Chiofaro needs to sue the pants off this idiotic city.

Yes, and 80% of what's come since then has been a willful, spiteful unlearning.

Too bad. The buildings look quite nice - wonderful, well-built old masonry structures that meet the street well. They just needed some infill to fill the gaps that post-war "progress" left behind.

Nice! Wolfgang's is my favorite NYC steakhouse (IMO better than the much-revered Peter Luger). As they've expanded quality - at their NYC restaurants, at least ... no idea how the ex-NYC ones are - has gotten a little variable. But still great.

BronsonShore: Stop. Smoking. Crack. This is an architecture forum, not an Antifa summer camp.

Everett too. Sweet!

Yes. Funny how in previous eras the solution was that parcels were simply smaller, leading to tremendous diversity in the built environment. Given the price of land today and the associated near-requirement that any construction involve an ecosystem of sophisticated / expensive legal...

Looks like it's replacing a fairly large facility holding 4-5 seafood processing and distribution companies? Seafood processing and distribution businesses feel like things that belong on the waterfront. And not immediately clear where they might move to, with every parking lot owner and his...

That dude brings back good (23+ year) old memories of this:

This is just one giant, cheaply constructed bitchslap to Boston.

What utter trash this building is.

This is where most of the WiredNY people migrated to (at least originally): https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/tags.php?tag=new+york It's less intelligent (i.e., less likely to focus on design quality vs. skyscraper height) than WiredNY was in its heyday. It's less intelligent than ArchBoston too...

100%. And shame on the troglodyte demagogues running for mayor who are coming out against this. They are wholly unfit for public office.

Stellarfun - is it really any slower than anything else? It feels like it's moving at about the same pace as any other development.

WTF is that? So you get penalized for being white? Makes me want to become a contractor to sue the living daylights out of the state for their reverse Jim Crow.

What an unbelievable sack of garbage this building is. In every possible way.

Everything about the architecture and design of the Boston Fed is atrocious and hideous. That includes the plaza, which would be lovely in an office park in Waltham. It also includes the building itself, which looks like something Mussolini would've built had he lived 25 years later than he...

I don't know about the designer, but it's clear what the developer was saying: "Eff Boston and the many generations of people who have lived there, giving the city an actual history. I'll cheapen the city permanently to enrich myself temporarily. So long, suckas!"

Off-topic, but I don't know what newspaper not printed in crayon would hire, and maintain, Shirley Leung.

Feels like ensuring 100+ year old structures aren't destroyed is an easier putt from a regulatory perspective than micromanaging the specific brick (or other materials) a developer purchases.
