I've been thinking this for a while too. For the non penthouse levels, how many units do you suspect they'll be able to fit on each floor? 3? 4?

Some beautiful overhead shots of Boston skyline tonight during the Pats game. I DVR'd it so i'll try to grab some screenshots and post here later. IMagine what it would look like with all of the 300' and above projects in the pipeline lit up!

With any hope Baker will cancel South Coast Fail realizing the benefit/cost ratio doesn't support it. Obviously he couldn't redirect the funds from that project to others, but I do have hope that he will re-evaluate the priorities of transportation in the state, and the potential of olympics...

I hope we win, and I hope we get (some of) the transportation improvements the area needs and deserves. Yes I'm being selfish for wanting the Olympics more for the infrastructure improvements than the actual games, but I dont care. Also, I think if Boston gets selected in 2017, people will...

Yes I am, and I've popped by to check it out a couple times when I was home over the holidays, but I'll only get to see this thing a couple of times a year. Can't wait for the first time I visit DTX when this is completed and people are living there.

Data, in person, does the glass on this look exactly like the glass on the hancock tower, or slightly different? From the pics it looks almost exactly the same to me, so i'm curious if its a different color/tint in person.

Does anyone know what the next development in Northpoint is going to be? Just noticing this latest rendering below, at least i Think its the latest one I've seen. Looks like possibly the building just to the southwest of Twenty20. Currently a parking lot, also along Gilmore bridge. Any of...

If green line trolleys ever get a connection to the waterfront tunnel, the SL busses could be used for only a line to Logan and Airport Station on the BlueLine. The State Police tunnel would be crucial and I still can't figure out why it's not used already.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End This is probably my favorite project in the city right now. Can anyone tell me if the Causeway street render above is accurate for the changes they will make, or is that just wishful thinking in the render? That road...

Re: Waterside Place | 505 Congress Street | Seaport So I get that people don't like how this building looks, and I'm still not sure exactly what they were going for with the seemingly randomly placed darker panels (sometimes it looks like it rained, but only some of the panels got wet lol), but...

I've thought the same about that location. I wonder if they could just build above and around the electrical gear?

Yes, I think it you're right, it should have a 200ft spire.

I'm happy this project is moving forward but as I've mentioned in other posts, I'm disappointed that the size of the project fell so short of the neighborhood/BRA Master Plan. The article in the link mentioned 15 stories as the max allowable height, though I think I remember it being 17...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Does anyone know if Parcels N and P are going to have retail on both Congress Street and Summer street? The reason I ask is because Summer street is elevated compared to Congress, so if there were retail on Summer it would be...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) Yes Menino was pushing for this to be hotel, as at the time there was concern about the lack of hotel rooms affecting the convention center business, tho I believe it was approved as apartments.

I've thought the same before and envisioned this as the southern part of Urban Ring using BRT to connected the greenline on Huntington with Ruggles, Dudley, Newmarket and JFK. Theres room for dedicated bus lanes on most of the route.

I hope this project succeeds and I hope Marty pushes for similar density residential on the next parcel over (25?), which would utilize air rights and also cover up the central artery. I expect we'll be seeing something soon on Parcel 25 proposals.

Dave, I wasn't there for the meeting, and you're obviously being facetious with your last sentence, but was the tone of the meeting from the developer really along the lines of "this is what we're doing"? If so, obviously a huge mistake by the developer. Other developers in the city have gone...

Van, I very much agree with what you said. And to me, the most interesting thing you mentioned was the "Small scale contractor/developer/owner that will save the city". If smaller, local contractors could work on these projects (due to the buildings themselves being smaller) rather than the...

I assume this will be open this summer. Is this going to be completely public rooftop access, or only for people staying at the hotel?
