^^Great! I'm curious what the reaction will be by the BCDC at the presentation, and if there seems to be sizable opposition from the neighbors. Especially in relation to the "hotel" drop-off area.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 ^Accordia!!!...........course we never saw HYM renders. Plus the final laundry list of wishes/wants/needs for the project may bring a whole new set of exciting proposals........April 21st! :)

^Agreed!...this current setup looks like a hotel setup with lots of 24hr action. There isn't even a hotel component....and it's not a "bike lobby", because the "bike garage" entrance is on Province Court.

^Accordia has a proposal for a copper glass tower....and I LOVE that one, this one, not so much. Just wish they were already chosen for that project.

^^I would think that the actual design of the top is mostly dictated by the the status of the buildings' purpose. For example, is it mostly residential (apartments, condos), or is the building primarily commercial/office in nature. If you look at the skyline in most cities, what buildings have...

^ That looks much better!....now this idea should be presented tomorrow night at the BCDC meeting. It's a public meeting, and they are soliciting the public's input. I think they'd be impressed! (well, maybe not everybody) :)

^^I wouldn't necessarily equate cantilever with 60/70's. It just looks like they cloned a Copley Place Tower-like-design, fattened it up where it juts out, and called it a day. (and I like the rounded Copley design) The result to me is a dated looking design from many angles, especially from the...

^^Well said, although Boston Properties blamed the NIMBYs for the reduced height at North Station, when they were asked about that by an AB member at the big reveal/meeting.

^^I still think it looks 70's-ish from most angles, and no, I'm not insane! (If I was insane, how could I have slipped out of my straight jacket so easily to write this?)

^^I agree 100%!...looks dated...vintage late 70's-ish. I am very disappointed with this. I do love how this adds a new high profile peak, it will really stand out in the skyline, I just can't get my arms around that design.

^That's almost enough to make the buyer of the $37.5mil MT penthouse jealous! That and the fact that Tom, Gisele and family may be neighbors at 1 Dalton also. (that's what I read somewhere anyway)

Wonder if dshoost88 has heard about this Tuesday's BCDC meeting? One Bromfield will be discussed approx. 8:20-8:50pm.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett ^Not really, Curtatone just reiterated more of the same. The two show hosts did their best to back him into a corner with the prevailing argument that he has almost zero chance of changing anything, and he is just wasting over $1 million of taxpayer funds...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End ^^Beton Brut, why does an interest in architecture history make a person sad? Don't worry, I am not going to fight to preserve the Brutalist garages! :)

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End ^Thank you for the tip on that book, I'm ordering it today. I guess I always noticed we have an abundance of concrete structures, but never really thought much about the actual history behind them, or realized just how impactful they are in a...

Re: 28-story tower planned for Downtown Crossing ^I apologize, I saw that the project was filed with the BRA way back when, but I didn't know the particulars.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Mayor Curtatone is on Channel 5 (WCVB) 11:00am today/Sunday morning show (On The Record).

Mayor Curtatone will be on Channel 5 Sunday morning at 11:00am. (Show's called "On The Record")

^^Posts from 2010 state that Midwood retains properties they develop, instead of selling them to investors, and they plan on doing the same with this proposal. There were some posts recently that suggested this could be a "pump and dump" plan, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. I hope this...

Re: 28-story tower planned for Downtown Crossing ^^This post from 2010 shows the project was filed with the BRA, so it looks like this should fall under "Notice of project change". More recently, they've been working with the BRA as well...... I can't make the Tuesday meeting. It would be...
