If only they could fix the few remaining windows at one congress...

you spoke my thoughts precisely! :)

I like the bridge w/o the paneling, but I'm sure it'll be nice after the install. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting you bring that up. I've been a little curious about maintenance/cleaning of said domes.

It's being placed in a spot which is currently surface parking, not a brownstone: "Project Description Trustees of Boston University (the “Proponent”) proposes to transform an existing 56,900-square foot (“sf”) surface parking lot into the Fredrick S. Pardee School of Global Studies (the...

Extremely informative and fascinating info. Thanks for sharing!

I hear ya and that's unquestionably true. I still find it remarkable that such a large parcel in such a competitive market segment would remain vacant for so long. I used to live right near that former Star Market and my rinky-dink condo is now worth nearly 4x what it sold for in 2008.

Appreciate the new renders and this is (of course) better than the vacant lot that's been there for going on 20 years, but when I talked to someone allegedly working on the project last fall I was told they were breaking ground this coming spring. Now they "expect" to get going sometime this...

Enthusiastic agree. Anyone thinking otherwise is downright “moronic” (heya @curcuas!)

Proof that it can be done correctly. Boston should demand much more from developers, particularly in spots such as this.

bigtime Burlington office-park vibes that's super incongruous with everything else around it. even the WHOOP building is better.

I use the GLX daily. It's amazing. I'm not discounting critiques; I am saying that, big picture, all of these stations and the extended reach of light rail is huge. I love it.

Good call!

The OG Great Scott had a capacity of 240

That is very pretty, you're right. I suspect that if I lean too far into my "side" of the conversation so far, I'll lose touch with objective good/bad of the situation(s) being discussed. I'd wager a realistic assessment might argue that, thusfar, we've both been a little too dogmatic. Boston...

Connoisseur need not be equivalent to snob. I, too, think it'd be just swell if every new building was hand-laid brick and featured fine detail-work, solid materials, and represent elegant and/or adventurous design. There were workers' huts and farms mere yards away from the Parthenon was it...

And the triple-deckers that remain in most non-CBD areas of metro Boston were only estimated to have a lifespan of 50 or so years. Not everything can be built with the highest-cost and highest quality materials and this fact has been true since... forever. Plenty of "our city" is being built...

You make it sound like they'll ultimately slash initial asking price in half. They won't. This will be a desirable spot and the units will be very expensive, whatever the ultimate pricing.

I was at S Station this morning—objectively a very cold one — and the actual station was plenty warm. The outdoor track area was cold, sure, but it’s, y’know… OUTSIDE. Not a big surprise or a big deal.

It's clearly a "nice weather" amenity and of COURSE potential litigation and liability plays a role. FWIW the last three(!) times I was in NYC, the "Red Steps" in Times Square were blocked/closed to the public. For the exact same reaons. "Occasionally, you may arrive at Times Square and find...
