Consider for a moment that in the span of a decade, NYC is bookending GCT with One Vanderbilt and 175 Park Ave. I'm in no way insinuating that we were going to get anything of this scale built here. More importantly, NYC is choosing to build two of the country's most architecturally noteworthy...

A+ proposal. Attractive, good parking ratio, and a boatload of units. If I had one request it'd be to add an additional retail space on the corner of Comm Ave and Gorham St, but it's a great proposal as is. Build it yesterday.

Hey, plop 30 stories of a Robert AM Stern lookalike on top... 5 years down the road no one would ever know...

We got Mahty in the Cabinet; he can't make some calls? If I were Mayor turned Secretary of Labor, I'd maybe pick this up as a little pet project....

These photos are the first ones I've seen where I've realized that the cantilever over the sidewalk is really quite dramatic.

I would include that disincentive as part of the benefit.

I think this is a good assessment and an important distinction to make between the Muddy River and what's proposed. This stretch of the Muddy River doesn't supports any activities other than walking or running the perimeter. But as @DZH22 points out, there is yet another city park directly...

I might be speaking a little soon, but right now BU and Northeastern are competing for Boston's best project completed in 2022 in my opinion.

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. Last week, the MA State Senate passed amendments to Senate Bill 2819, which "requires the MBTA to begin the process of electrifying the Commuter Rail network". The amendments were authored by Senator Brendan...

Crazy. My previous Brooklyn apartment was a 6 story walkup. 52 units.

That little wedge right there is my dream 300' zero-parking apartment tower TOD proposal.

Some good GJ content on Twitter

Did the MBTA ever try to have the developer of the Union Square D2.X project build the new Union Square station? Perhaps it would've required too much coordination, but it seems like it should've been possible to get a far better, enclosed station at no cost to the state, in exchange for an...

The Edgerly Place developer should takes notes.

Don't recall if there were updates along the way, but this seems to be coming out even better than the renders on page 1. The silver fins have almost a Deco-y look.

Walking directions from about the midpoint of the parcel to Andrew station. Insanity. Edit: Not to mention a 10 minute walk from Newmarket if pretty minor station improvements were made.

Except for those ground-floor garages :confused:

Funnily enough, the building they tore down for this was from exactly 1970. Wasn't the prettiest high school either, but it had a certain modernist charm to it.

An NYC perspective on public meetings: Having a very active local YIMBY group like Open New York makes a world of difference. It's kind of quiet season right now with the start of a new city government, but when there are important rezonings and residential projects going through the review...
