    Commonwealth Pier Revitalization (née Seaport WTC)| 200 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport

    Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped? ^+1 I like the juxtaposition of the old and new. It also adds character in an otherwise sterile neighborhood (yes I know we are a long way from complete). I also appreciate what it does for the actual "skyline" in the seaport since it is a...

    How Tall Are Boston's Buildings and Should They Be Taller?

    Oh no! A total catastrophe. I'd go jump off a building, but I'm not sure there are any tall enough in this city to kill me.

    Chinatown - Progress or Gentrification?

    Said Mayor Hynes and the BHA to the West End in 1953. Chinatown has it's faults, but I find it a nice reprieve from surrounding areas.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Dude...Chill. We've been through this multiple times. Just use incognito mode in Google chrome. Problem solved.

    Avalon North Station | Nashua Street Residences | West End

    When I was leaving my office on Causeway Street, I looked at the easterly facing site of this building. The fascia (These are concrete, so I don't know if there is a better term for what I'm referring to) of the balconies apparently have LED light strips that flash on and off randomly. I...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    FWIW, the 1daltonconstruction website indicates in their August-October update that there will be a second, smaller tower crane.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I hope I'm misinterpreting your response and it is, in fact, an attempt at humor.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Is it just me or is that tower between the two under construction leaning?

    MassDOT Pike Parcels 12 - 15 | Boylston St. and Mass. Ave | Back Bay

    Yeah, when I look at this, I can't help but be reminded of a certain brick clad building on the corner of Stuart St and Charles St that shall remain nameless. I will withold judgement until it's on the ground, but the renderings aren't very promising. Hopefully this is just a bad case of...

    One Harbor Shore Dr. | Fan Pier Parcel H | 1 Harbor Shore Drive | Seaport

    Peanut, hazelnut, cashew nut, macadamia nut. Harlan pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts...

    What to do about the NEAQ?

    You bet he would. We could fit at least 3 skinny dubai-esque supertalls between those two parcels complete with a new radar station on top for Logan. It could be epic, brah!

    Lovejoy Wharf | 131 Beverly Street | West End

    Crews have been installing pre-cast panels where the construction elevator was since yesterday. They were about three floors up this morning.

    Another POS development from your friends at BP.

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    If bobthebuilder's calculations are even somewhat correct, it won't be close. MT's pour was over 6,000 cubic yards.

    Citgo Sign

    The only supertall we will ever have is the hard-on Odurandina has right now thinking about one in Kemore Square.

    Construction elevator is getting taken down. We're in the home stretch.

    Boston Properties Office Tower | 888 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    That won't change my perspective on this one. A crappy mid-rise is a crappy mid-rise. The ground level will be great, I'll admit that, but it just doesn't belong in the skyline, IMO (or at the very least, this part of the skyline). I'm not an architect, so I have trouble describing my issue...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    It's bracing for the garage. See how it is tied to the support columns of the garage. This is on the one congress side. The residential tower is on the other side of the garage.

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    I prefer to call it the Millennium Tower. My issue has nothing to do with the use of an abbreviation (thanks for the somewhat insulting lesson in "abbreviations of the Commonwealth"). I just don't like "millie" (and there are clearly some folks that agree). And now you got me to write it in...
