Snoozefest is better than our usual response at this stage. What I want to know is when the residential portion starts.

I explained exactly why I think those choices are made. I asked why can't the cheap materials be used differently- the pseudo brick thing just cheapens the looks further (in the non-monetary sense). I mean, they could just choose black instead for a color and it would look better. If they...

Absolutely not the same building, but I really can't be outraged without knowing what kind of condition it was in before. At least there's still going to be an actual stone facade- something way too expensive to see in all-new construction these days.

I'm with you on this one. It strikes me as a lazy attempt to make new buildings fit in with all the surrounding brick buildings. The value of those older buildings are the materials theirselves, not the color of them. If you're going to use a cheaper, more modern material then just try to use it...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End It sounds like he's just fantasizing to us while touching himself. Like sexting, only on a message board while talking about tall buildings.

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport I suppose, but let's say I come from local old money, and wanted to be in the city, I'd opt for a beautifully restored place in the back bay, and hiring service really isn't too difficult.

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport I'm guessing it's to appeal to "new money". Old money wears their designer labels as a discreet tag on the inside. Conspicuous consumption isn't that classy.

Probably a specific estimated completion date for some kind of repairs?

I would hope at the very least briv has given someone his contact info after this incident

I wonder if it's supposed to look like a satin ribbon wrapped around the building? Which is sort of neat but god the up-close shots make it look cheap.

That name is REALLY bothering me for some reason.

To the full blown architects in here, a question: is it possible that 3d printing could make elaborate and beautiful facades an affordable option in the near future? I've had this thought a few times and have been curious about whether it will bring back attractive buildings with intricate details.

That pallet being lifted looks like it's about to break... I'm guessing it didn't or we'd probably have pictures of that...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) At least we are clearly in the "major global city" development tier. Even if we are super stumpy. You can't go tall here anyways.

Mind you, the example room is citizen m since we don't yet know what brand this will take on, if any.

I became incredibly curious about this building, dug around for some history. "Fens Gatehouse Built in 1909 at the connection between the Stony Brook and the Boston Marginal Conduits, this gatehouse is now land-locked by the widening of Esplanade in the 1950's."...

Gonna guess it's not going to be too different of a layout from the citizen m going in at North Station. (Do we know what the branding might be?)

Does this mean we are letting in New members?

Huh, can't say I've ever noticed any terracotta roofs in the area before, as seen in the foreground of this pic.

Scandals that go in this thread: playing fart recordings at passing strangers Scandals that don't go in this thread: right wing smear campaigns aimed at a literally dying conservative who has dared stand up to the supreme leader Trump. No stupid propaganda ffs.
