Re: 110 Broad St. (The Times/Littlest Bar) Personally, I don't get the gripe with the design. If the materials are of high quality, they should look very good (IMO). If they cheap-out on the materials, then it'll look bad, but this site is way too prominent for them to low-ball the...

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge What about a potential mixed office/luxury condo tower? How prohibitive is that depth of bedrock? I'm unfamiliar with the ins & outs of construction.

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge It'd be cool if they proposed something in the 800' range, which may instigate Boston into trying to beat that height with the 115 Federal Street development.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Ah ok, I do remember the uproar but I didn't realize it was so loud.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 It's kind of strange/interesting that one of the original advantages for Belkin was that he owned the Rudolph building, and therefore could know that down and create a "super site", but in the new plan, the Rudolph...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 If I remember correctly, wasn't Belkin the only developer to even submit a proposal back in 2007? The fact that there are 7 other developers proposing a project on a significantly smaller piece of land is a testament...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Looking at the article John posted makes me cry a little inside

No matter how it ends up, this is infinitely better than the old brick bunker.

Google appears to have updated their 3D mapping in Boston...so now a lot of new projects are visible on the maps if you want to check out! Some quick notables: Novartis, 610 @ MIT, Millennium Place, prep of Millennium Tower, Whitehead Institute, Kensington, Jacob Wirth, Radian, Fan Pier, and...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Another good thing about that Banker & Tradesman article is the Accordia proposal also lists Ares Management (http://www.aresmgmt.com/home) as a development partner. Ares Mgmt has a Commercial Real Estate arm, with...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Good call...tanks dere Bab!

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Yea that would be fantastic...and it's not like we don't have the engineering capabilities to make a very tall, super-thin tower. Just look at what's going up in NYC right now.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 That would certainly complicate things, ya Does that number go up to 68 stories? Nice

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Do subway lines go under 101 Arch? I wonder if, should this building be built, the owners of 101 Arch would consider developing on-site the garage and pushing the parking underground. The 101 Arch garage and the...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 From an aesthetic standpoint, there are only two options: Accordia/CV and Millennium. It's disheartening to hear that the Accordia proposal comes from a company that doesn't even have a website, because IMO that's...

Nice! Great to hear

Are there any plans for the parcels between Shawmut & Harrison? Obviously we've got the Ink Block and there were plans for the church, but there is a lot of open space there...is there anything planned?

Nice! I noticed a rendering in the blog which shows an elevated Green Line. Is that a developer decision or is the extension actually going to elevate the Green Line?

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge

Yea I don't know what the hell is going on here.
