Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. Agreed...only Foster. I'm not overly opposed to Cooke and Fox, but as rendered, the way the towers relate to the base and how the base looks like it relates to the street leave much to be desired. Foster is magnificant in every way for Boston. It screams...

I tried to respond to the loitering issue politely, but I erased that as it didn't capture the problem properly. Kids acting like jackasses with no regard to other pedestrians isn't an attribute of a healthy city. When you have small children and walk through the area daily, you tend to get...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center It has its on thread on here with lots of photos to prove it exists in its full beige glory.

Drunk BU students getting hit by trains and cars cost the city a lot.....There are a lot of externality expenses associated by having a colleges in the city, but my gut says its net revenue positive (professors living in the city, students paying sales tax, students employed and paying state...

Re: Filene's A true image of bravery.

Re: Mandarin developers eye Pike parcels for project Paid for by "linkages" of course ;) I agree with others that the scale is fine. I just hope that there is some architectural variety in these buildings, and some genuine detailing. This intersection pulls back together several victorian...

Re: Mandarin developers eye Pike parcels for project Before we spend too much time blasting this design, this is only the first of about 4 or 5 proposals correct? Theoretically, this isn't the project with the "inside track". Is the renovation of the Hynes T station entracne to Boylston part...

418,000 sq. ft. is large....for comparison, the W Hotel is 350,000 sq. ft., and The Mandarin (both buildings) is 450,000 sq. ft.

Re: Fan Pier Oh...thanks for clearing up that rumor.

Re: Fan Pier Is TheRifleman really Dude/Hot and BobbyDigital?

Re: W Hotel One thing is that Amsterday is on the far western edge of the continental European time zone, whereas Boston is actually east on the Eastern time zone if they were strictly based on equidistant meridians, and should be in the Atlantic time zone. There is really over an hour...

Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop Where she suggests the design attempts to be contextual to existing 19th century building stock, and that is a bad thing. I see this building as strictly post-modern, and not-contextual, and is insulting to 19th century brownstones...

It's actually a cartographical representation of a mathematical array problem, rather than a vision based on logic.

Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop The first half of the article was on the point...the second half....not so much.

Re: 28-story tower planned for Downtown Crossing Awesome....Boston will finally be getting a Bandana Republic!

Re: Russia Wharf I thought there was parking in the basement. There is no way there won't be parking for this.

Re: Fan Pier Boston02124's image is just a rendering ;)

Re: 1330 Boylston Street Since this might be the best opportunity to plug my favorite TexMex place in greater Boston, I'll vote for The Alamo in Medfield. There aren't many restaurants that I would ever drive 1.5 hours roundtrip for lunch, but this makes that cut.

Re: Filene's One vote for capitalism at its finest, another for socialism. I'm not voting, because I have no dollars in the game either way, but either way someone will lose big and a strong message will be sent to the development community. Either, don't build here, or guaranteed profits in...

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore, Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) Red Sox are equity partners in this deal, so I assume they don't strongly disapprove. The foreground building reminds me somewhat of the Transportation Building on Stewart, not a compliment. As far as was the process followed? Are...
