I agree 100%.

"A vibrant nucleus"?! Wow. Maybe call it an "incubator". My sarcasm is only as deep as my belly button... Let's call a spade a spade and just say that Simmons is dying and they need some cash.

I'll butt in and be a jerk. I see all the comments and raise you 819 Beacon St. and Maitland St., vs this and Pilgrim Rd. The park for 819 has been moved away from Beacon, just as the park here should be moved to Pilgrim Rd, as JumboBuc suggested. In my opinion, a streetwall is important on...

It must of been really bad inside. Even a complete redo/reimagined first 5 floors with a reclad crown would of made more sense to me, ala the courthouse.

Community involvement has translated into superior construction for once. The crane, the steel...it speaks to a level of attention not often found these days. I love that they are still iterating the design, and have not VE'd. This thing is being built to last. My only hope is for real brick...

It has always amazed me how little foot traffic there is on Washington St. on that block. It really speaks to the overall degradation of the immediate area wrought by "urban renewal", both Melania Cass and the projects. Also, Jim Rice field is criminally under used by the community, while...

The city REALLY needs to figure out the Morrissey Blvd. traffic circle asap. The traffic in that area is going to be insane...it is already intense, but...2000 more apartments AND office space that rivals the Pru...?! I vote for a continuous flow intersection (CFI) at the circle combined with a...

Like, um, the Emerald Necklace...

Absolutely not. Anybody who gets close to these things is a creeper. Note our stalwart photo team, who don't.

"High spine"

And then 10 more in Eggleston and Forest Hills. YIMBY on the Southwest Corridor, all the way to Dedham.

These are fantastic examples of what happens when you know how to use a camera. Kudos David, the composition/framing ...yes

This site is larger than it looks. I'm not an engineer, but logistics could be an issue regarding the W. Springfield corner of the site. There really isn't any logical egress for even medium construction equipment to access the site from that corner, and the people in the way are rich. My...

I guess I am deaf about all yalls complaints in regards to the height change of this building. Lest we forget, the top floors were A PRISON. "And here is my bathroom, which used to hold people in solitary awaiting trial for murder" is really not that cool for a couple millions dollars. I'm not...

Mods, please move this conversation elsewhere. This is archboston, a community that celebrates change. Im as progressive as John Adams... Not here though.

If I graduated from Harvard (etc), and got a job in finance at 22 pulling 120 at Bain (etc), I might think this a great idea. Crypto, sure! Im going to pull 80 hour weeks, for starters. Secondly, the only furniture I have is none, and I've lived in dorm rooms since I was 12. So I can walk...

My guess is they have a lot of work (like a year or more) to do reinforcing the base of the building before anything like "new construction" would occur. Boston Properties was never going to sit on this one for a decade, and they can do a lot of "renovation" without having to file the...

I'm a bit jealous. If only stupidity (and COVID) hadn't gotten in the way, perhaps you and your firms vision would of been given a broader audience. When you talk about having a more programmatic, more architecturally distinct structure, (aka a church!) and the idea that it can be done "under...
