    Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels)

    They are a pain to maintain. Developers hate them, but most people love them. Given the scale of Seaport Square, one grand fountain or water feature doesn't seem like an inappropriate requirement.

    Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels)

    Phenomenal video. In viewing it though I am reminded of a feature that the Seaport lacks - a great fountain. As a fountain/water feature junky, I believe there is a need for more and better water features (apart from the Harbor itself of course). In general, Boston does not have many great...

    Winter Garden | 100 Federal St. | Financial District

    A casualty of value engineering I suspect.

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    Re: Parcel 9 - The Greenway Landmarks can be a problem, but the BRA design folks often shoot this stuff down on their own accord. They are very conservative when it comes to signage.

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    Re: Parcel 9 - The Greenway It appears that they eliminated the large Haymarket sign which would have been a cool feature and provide a dramatic entrance to the "Market District from the North End/Greenway. The BRA (excuse me, BPDA) routinely quashes large, bold signs, unless you are a large...

    Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Downtown

    Re: Dock Square Parking Garage, 20 Clinton Street I like it, including the recladding of the garage. From the description, I don’t think the recladding will be done on the cheap at all, unless it is VEed to death. From the PNF:

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I don’t particularly like the design either, but this and several other comments are way over the top. If this is really the ugliest design you’ve seen anywhere, you haven’t been looking around all that much. This will ruin Boston? Please the level...

    Innovation Square (iSQ) | 6 Tide St. | Seaport

    Not that it is a big deal, but this is a four story building, not three as has been stated in many of the prior posts.

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

    The owners of the Boston Bruins have nothing to do with whether they build the office tower now. That decision is in the hands of Boston Properties which controls development of the site.

    The Boulevard (née The Times/Littlest Bar) | 110 Broad St | Downtown

    Considered the Boston palette for a long time. International Place as originally proposed used bluish granite. The BRA shot it down as clashing with the Boston motif.

    The practice is to date the PDA the date of the BPDA Board meeting at which it will be presented, considered and voted on by the BPDA Board.
