As much as I would love to see the Greenway mostly covered in development, I doubt we can consider it "one of Boston's prime buildable sites" with any degree of realism.

Re: TD Garden Towers This is not what I was expecting but I don't completely hate it. The brick portion is small and PoMo in the traditional sense (more an ironic gesture toward the past than anything). My biggest wish would be that the entry arch be wider horizontally, maybe, for an even...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Well, anything can look decent from that distance.

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore, Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) If by "eliminated" you mean "part of Phase 2". But yeah, who knows if it's likely to actually happen.

Yes. My god, this. Harrod's closed its last overseas location, in Buenos Aires, a few years ago. I wouldn't hold your breath.

I'm thinking the problem might be the blue background? It doesn't seem necessary at night and it highlights the cheapness of the material during the day, which might look less offensive against weathered stone.

Re: Waterside Place Shit is thin...in the worst way possible.

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Tiny "innovation space" crammed between vents and the "drive court". LOL.

Point to add - Faneuil Hall Marketplace was another retail competitor to DTC that helped kill it (slowly). Central Boston maybe couldn't support three major shopping districts. Or maybe it could, and it was online retail that delivered the death knell to the least coordinated and well-prepared...

Re: Joslin Place ^ The ivy is nice too. Where is that building?

Re: The Victor That kind of development in Midtown West is relatively recent. We're talking about the 1960s.

"DTC needs to do something the suburbs don't do" is a fallacious argument for at least two reasons: 1. It presupposes that people don't live or will be living in DTC who will want similar amenities as those who live in the suburbs, ignoring all evidence to the contrary (e.g. the success of the...

Re: The Victor NY's urban renewal was much more limited vis a vis its overall urban fabric, though, for the most part was intended to improve housing conditions by "de-slumming" the poor into projects, rather than stoke economic development, and didn't touch nearly any of the city's central...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Looks nice from this angle too!

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans Whoa that is some psychedelic neon greenery in that last pic.

Pity the poor designer tasked with making that chain link fence look "cool".

I like this development overall, but what is that winding path through the buildings in pic 1? Looks very towers in the park esque. Do not want.
