Does anyone know why this location has never been discussed for the new city hall? The garden under glass has never gotten close to being reality. And if the mayor is looking to make an architectural statement what better place to view it from than across Dewey Square.

I'm surprised that they are preserving the waterfront elevation. It was essentially constructed like a fire wall that ended up having windows installed after the fact. Was there ever another building on the waterside? On pictures previous to the steel going up I remember being able to see...

The size of this building was cut in half? (70,00sf down from 150,000sf) I liked the original building and now fear we are now going to get a 1 to 2 story building in downtown Boston.

Unfortunately (or ironically?) Harbor Towers did have a face lift about 6-8 years ago. I think they replaced all of the glass and re-caulked the building panels. What facelift at State Street? Is something being done with the old tower?

I never understood why it was a priority to spend money on Columbus Park either.

There are still more buildings that are going to be built within the Station Landing site. There is a BSC that has started construction. The parking garage is going to be expanded which will allow 2 more buildings to be constructed on the surface parking lot adjacent to 28. The only...

I've always liked the mall idea at this location. They are taking this model from another, very successfully, development within Boston. This is the new Copley Place. Building over a highway has limitations, but this development will help make a connection between the scattered buildings...

Bay Village opposes a Tower on a parking lot because it will force the drugs and prostitution (that currently take place in this parking lot) towards their neighborhood? That could be the single dumbest argument I have ever heard from a neighborhood group. It has nothing to do with the merits...

That may work if we only had to consider vehicular traffic, but it would become very difficult and dangerous to be a pedestrian trying to get across Boylston. How do pedestrian manage in Brazil? Drivers down there must actually yield to pedestrians.

So that's what happens with those old exhibits. They just get tossed out the window. :D

I also like the relocation idea, but when they opened the store in the Back Bay I started to wonder if they had other plans. And is there even a lease agreement in place for them to return? Good new is that having them out of the building is good for construction and if they have leased space...

Wonder why he wrote the article now? This building has been complete for at least 2 years. I like the building and assumed it most have won and award, but I didn't see anything like that mentioned in the article.

Those last two pictures are from Rollins Square, which was part of a mixed use project funded by the Catholic Church. And in my opinion, the best way to provide affordable housing. On the opposite side of the church is Cathedral Housing, which was half boarded up only 5 years ago and in my...

Keep in mind that this picture is taken almost directly over the Mass Pike.

I would be more inclined to give credit to Boston Properties than PruPac. What did PruPac actually do?

I feel like this discussion has taken place before. Sure it is a nice thought to think that you can build housing w/o parking spaces and all the buyers decide to give up their cars to live there. But in reality this is never going to happen. This is actually the one issue that the NIMBY's...

The original proposal for this site were much taller. The neighborhood fought for and now all we have is a parking lot ........ I mean a future 12 story building. (about a decade after originally proposed)

shockingboston, What would you and/or the community rather see built on the site?

That was the Post Office.

Re: Dude you're an idiot I must be missing something ......... What was wrong with that particular comment? It seemed like a well thought out argument that I agree with. You will not find a developer that is going to come to Boston, pay a fortune for land and construction costs without...
