Re: South Station Tower - Full Steam Ahead! I have a certain love for the Pru that dates back to my childhood. Whenever my family would drive into the city that was the one building I'd focus on. As a kid I always thought the top of the Pru with all the antennas and Spire looked like Cloud...

Wow! Amazing pic. Anyone who thinks Boston is gritty today should take a look at that! I can't believe the whole area where North Point is currently going in. That was just over 50 years ago. What might the next 50 bring.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge ^ Music to my ears. ^^^ It looks from that map that people can still access the park from the museum even without the bridge...its just not as direct. Accessible as it is, it will be even better if/when that bridge gets built. The one that baffles me is how they...

Re: Nashua Street Residences (North Station) There has been netting over parts of North Station facing the train tracks for some time now. It was on the left side of the building for a while, closest to the highway, and now it's on the left. I'm guessing this has nothing to do with Nashua...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Wishful thinking? Has there even been any movement on any of those three buildings (including Nashua St Res?)

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 What is the proposed building to the left of SST in that BRA map? I didn't see it on the archboston google map. Also, the two larger buildings proposed near the Pru. Is one of those the Copley Condos?

Joe - great pics. If someone built that today we would rail against it on this board! Time and perspective should certainly help the Greenway. One generation from now when things are grown in and the surrounding architecture and businesses have adjusted people will look at what was there...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Any neighborhood, including some of Boston's best ones, develope(d) over time. As you mentioned, maybe in a few years the areas you mentioned will become vibrant. But North Point lacks any density and really lacks purpose. There is no reason for anyone to go there...

Oh...and don't forget the vital stats for each project ;)

Of the "proposed" buildings, which have been approved? Can we add an "app" to those?

Re: Madison Seaport Hotel Conservative when it comes to building anything over 150'.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Indeed - the park is poorly designed for what surrounds it at this time. If the plans to build up this whole area as it's own little neighborhood come to fruition then maybe the park will get more traffic and use. Even if the neighborhood itself isn't of the best...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Meh - I'd just stick em' out on Dear Island or out by the airport somewhere. ;)

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Anything? OK, so that's a sarcastic answer. But right now we have BS&G saying "Welcome to Boston" when traveling into the city from points North....and that's not very welcoming. The footprint is oddly shaped and is probably not accessible to normal traffic because...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge Is Boston Sand and Gravel that runs along I-93 a permanent fixture? For years as I've driven or take the train into the city from the North I have prayed that it is only there for convenience-sake during Big Dig construction. Someone please tell me I'm right. Someone...

I often go to PO square for lunch during the warm-weather months. It's a great little oasis in the middle of the city. However, that said - I walked through PO square twice last week and it was completely deserted. Even people walking to and from other places weren't even walking through the...

Yes! Those are the buildings. Different images than I once saw, but the same buildings none the less. Thanks for posting those! Would have been nice. And how about the size of the massive trio of towers on the other side of causeway!?! Those wouldn't have stood a chance of getting approved...

Thanks for posting those pics. There are actually other renderings that I've not seen on this site (and I can't seem to find them again anywhere) and the buildings had ornate details and seemed to be in the style of older classic buildings, not very modern looking at all. There was also a side...

ok...couldn't find the old renderings I saw before...perhaps someone else knows of the ones I mean. They actually show the domed topped hotels in front of the garden. One I saw even showed a new concourse, or atrium type area that acts as a new entrance to N Station. Anyone? In the...

There have actually been ideas floated for the air rights in front of the Garden, which is now just a huge parking lot. There is a thread on this site (Nashua Street Residence) that has renderings of buildings that were proposed at one time. But I've actually seen artist renderings for the two...
