    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I can actually see this one from the top floor of my home and I've been waiting for months for the top floors to get their horizontal lighting. Has there been any speculation or rumors if the top mechanical portion of the building will have some sort of lighting effect, maybe even some color...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Glanced at the harbor Web cam tonight and it almost looks like the crown lighting got taller?! https://www.youtube.com/live/PSpuVt_t5ng?feature=share

    The New Retail Thread

    Pomona also has a location in Winthrop. It might have been their first. They are part of the Antique Table family of restaurants on the north shore.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I'm usually pretty even-keeled when it comes to teething issues and challenges with new equipment, but it's starting to get a sinking feeling that the CRRC acquisition is going to go down in MBTA history books next to the names Boeing and Breda.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    The demo of the garage in earnest (not tied directly to a specific building site) started in late 2021, barely a year ago at this point. At one point earlier this year, the demolition was proceeding at such a pace, a portion of the garage let go prematurely and killed a worker and crippled the...

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    Awesome shots! I honestly didn't realize they had started to eat into the actual track. I thought the current work was just in the former stable area. FYI...you also got a couple of good shots of the construction site of the new Sora Revere apartments at 93 Bennington Street. I actually used...

    Stop and Shop Mixed Use | 1690 Revere Beach Parkway | Everett

    yes....pretty sure you can't build with a timber frame once you go over 6 or 7 floors. Once you get into all steel or concrete, you're looking at a whole new budget situation.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I role the GLX to Union Square yesterday and can confirm the speed limit on the viaduct between Science Park and the Gilmore Bridge is 10 MPH. I rode yesterday for the first time since early summer and was curious to see if any improvements to speed/efficiency had been made since and I have to...

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    At this stage, all I ask is for Druker to actually build this thing and not leave a “Filene’s hole” at this intersection. EDIT. Well, it looks like he has a significant tenant, so at least the probability of a hole is greatly reduced...

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    As easy as it is to be cynical, there is no way they are leaving this equipment exposed to be seen from Copley. I suspect the parapet will go up when they are done installing roof mechanicals.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Caught this angle walking up Devonshire Street in front of the Club Quarters. Have to admit that I was struck by how sharp this looked from this angle. I still say this is the best angle for 115 Winthrop and it was a happy accident the second tower got truncated.

    Hartford CT

    It just so happens I was born in 1979 and grew up in the Hartford area. I distinctly remember a feeling that Hartford was on the upswing during this era. There were a ton of new buildings going up, a bunch on the drawing boards (the afore mentioned scars on downtown today), the insurance and...

    88 Seaport Blvd | Seaport Square Parcel D | Seaport

    I don’t have a subscription, but that lede doesn’t sound promising at all regarding a construction start? FWIW, I passed my this site this morning and the lot looked nearly completely cleared.

    Tower crane installation happening this morning. I’ll try to snap pics later today (4/30)

    The New Retail Thread

    ^ tbh…while there is certainly an opportunity for a larger project on the L&T site, I do think it would also make a good home for Crate & Barrels’ return to Boylston Street.
