maybe they can convert the unoccupied commercial space to satisfy the pickleball craze. :ROFLMAO: https://www.insideedition.com/pickleball-courts-breathe-new-life-into-dying-shopping-malls-81494

Following the previous post by stick n move .... what intrigues me is the various modes of transportation, the rail fright in the upper right, the commuter rail heading into the garage, the trolleys which go everywhere and even the horse-and-buggy taxi service with a strategically placed water...

Last check, I'm entitled to state my opinions in this forum without personal attacks. Your snarky / condescending response is uncalled for. Anyway ... I'm done this with thread.

Admittedly, I have no idea on the scope of the renovations nor do I really care how much BP wants to invest. I'm sure they did a roi cost analysis. It just seems that 43M per floor is an astronomical figure.

That "nice and clean" look only cost a scant 125M (or more?). The physical structure of the top of the Pru looks identical, other than the clean aesthetics. What a colossal waste. > Boston Properties intends to invest “in excess of $125 million” to renovate the top three floors of the...

Such as???

Am I the only one that thinks the exterior of South Station could be substantially improved by a simple power-washing. The moldy green crud just needs to go. just saying.

It's about time. I actually thought that would be good location for a liquor store. Surprisingly, there are few options on that part of Lincoln St and that plaza get a ton of business.

Just scroll up to a few pics and you'll see no trash whatsoever in a panoramic view. But sure, be selectively to accentuate the negativity.

I was a bit leery about this makeover when I first saw the rendering. My reaction was that downtown was getting another glass tower, ho hum. But, admittedly, I am impressed with the result. It's an improvement though I still resist the notion of more glass towers. As an example, the Seaport...

It's the height of paranoia.

So the new steel / façade will obscure the arch from the street view? I don't' recall the rendering on how this will look.

Agreed with both points. The cost of parking in the city is a huge deterrent for me. Having said that, the Copley T station is one block away and the orange line is a short walk as well so convenient for the city dwellers at least.

I couldn't imagine having an appt facing that massive mural. oh, the horrors.

Not #1 ... but so damn close. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/26/lifestyle/boston-city-hall-was-declared-4th-ugliest-building-world-other-facts-you-dont-really-need-know-about-boston/?p1=HP_Feed_ContentQuery&p1=HP_Feed_ContentQuery

what happened to all of the cool lights under the arches of the Longfellow bridge? I just see one archway illuminated.

I have driven through the intersection during light and heavy traffic (post baseball game). Light traffic is a breeze, heavy traffic can be a challenge but to make the above assertion is ridiculous. No, I won't trust you

That intersection was / is a colossal mess. I think the only way to have made it functional would require the elimination / re-routing of connecting streets. I will admit that the new design is an improvement but still a challenge.

What's the master plan regarding the old table talk pie store / building? It seems that the building is pretty much dilapidated ... don't know why they didn't raze that as well.

(sigh) Hey Mods ... time to intervene.
