Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport I hope this development is going to have lots of bright lights between buildings B and C. It would be really cool to be coming up the steps from Courthouse Station and arriving at a busy pedestrian corridor well lit with plenty of...

This really came out looking fantastic and is a great addition. I hope other developers will take note.

Just a question about if the Greenline ever did run down Washington to Dudley, was it to be in a dedicated ROW, with the trains in the middle (where the car lanes currently are) and the car lanes shifted to the current bus lanes? Or would it have been street running the whole way to Dudley?

This is a great picture and I think we've seen it before on here, but thanks for sharing! It makes me wonder how much of the tunnel/portal is reusable, and how much work would be needed if they were to re-activate it. The fact that it is 4 tracks and a flying junction means it would provide a...

This is by far my favorite thread on the site. Every project is unique, and to the actual architecture buffs out there, they may not individually standout, but collectively they all add to the urbanity of the neighborhood in their own way. Tho they may not be architecturally significant alone...

While i'm glad theres development happening on these waterfront locations, I still don't understand why the developers didn't plan for waterfront restaurants/venues like the seaport. IMO the view of the skyline is best from East Boston (that last photo is fantastic), and it seems like it would...

That 4th picture is incredible

Re: Waterside Place 1B | 505 Congress Street | Seaport I don't think that is M parcels, i think you're seeing the existing buildings at B street and Congress in that render.

I'm actually more excited than this development than many others for one reason: hoping it kicks off a transformation of the whole newmarket area. I know we've discussed in other threads the idea of swapping out the light industrial in this area for denser mixed use development, and maybe it...

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport Great spot! Any idea if the Seaport Square towers will have rooftop restaurant/bar decks, or is it just going to be penthouses up there? If I was a developer i'd put a rooftop deck on every one of these buildings facing the skyline...

I have to say, if given the choice, i would take the stations over anything else that doesnt NEED to be done. For example, drop community path, shrink the maintenance facility, and cut anything else that can be cut. I don't think the stations needs to be as nice as they were designed, and can...

Reminds me of the old Mitch hedberg joke. Tried to find a clip of it to post here but couldn't cut just that segment

Not bad, but I'd call for more height in this spot (in fact I think it was approved taller). Not height for heights' sake, but I wish this was going to be about the same size as Troy next door, as a means of almost blocking/creating more of a physical and psychological barrier separating 93...

Thanks for point that out to me. From the picture with the skyline view, I had thought the front of the building was flat and the other pictures showed a different design.

I would add that there is at least 5 parking lots in Bulfinch triangle that could be built on and would make for some nice infill, continuing the streetwall on many sections of that neighborhood. The fact that its right on top of transit is a huge bonus. I'd love to see something cool built on...

Yeah I was thinking of dead ending near Charlestown Community Center, and then heading back towards Lechmere or onto Kendall. I guess dead ending there would be pretty pointless.

Does anyone know which of the renders will be the final design for this building? Their website shows both the original render, as well as the other one that shows the facades with different angles sticking out like modular pieces are sitting on top of each other. I like the original much...

Maybe this belongs in crazy transit pitches thread, but I was looking at a map of Charlestown and noticed that in between Community College and Sullivan Square, there is a rail spur breaking off under I93 at about D street, that then curves around and runs parallel to Medford St. If UR was ever...

I like this but would rather see this be 2 lanes instead of 3. Can't they do protected lefts by getting rid of the medians rather than adding 3rd lanes on each side? Also just an optimistic question, would adding all this biking and walking infrastructure lessen the need for the pieces of the...

Is this new station supposed to have stairs or a ramp down from the Everett St. Bridge? Would really improve access to residents north of the Pike.
