here: How long will this curved corner windows, colossal order, etc. with bronze metal cladding thing continue, and how do you think it will age? I like it a lot (especially the curved glass windows), but it seems this is the new offset window, albeit...

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    Tight package, this. I was skeptical of the renders - looked ho-hum. I like the way it has come out.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    When did we turn our backs on this building and start throwing so much shade?

    Minneapolis | Twin Cities

    These mf's living in the residential tower's south side will have an excellent view of watching the Twins play amateur baseball. ;) I'm looking forward to this hotel's completion. The North Loop needs more than 1 other boutique, a Residence by Marriott, an Element, and a Four Seasons...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    That looks like some complex steel assembly going up at the base. Too bad it is shrouded by South Station.

    Mildred Hailey (Bromley Heath) BHA Redevelopment | Jackson Square | Jamaica Plain

    I lived in Jackson Square for many years and it was a dump (a violent dump with gunfire often heard at night) when I moved in and a lot better when I moved out (ex. City Feed had just opened), but forward momentum has been slow in that neighborhood relative to other areas in the city. I am...

    Medford Life Science Park | 278-326 Mystic Ave | Medford

    I love that there is often a car fanatic that sneaks cool cars into renderings and most people don't notice. There is an ultra-rare, Lancia Delta (might be an even more rare Integrale spec) in white parked at the corner - never imported to the US. It was a little monster designed for 80's...

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

    I am sorry to ask this, but after digging around, I could not find it, but how tall is the taller one going to top out at (behind the La Quinta hotel)?

    On The Dot | 505 Dorchester Avenue | South Boston

    You may be right. I was thinking it was a last-minute decision to add and they had a junior staffer to quickly whip this up in 20 minutes.
