That's some intense marketing bluster considering there is literally nothing that is hip about this. Location? Bleh. Design? Neotraditionalist. Likely tenants? Wealthy, boring.

Re: Christian Science Church Center Renovation/ New Towers So where is this massive park they're proposing supposed to go?

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown Admittedly looks less bad than the paneling we saw before. But that was a low bar to beat.

Re: Waterside Place This is basically how I feel, but cue several forumers arguing that the area is actually "packed with people" because of a couple waterfront restaurants and some lost conventioneers.

Re: Fan Pier ^ That aerial makes it look like they might be starting construction on the residential portions!? Or is that stuff on the residential building sites just spillover from other construction?

Re: Waterside Place At least it improved the streetscape! Oh wait, no, that street is still a gigantic traffic sewer.

Never seen such an extensive website for a parcel before.

^ I has confusion over where this is with these new hats on the buildings.

Re: Verizon Building Tower Buildings, I think.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place 1. Legal Sea Foods is the Dunkin Donuts of upper middle class fish restaurants in Boston. There are too many around, at the expense of a greater diversity of dining options, and while they're okay, they're not amazing. Yet still popular with a lot of...

Re: Waterside Place Did they pre-grime some of those panels to make sure that the verisimilitude to the decaying housing blocs of 80s Eastern Europe was just right?
