Re: Columbus Center ^ Ned, can you please define "Luxury Housing Grant" for me? I had never heard of it before, so I asked Google, and apparantly neither has anyone else. Also, what is the difference between a "work tax credit" and a "wage tax credit". Finally, what specifically at C.C...

Re: Columbus Center Flooring, facades, windows, lighting, condo finishes, office finishes, etc. The term engineering in value engineering isn't necessarily limited to what saving a structural engineer can find. There are other things....post-tension as opposed to pre-tension. Driven piles...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center The idea of height in this location is non-sensical....as far as traffic, etc, the easy neighborhood request if for Boston Properties to pay whatever it would take to reopen the Boylston St. entrance for the Hynes T stop, and maybe put money in an...

Re: Columbus Center It's called politics....there's a million analogies....simply said, if you need a project in your district to receive government subsidies, then sometimes you are at the mercy of other (more powerful) politicians who will expect you to support them on issues they deem...

Not bad....I like that small scale and the fact that there is something contemporary as opposed to the styleless concrete boxes that are invading the area. The water shouldn't be dominated, and I think this is an interesting tranisition in scale between the Barfing Crab and what will certainly...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center That's a signature plaza, huh? hmmmmm.....

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center And Boston Properties that I'm sure was eyeing 17 stories the entire time....win-win, sort of.

Re: W Hotel On the counter point....I like knowing which cab company is affiliated with the driver that I am getting into. I refuse to take Top Cab unless I'm forced (such as being unlucky in line at Logan) They seem to have a much looser set of standards for cab cleanliness and driver...

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Hmmm....doing a search for Robert Feldman, it looks like he lives at Constitution Landing in North End. This is what the developer of CL had to say about that project. I'm looking for the evidence that Bobby's humble building reflects the "current...

Re: Columbus Center Can someone take a picture of the "mess" on Cortes St....it's hard for me to visualize how their ideallyic view of the Pike has been somehow marred to the point that it's not longer the scenic overlook it once was.

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower If you had zoomed in on those side elevations, you could probably see the actual height delineations.....a lot do this in feet above sea level, but they should have a ground floor height as well, and some 2nd grade math does the rest.

Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. ^ Interesting in concept, but wouldn't this encourage big block development, especially in delicate places like Chinatown. A developer could "claim" several adjoining properties to create a nice big square building footprint. The landlords likely can't...

You could probably even negotiate in the world's longest shuffleboard court....

Toby......any chance of new elevators to go with the King Ramses II exhibit? Me, until recently, an 101 Archer....the wife, until recently, a F.M. 31 St. Jameser...she was one of the last to leave....literally 1 person to every 25 cubes, and she was on the only occupied floor. I do miss Park...
