    What we have going on in Boston right now is as wonderful as any city. I live in hell, Manhattan, I mean. I travel throughout the contiguous US' largest cities and it makes me evermore proud of almost everything Boston has, does and is doing. We nitpick, we complain about height from purely an...

    Don't forget about Downtownie and backie bayie.

    Eli Lilly IGM | 15 Necco Street | Fort Point

    Seems like a sale of that parcel(s) would be a nice solution to offset that massive overrun and chip at the compounding debt the USPS rocks annually. It may come down to a fiduciary obligation should it ultimately be presented forward. Further, I would assume the taxes*** paid by the current...

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Exactly right. They have whole entire waiting areas, for Amtrak customers only, with hundreds of seats each. Their food hall also has seating for like 250. They are 'waiting areas' for the exact reason North Station implemented turnstiles. < to mitigate the non-paying loiterers >

    We'll have to see how much it gets VE'd. It has the potential, with the wrong materials, to look like a bad marriage between Hub50 and Avalon NS.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    I, also, go by that designation. Although, I have less desirable word for describing NYC. This is my second stint here, 2009-2016 and 2021-present, and I can assure everyone without a shadow of a doubt.. Boston and NYC are, and have been, on two completely opposite trajectories. I've never been...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    IF there's a sale of the Post Office and land, as it moves South along the water aren't there parcels there that could house an array of talls? I can't remember the height restrictions but maybe it could become a new 'high'ish spine.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    With Winthrop topped, it's now astonishing the height effect from the angled crown.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I haven't but I did go back in the thread to look and saw the post about it so I'll reserve further judgment until I do :)

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Do they just not want to complete the mech/crown because it's going to look way worse than the rest of the building? yeah, I'm still in that camp.

    this one is good for the area, good for precedent. Getting outside developers to build here, at this height, as a catalyst will ease to future transformable BB projects.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    regardless of the hate, much warranted, it's a significant change for the city in a short period with regard to density of height and filling in gaps from all angles. look at those pictures without MT and WS and it's Hartford.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I came back, again, this weekend. Before my Acela sat by the weird City Winery pop-up that no one goes to. Solid view of the top and I just don't think this thing is being lit up. In between the ridges is just a gray material that doesn't look like a light covering. Pretty sure we are effed on...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I actually thought the arches had less of a chance than the tower.

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    I'm just like.. kind of confused. We have this incredible FernGully like 100 feet away in the Greenway that has set the tone for amassing diverse horticulture in city space. Then we look at taking all bricks out which was a sick idea but then we instead re-brick, take four out at a time...
