Re: Fan Pier Cool, it can finally be seen from the street. In the second picture, is that wooden staircase leading up to some sort of observation platform for the construction site? I've never seen that before, a staircase from within the construction walls coming right down to the sidewalk.

Re: Columbus Center Columbus Center developers would open their books to Beal because they know that, whether or not Beal ends up being a part of the team that develops those air rights parcels, he has a fair amount to lose if those parcels remain a gaping chasm. Lets say Beal doesn't become a...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 Right now, the Krafts are solely interested in getting their Patriots Place complex up and running. That is a major investment and is taking precedence over any kind of soccer stadium at the moment (as it should be - not a slight to the soccer fans out...

Re: Columbus Center When I was saying we would have the same reactions, I was discussing from strictly a design standpoint, considering that was what Padre Mike was talking about. I wasn't going into whether or not the master plan was broken or not, whether there was public subsidy or not, etc...

Re: 1501 Commonwealth Ave It's basically the same one that was posted back on Page 1, but here is the only one that I could find (it accompanied the Herald story):

Re: Fan Pier I didn't really know where to put this, but I thought that, since this is his most prominent current project, this would be the ideal place. This isn't really news regarding Fan Pier, but it is an interesting article regarding one of the developers, Joe Fallon. Essentially, it...

Re: New BU Tower I'm not thrilled by this building. This is probably due mostly to my attraction to smaller suburban schools rather than big city schools. My sense of a dorm is a smaller community of maybe five floors that is surrounded by activity on campus. This new dorm tower does not give...

Re: Columbus Center Padre Mike, I think that its just because we have looked at it and debated it so many times, we are all just used to seeing it, making it seem somewhat stale. In reality, if this design for the Columbus Center was unveiled today, we would all probably have the same reactions...

Re: Columbus Center While I am excited to see Related and the Beal Cos. come on to try and save this project, I am still going to stand by earlier point that, unless these developers can find a way to build this without public subsidy (which is probably unlikely at this point), I am...

I believe that this is the same thing: LINK Rendering: In the article I think that it clarifies the 'biggest biotech center' debate: It says that it is the complex in the Route 128 market.

Yes they were all pyramids, but what I think everyone was going for was the feeling the Biolab has. An unwelcoming, fortress like structure that casts its shadow over the surrounding community. For many people, it doesn't represent anything good either, which would be comparable to the...

I am actually very fond of the Pru. It certainly isn't pretty, but it is one of those buildings that not only defines the area where it resides, but also the city itself. You see a picture of the Pru and/or the John Hancock, and you know you're looking at Boston. Call it a certain type of...

LINK What do you guys think about this? I know small local businesses and studio artists don't necessarily fit with Mayor Menino's MO of high end luxury retailer and residences, but if these artists keep being forced from their space, I think it will end up being a bad thing for the city...

That's a good point, Lrfox. I think a new, more effective way to ensure that the taxi fleets are completely up to date would be to require that they be in compliance with the latest standards/technology. Not that having an all hybrid fleet is bad. Its just that Menino continually touts that...
