    Tai Tung Village Expansion | 288 Harrison Avenue | Chinatown

    So next time there’s an RFP put your money where your mouth is and show us how it’s done rather than incessantly whining.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Would be nice if next summer instead of the A380 we get the fourth frequency back with a mix of 777/A350/787.

    Maybe when his ad revenue hits rock bottom he’ll address this. Otherwise I can’t imagine he gives a damn about the user experience.

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Oh I know. It also probably would’ve cost a few hundred million more to build but imho it was a better concept and a more appealing aesthetic. It wouldn’t have looked like every other airport in the world inside.

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Meh. Looks as cold and sterile as every other airport. I still think what KPF came up with would have been a better option.

    Name this US city and related urban trivia!

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Security concerns, upfront investment in building out the space and also partitioning off a visitor-specific lobby and elevators(assuming two required by code), annual operating costs plus the risk of upsetting existing business tenants by reducing the quality of their experience.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Looks like the highest priced unit so far(29C - $8.066m) has gone to an LLC associated with David Desmond, a nephew of Donald Trump and son of his sister Maryanne.

    RI economy touted at giant warehouse ground breaking

    We don’t need a whole thread for a month-old story about the construction of a warehouse and some remarks from a state official.

    Harriet Tubman House | 566 Columbus Avenue | South End

    First closing was Tuesday. $1.675m for a 1370 square foot two bedroom with one deeded parking space so this is looking like a much more accessible price point than a lot of the other new construction in recent years.

    Covering costs is one thing and there are better and less intrusive ways to do that but the ads are nothing but monetization for the sake of monetization and at this point it’s obvious that the user experience is secondary. Everyone has to make a living somehow but the viability of someone...

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    The marble work is great but the signage is [not surprisingly] tacky. The St. Regis logo alone would have been far more elegant.

    It’s probably also about maintaining year round first class service.

    Looks cold and sterile, as if the design brief called for an airport lounge furnished by Ikea.
