I'm confused why folks are calling the white cladding "plastic" or "discount materials". The white cladding is Alpolic Cladding which is Aluminum Composite Metal (ACM). This is high quality products that are used extensively on new builds (and is most certainly NOT cheap). And at least there is...

Type IV is not necessarily Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). It is part of the Type IV construction type, but as king_vibe alluded to, Type IV is specific for heavy timber in general which is much larger members that are still combustible, but have much different burn characteristics then light...

From an urban perspective, I am liking the DREAM-Onyx proposal better. The Trinity Financial one is more straightforward, but the amount of surface space for cars cutting through the site, especially on the east end of the parcel, bugs me. Also the fact that Trinity has one more curb cut on to...

Not sure why Quincy would do this without any activation around it. I would think a developer could do something like this. The blue area could be a garage (go below grade and above grade), the red outline could be ground floor activated commercial (IHOP, Urgent Care could be possible tenants?)...

As a WIT grad (Class '11), I can attest that WIT is doing lots of good things. As a native New Englander living in the south, watching WIT's progress from afar is really encouraging. I really hope they are maintaining all the land ownership because that land is sooooo freaking valuable as we...

Really like the emphasis paid to the bike parking. Would've hoped to have more than one fix-it stand or bike wash, but baby steps.

Curtain wall install has begun on the State Street side of the addition

My bad, I shouldn't have used that reference. I really just wanted to give the impression of a blank wall, and I know how the aB forum has expressed their love for that wall over time. My original point was to say that you don't always need fire rated curtain wall, as long as there is a...

I agree entirely! I worked on the new Johnson and Wales building and we ended up using rated curtain wall in A LOT of places. The stairs came out awesome! If i remember correctly though, technically you only need curtain rated glass if it is within 15'-0" of another glazing system (curtain...

Re: Parcel P-12 | Chinatown Just as an FYI, as someone who has been going to the community meetings for this project, this project will get done. a lot of the talk on the street is MP is going to be partnering with community groups to bring their affordable units from Winthrop Tower here (as...

Thanks for the update Beeline. Crazy to think how narrow this site actually is!

The new building portion of this project has sprouted. It’s been climbing out of the ground fairly quickly now that they’ve started vertical.

Don’t know how I’ve missed this, but a new sweetgreen location has opened up on the first floor of the 60 State Street building.

Re: Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown Not that I am a fan of the shadow laws, but if I understand them correctly, all the buildings casting shadow in this image are within the Midtown Cultural District and are therefore exempt from the shadow laws. Can anyone...

So I lived in Pawtucket for a few years and would drive this route alot. They just recently (within the last year) finished the new I-295 interchange, and now I believe they are replacing the north and south bridges just north of the interchange. They did a similar project up in Boxboro for the...

Re: North-South Rail Link I will be attending this.

^^^ I have the mouth of a sailor on most days, but even i know by using the language that you are using pretty much invalidates any and all points you make, no matter the validity of them. You can do better.

Re: Pier 4 Office Tower | 140 Northern Ave | Seaport As always, thanks for the pics BeeLine! I will hold my final judgement till the entire pier is done, but as this has been glazed more and more, the more disappointed I am. I understand that it is sandwiched between several buildings and they...

Being that it is being brought by the city council, why would this have to go through the state government? (Sorry for the lack of understanding the politics of it all) I think this would be an amazing thing. Granted there will be opposition in terms of people saying the builders will pass this...

Anyone know what is going on at the corner of High and Congress?? Just walked by and they are demoing the stone clad entry way. Turner doing the work and looks like JLL is the owner.
