    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    Re: Garden Garage Towers (Basketball City) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Since I expect the West End residents to fight this like they did the original proposal, I really hope to see Walsh go to bat for the developer here, and stand up against the residents, as these types of projects will go a...

    AvalonBay Tower (Jacob Wirth's) | 45 Stuart Street | Downtown

    This thing may look cool at night, and I should probably reserve judgement until its finished, but the daylight views of this thing are just nothing special to me. The side with the horizontal glass windows looks kinda cool, but I'm just not really a big fan of the vertical windows against the...

    Hyatt Place/Ora Seaport (née Parcel K) | 315 Northern Avenue | Seaport

    Re: Parcel K Northern Avenue Block K isn't on Northern Ave., thats what I was trying to say. Block K is at the intersection of Seaport Blvd and Boston Wharf Rd.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    F-line, this question is more of your opinion than any facts, but do you expect all of these cars to be delivered on time? You've talked in other posts about this Chinese company pumping money into this order because its their first US one, and they won't mind losing a bit of money if it gets...

    Hyatt Place/Ora Seaport (née Parcel K) | 315 Northern Avenue | Seaport

    Re: Parcel K Northern Avenue I thought this too at first, but the commercial specifically mentions it being on Northern Ave, while Block K is on Seaport BLVD. As an FYI, the commercial I'm hearing is played on the CBS Local app, which I use to listen to 98.5 the Sport Hubs (I no longer live...

    Not trying to be a dick, but how is Babcock practically Coolidge Corner? Seems to me like it would take at least 15 minutes to walk to CC if you go off at Babcock on the B line.

    Hyatt Place/Ora Seaport (née Parcel K) | 315 Northern Avenue | Seaport

    Re: Parcel K Northern Avenue The radio spot seems like its sponsored by the IBEW, they're calling it Parcel K, and they're basically just saying they're about to start scheduled construction. The commercial talks about the project details (# of rooms, restaurants, etc.), number of jobs it will...

    Hyatt Place/Ora Seaport (née Parcel K) | 315 Northern Avenue | Seaport

    This is in reference to Parcel K across the street from the Pavilion and Yankee Lobster, not to be confused with Seaport Square BLOCK K, which is in another thread. I couldn't find an existing thread for this project (even though I could've SWORN I've seen news of this project posted on the...

    Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive - Parcel C | Seaport

    Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport I have a good feeling that Fallon won't cheap out on this particular building, as they're going to be targeting the wealthiest of buyers, similar to Millenium Tower, and maybe its just a gut feeling, but something tells me they are...

    This brings up an interesting point. Of all the Beacon Park future development stuff i've read, I don't remember any of them discussing this. Does anyone know if MBTA has been at the table for BP planning meetings, to reserve this ROW? If so, what's the level of discussion on this?

    Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive - Parcel C | Seaport

    Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport http://www.twentytwoliberty.com/video/ Not sure if any of you guys have checked out their website, I just watched some of these videos, and I've gotta say, their marketing material has worked on me! As much as I love Millenium and...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    F-line, how difficult would adding tap on/off capability be? Is it a simple software fix, or does it require some more complex and expensive hardware upgrades? Do you mean "BRT first instead of LRT"? Edit: Nevermind, I think i misread your sentence with the LRT vs. BRT part

    Hook Wharf | 400 Atlantic Ave | Downtown

    If I had a boat, it would be really fuckin cool to pull my boat up to that dock, walk up to Hook, and eat a lobster out on that porch in the summer. I like this building and hope they build it.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Nothing I suppose, other than wanting to get a return on their investment. I think the idea is that hopefully they are bidding on this to get their first US order under their belt, which should open the door to other US orders for them based on what kind of reputation they earn from this order...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Cool idea i hadn't thought of, tho I always imagined the Union Sq. spur to Porter to contine onto Waltham, following the Fitchburg ROW. This is why the D needs to run down a buried Huntington Tunnel to Back Bay and Tufts, where it would enter the old Pleasant Street incline to Boylston...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    After rereading this and spending ALOT of time on Google Earth and street view (one of my favorite pasttimes :) ), I had a couple of thoughts, but also a question first: How does an LRV version of the Urban Ring "spur-to-Harvard work"? I'm assuming it crosses the Charles and then goes west...

    Goodwin Procter HQ @ Fan Pier | 90 - 110 Northern Ave - Parcel I | Seaport

    Re: Goodwin Procter HQ (Parcel I) @ Fan Pier | 90 - 110 Northern Ave | Seaport Just noticed that on the level where the crane supports touch the core, there is only a half opening for the elevator door, instead of full sized opening. Any reason for this? Does it have to do with the supports?
