ShakeShack, did you retype that article, they don't have it on their website... If you did, then thank you in advance.

Re: Parcel 24 Height can be achieved in Boston, I'm just illustrating how difficult it is to get height built in this city. Can it be done? Sure, but it is very difficult, and it discourages some developers from going high.

Re: Jacob Wirth's That is likely the case, but the possible trade off could be that fewer developers want to come into Boston and propose large projects. If I'm a developer, I would be a little wary of a city that had legislation like that, knowing that if I don't secure X amount of dollars by...

Re: Parcel 24 A third option wold be to make the the building a couple stories taller on each of the step downs, therefor creating more density. Unfortunately, in this city, that would have probably been shot down almost immediately.

Re: Parcel 24 I would agree with that. Many retailers with the local, personal feeling are also family establishments that can't afford high rents. I am not sure what the going rate will be the retail space, but I do think it would help appeal to those types of stores to make it affordable...

Re: Parcel 24 Thank you for clearing that up, Beton Brut, I too was having a difficult time understanding the term. Other than the aesthetic design of the building, I personally do not see a glaring hole with this project. I like the number of units, and I tend to agree with the number of...

That definitely looks better. I believe that they could have done some things differently that would have contributed more to the area, but, on the whole, I feel like this is a darn good improvement (considering what we had before). Also, on a somewhat related note, I am really happy that the...

Re: T construction news I believe that this is the best place to put this, considering it is more general than anything else: LINK

Re: Columbus Center Oh, I understand what you are saying now. That definitely makes more sense than what I thought you were getting at. Sorry about the confusion.

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 From today: LINK Hmmmm...interesting. While I agree that a Green Line extension out this way is important, it would be a shame to lose such a great spot for development, particularly if it meant that the Krafts would no longer look at the area as a...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center Thanks for those renderings, Boston02124! I hadn't seen those before and it definitely clears the L&T thing up.

Re: Columbus Center Columbus Center is a mixed-use residential/retail project. The only place being discussed as a possible location for a casino in Boston is in East Boston where Suffolk Downs is. I have to agree with Ron Newman in questioning what a pol flipping on a casino bill would have...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center I've read articles on the project and looked it up on the BRA website, and it mentions nothing regarding how the new building would interact with the current structure. You could say that the Avalon would go right on top of the building, but the...

Re: Columbus Center Welcome to the board, SouthEndCoog. Based on your views of this project, I am sure that you will fit right in with the crowd here!

I intend to, Boston 02124. I think it will be cool to look back in 20 years and see how the city has changed. Well, this is just the first stage of a multi-billion dollar development. If everything goes according to plan, that sea of asphalt will be engulfed by a new neighborhood. It will take...

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I have not seen it: LINK I read a similar article that didn't offer much more in terms of details about the station, but the comments following it seemed to be a bit disapproving of the concept of a new station (I'll say the commenters were split...

Re: Parcel 24 Sorry to sound redundant, but this is frustrating - it seems like this is the standard design for many new residential projects. I feel like I would be more receptive to this design if it hadn't been done multiple times before. The gradually stepping down of the original proposal...

Unfortunately, I have found that it is a vicious cycle, and the Waterfront area is right in the middle of it: 1. Retailers don't want to be in a place where there aren't many people living/staying; 2. People don't want to live in a an area with no retail/restaurants/street life. I am...

Haha, I'll do that. Unfortunately, he only keeps stuff from his own projects in there...all in the burbs and nothing to do with Boston. That rendering came from a website, I saved the image to my hard drive (i'm kind of a nerd like that - I keep all kinds of renderings and stuff on my computer...
