Charleston SC - The Cooper Hotel u/c and the Charleston Waterfront Park extension:

The Charleston Stern-designed buildings are gorgeous. Proof that when cities demand excellence it is delivered. Take note Boston.

In Norwalk (not South) the long stalled Wall Street Place apartments finally buzzing. And the perspective from Mill Hill across the Norwalk River:

I was in New Haven today and noticed a construction project well underway on State Street at Chapel that includes the restoration of several existing structures and a new building rising on what was a former parking lot. After some sleuthing I was able to find that Beacon of Boston is...

Aventura FL has a 400 footer and a population of about 38k.

^St Pete has no doubt eclipsed Tampa and the comparison is stark enough that statements like yours are made often. I would still suggest that S. Florida cities (Miami, Miami Beach, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) are all ahead of St Pete due to sheer density in their urban cores. The transit...

I wish Boston got even one of these neo art deco buildings of this caliber.

A study to fund Orlando’s Sunshine Corridor rail project is underway: https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/03/25/sunshine-corridor-orange-county-commissioners-to-vote-on-funding-sunrail-expansion/ The Sunshine Corridor project would support to two systems: - expansion of the Orl...

A few updates on the Norwalk WALK bridge replacement project — the scale of this is not captured by these pictures. The construction extends from the East Norwalk train station across Norwalk River and through South Norwalk. Project website: https://www.walkbridgect.com/design/ Render:

This may not improve the station but State Street is finally getting some love: Lower State Street Connectivity project

I always make it a point to spend time in Wooster Square when traveling through New Haven— it’s architecturally rich and a delightfully preserved space.

Looking good Norwalk!

Pretty renders - how do they look in actuality? Reminds me of the Parisian style blocks in Baku.

While COM is arguably the ugliest building on campus the interior is relatively functional and targeted renovations have kept it modern. The decades-long discussion of its replacement is not about funding and donors, rather campus-wide strategic planning. Given the land constraints, BU (not...

It’s been said before but it’s hard to look at this transition from the archway to the tower base above (or overhead mechanical space if that is what is up there). At very least a softer color to blend in with the South Station facade would have been appreciated).

Just curious what would you propose for glass instead? A grayish blue tint perhaps? I listened to the BPD presentation where it was stated that the exposed timber in the design covers 20% of the building facade and that is maximum exposure allowed by regulation.

A few more renderings from the BPD presentation-- From the Charles: Bay State:

For that to have happened they would have needed to add another 1-2 floors to the existing building.

The infill of Allston / Brighton over the last decade must rival any of neighborhood in the city — perhaps because there are many more opportunities there to actually redevelop. Whatever the reason may be, it is impressive to behold.

That building is set to make way for an expanded mall / lawn area in the longer range IMP. The School of Social Work would need to be relocated first which I suspect may end up in the buildings vacated by the existing Pardee School who are spread out among Bay State Rd buildings.
