To my understanding, the University Club building was used to secure air rights in order to speed approval. Maybe I'm wrong. Even if the University club still owns the building (I don't know), I am surprised they wouldn't have arranged for a facadectomy at the very least as the cost for said...

. It is also sort of across the street from Riverway MOSIAC, and could be oriented towards the Muddy River. Coming into the LMA from Brookline, I certainly got the feeling that that corner had the potential for a pretty striking residential building. There has been ongoing discussions...

I am having trouble ripping renders into this response. but all of those that I could find indicate to me that you are wrong. This parcel is/was two buildings. The 3 story building seems to be staying, as is. But really, it's not about who is right, my whole point was that I don't have a...

I appreciate the listing of streets. Sometimes I forget there so many of them. https://bostonhistory.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/newyorkstreetsfinal2.jpg

Wonderful picture. Does a great job helping explain the term "New York Streets" among other things.

On a personal level, I have nothing but love for Beth Isreal. I was born there. Anyway after decades away I find myself in the area again... Just as a discussion starter, the parking garage on the left there, could that be residential? I really think that that would be a very fine addition at...

Where does $7000 a month put this place in terms of the 99%? As far as an all rental building, is this the absolute top of the market in Boston right now? Top 3?

I was talking to a friend of mine as we walked past the sight yesterday and I mentioned how to me, my love of buildings and the like comes straight from when I was around 4 years old. It was the demolition part that got me excited. Still does today. Do they planning to keep the low rise...

This area begs for the grid to be finished. The diagonals work perfectly as pedestrian connections, especially towards connecting the T stations, as well as restoring wetlends to the NW. It can become another part of what a lot of East Boston is, isolated spots along the Blue line, or it can...

The long sleeper on views is 315 A. Unrestricted views in all directions.

I went to high school in Concord, and since my time there they have demolished the high school and built a new one. Given the new high schools in Somerville and here in Belmont, I simply cannot believe the turd that was laid in Concord. You can see it from Route 2 and it looks like jail. When...

Perhaps I have thought too much about this. The real money for a casino in Boston was at the Hynes. Because the location was owned by the state. Because most of the real action would most certainly not have been "on the floor" if we had decided to make the location high rollers only. Like...

Separately, did it occur to anyone ever that the Hynes would be an unbelievable location for a casino? I know that ship has sailed, but man, that would of been a home run

First off, whigh, thanks for using the term "Boston proper" correctly in your comment! (Boston Flower Exchange thread was derailed for a minute by this question, apparently by me) Having walked your route recently, I come to the conclusion that the expansion should be bordered by residential...

Did some quick math and the area bordered by Old Colony Rd, the bypass road to eastern edge of the railroad tracks and then south to Dorchester St and back to Old Colony is more than half the the size of the Suffolk Downs redevelopment area. (300,000 m2 as opposed to 550,000 very rough.) While...

Every time somebody tries to compare Boston to New York, I cringe before reading what is next. Here goes: this is exactly the type of thing you find all around Times Square. The scale is way different, but "hip" places like this are the same in both locations; cheap on a level that can only be...

In some other world I can imagine the motor mart being redeveloped into something worthy of the site that it has been given. I'm sort of a dreamer, but the notion that "park square" might have a "living building" or a "positive energy building" is somehow very attractive me. The renders that I...

Both this building and the one approved for Tremont St. will be great additions. Slowly but surely, the weird zone around around Bay Village is being brought up to respectable density. It seems crazy how long it took though, I remember 20 years ago walking past this sight on a daily basis and...

Arggg, ok. I always looked at both this spot and the garage at Park Square for good places for really tall buildings. Having understood that the latter was never a possibility, you are telling me THIS spot is ruined too!? ok... Still though, was there no thought in combining this with the...

I am wondering about this parcel in a larger sense. Although obviously the notion of putting the silver line underground right here would currently go nowhere because of billions of things ($), I really looked at this spot (old Don Bosco included) for a building of around 700 feet. A real huge...
