Re: One Greenway - Chinatown Parcel 24 Hideous. I hate that glass (elevator?) spine. The color is all wrong - orange? Turn it back on its side and send it back to the Florida office park it came from.

Re: South Boston Development The amazing thing about all this is that it's all being done in the same 1840s-style vernacular, even down to the random intermixing of wood and brick buildings. Would've preferred brick and brownstone only, but not complaining about this relative to the Seaport.

Downtown Crossing needs authority compelling landlords to rent out storefronts for below market rates far more than it needs graffiti removal or tourist ambassadors. Maybe the tax will finally drive them to recoup some loss on their empty property.

Gets talked up everywhere; gets actually implemented nowhere.

Now let's see downtown, with Millennium, the TD Towers and the Congress Street Garage?

I wish the city would give Marketplace Center a few feet of sidewalk space (or, heaven forbid, reduce a traffic lane on the surface artery so the sidewalk could be left at the same width) to add on a new facade, which it could finance by adding floors...

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower My god it's so beautiful. Tears in eyes. The brick sidewalk (can't remember if it's actually brick there or just looks that way in the render) has to go though. Clashes with too much with the bold modernity of the new building.

Re: Boston to Cape rail That full car ad is a good idea. Does the route pass anywhere by Route 3? The tease during jams would be great.

Is there a render for this condo beyond the vague views of Fan Pier in general that've been bandied about many times?

Not enough. That facade needs more than a few windows and doors punched through the bare brick wall.

Is that massing correct? These new towers both look so slim!

You mean like glorious downtown DC?

Re: Waterside Place Congress St. by Fanueil Hall is also a disaster that needs fixing. Fair.

Seems like a strange place for offices, vs. residences.

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Sigh...this fatty is going to dominate views down Huntington.

This is actually brilliant. Well, maybe just "All-Bro" is. Okay, and "J-Play".

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown "Form follows function" isn't a dictate Boston's ever followed well itself.

Enjoy the lushness while it lasts; come each October it'll revert to barren median strip.

Re: Waterside Place For the record, not everyone is giving three cheers to the Greenway. Some pretty, well-framed pictures on aB and you all forget the fact that it's lined by massive surface streets, contains offensive ramp parcels and rarely achieves any of the "stitching" that was promised...
