Could be demo. It's pretty easy to get a demo permit.

This turned out much better than I expected. I wish they continued the orange facade around to the back of the building. The precast brick panels look cheap.

Can they leave those berms there with no fall protection? Thanks for all the pics BeeLine!

Does anyone know if this will cover the highway ramps coming of D Street, or will it stop short of the ramps?

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport CLF has lost its way. They started opposing the Northern Pass transmission project when they reached a $280M deal with a competing VT project. Now we'll get no renewable power from Canada.....

Depends on how they legalize sports gambling (if at all in Mass). If they legalize it but only in casinos - very good for Wynn. If they legalize more broadly (say by allowing anyone with a Keno license to take sports bets) - not as good for Wynn.

THIS. If you want to slap a progressive tax on uber wealthy than call it that. Don't invent some fake negative externality associated with vacant luxury units. Those units are already subsidizing people at the other end of the income spectrum via: Affordable housing linkage fees No kids in...

This. And the divergence has been exacerbated by the fact that profit trumps design for almost all large developments now. Buildings used to be financed by companies or individuals (both with egos). Now most large developments are financed by institutional money, REITs or PE funding. All...

I don't think people are saying "We can only talk architecture on Arch Boston". At least I'm not. There are whole threads devoted to urban planning and transit. But railing against capitalism is not germane to this development. Talk about finance, urban planning, the impact on transit...

Your link didn't lead to a study. It linked to an Op Ed written by the head of the main trade group whose only purpose (literally) is to advocate on behalf of non-union contractors. He mentions a study that showed it can increase costs and then mentions other studies (which he fails to dive...

Look out everyone. Coleslaw just went to a TED Talk on the dangers of unfettered capitalism.... Coleslaw, I'm sure there are message boards out their that deal with economic disparity and welfare issues. Most of us just come here to jerk off to BeeLine's pictures and have a lighthearted...

Re: Waterside Place 1B | 505 Congress Street | Seaport Tough day to be on the Suffolk / Derenzo team. Tragically lost an operator at Wynn and then had this incident at the Silver Line. I'm kind of floored they weren't required to install seismic monitoring all over the tunnel.

I noticed getting on Storrow today that there were four cranes up. Four tower cranes seems like a lot for that site.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett That made me chuckle. I got it.

So to sum things up.... The buzz in the Boston is that Antifa is trying to get Amazon to come to Winthrop Square to turn Boston into a sanctuary city. Did I get that right?

John, is $767 really good for new construction in the South End? That feels low to me but you'd know better than I.

Alot of old rail sites are. Think of some of the bulk goods that traveled by rail before their were environmental regulations. This made me laugh out loud. Kudos.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Source: I was involved in the site work construction. You are not exposed to highly contaminated soil. IIRC, all the highly contaminated soil that was going to be under pervious surface was required to be was covered in...

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Does anyone know if the casino is subject to MA liquor laws (will they be able to serve past 2AM)?

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) And the sneaky best part is that "park" is really a disposal zone for some of their most contaminated material. That "drumlin" is 3' of clean fill and marker barrier over very contaminated soils.
