    115 Federal St. (Winthrop Square)

    Agreed in principle, but i have to disagree with this statement in part. The Hurley is not especially hard to take from the city hall side. the garden / open courtyard is, for me, elegant. that said, the beacon hill side seems mediocre and the west end side, while fanciful, seems near...

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    Re: Hmm re: benefits of the units going affordable, i'd say it depends on two things: how you define benefits, and what your frame of reference is. if you think the city is benefits when it has a diversity of income levels, and you are looking at a time frame that extends beyond the fiscal...
