I love they got Bjarke Ingels Group for School of Management. It's nice to see something on a smaller scale locally, outside of Manhattan high rises. The Olver Design Building and Old Chapel Restoration also standout additons to everything else that has changed.

FWIW as a comparison - Seattle has approved zoning and updated codes for 6 over 1s and 5 over 2s. They felt the construction techniques had improved and fire department could still aequately handle 7 floors in an emergency. Still hate them...

Lolz... Don't be fooled into thinking that an abnormal number of tower cranes in the sky means Seattle is "better". Have some fun here looking at projects that haven't moved in inch in years: https://www.seattleinprogress.com/ There is also a giant hole in the ground, a la Filenes, from...

This of all things should have heads rolling? Not the ghosts of winter 2015, chronic under-funding, deferred maintenance, delays, derailments, of the rest of transit infrastructure?? Shiny tower or not, this is the least of the problems right now. Hopefully the construction will be well...

Was Gensler always on Phase II, or did TAC get sacked?

Plus Air Canada, Copa, and United's largest non-hub market. :)

I already know why.. but keep asking myself: What is the obsession/misconception in this city that the only supermarkets that can work, are 30-60K suburban style markets. I literally had 5 small format markets near my flat in London (most half the size, or likely less, than a typical suburban...

I can hear residents of The Clarendon lighting their torches and sharpening their pitchforks already.

Hyberbole, wiki copy pastes, echo chamber and love of ones own wordsmithing.

My Boston property taxes were a dream compared to Seattle, especially for an owner occupied condo...and part of the reason I'm happy to remain a renter for the moment. I can't wait for the garage to be gone, but for now, the tower with garage is creating some great light and shadow.

I stayed there Friday evening, and it was in line with expectations...designed for the 'gram, and you could tell the construction was kind of shit in places. The room was comfy enough for just me, and had all the tech bells and whistles. The view... esp from 10th floor... Anyway, it did not...

The unnamed new hotel for Congress Square/Quaker Lane: http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/7283ec1e-1dd4-4f01-bb5c-d10807c86b06

FYI - Another big bird coming to BOS with LH increasing Munich capacity: Munich – Boston eff 29MAR20 A380 replaces A340-600, 1 daily

The crane is starting to come down on the residential tower. Who knows when, or if, we'll see so many cranes dotting North Station/West End/Bulfinch Triangle ever again. https://app.oxblue.com/open/bostonproperties/huboncauseway

And yet not wrong, especially in the land of NIMBYism.

I can see demographic "concerns" being that you're paying $4-5K for a studio in a city where catering to students tend to overrun the concerns of working adults. You tend to think the worst, even if it's potentially unfounded. It is being treated as a dorm, even though it's not. People also...

I you already know the answer to that. :D What a wasted opportunity with that beautiful puddingstone. Almost insulting... fk it, it is.

Oh how I wish City could accommodate an A321. I'd gladly pay the premium to avoid Heathrow Express, Picadilly Line, or the M4....or the shit hole that is Gatwick.

It's easier to build quickly than wasted time and money having protracted fights with Chinatown and Leather district, a la Two Financial Center. Build it and flip it... I bet we end up with 18 floors, or less, when all is said and done.

Like an official groundbreaking, silver shovels in the dirt mayoral media gaggle? I don't think so..
