    1550 Soldiers Field Road & 21 Soldiers Field Place | Brighton

    ^ It looks like actual cladding. Look at the texture (or pattern?).

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    Is it? I thought CarGurus was only leasing the south tower. The last renders I saw didn't have any signage, just a blank wall and indicated the north tower would be hotel/res. The footprint of the north tower is really narrow. But that was all before CarGurus signed.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    I wish that blank section of wall could be in a less prominent location.

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    It's pretty easy to declare things can be done cheaper, but it's a lot harder to be specific about how you will make cuts.

    MassDOT Rail: Springfield Hub (East-West, NNERI, Berkshires, CT-Valley-VT-Quebec)

    ^ Do Palmer and Holyoke have the same soil conditions and the same flood conditions? Do they have the same street layout? Do they have the same expected boardings and departures? Do they have the same bus connections? You're making a lot of assumptions when you assert the design can be the same.

    Roads and Highways General Development Thread

    Has anyone in this thread seen the current state of the interchange before complaining? It's literally a squashed cloverleaf with no northbound bike/ped path, no westbound bike/ped path, and minimal eastbound facilities. The proposed change is clearly an improvement for all modes, at least in...

    What's your obviously-better suggestion then?

    Time & Temp Building / Brown St. Parking Garage Redevelopment | Portland

    I have no idea why they felt compelled to make a sign that wide and only fill one third of it.

    Woburn infill and small developments

    Let's hope the TOD actually materializes. Has Woburn actually zoned the area for it?

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    It's "up to", not "exactly". Up to 30 stories still allows a 10 story building.

    ^ My parents will be thrilled to see rail spurs installed at every house in the neighborhood!

    Fenway Corners (Red Sox) | 1 Jersey Street | Fenway

    Anyone have the specifics on the new zoning? The article doesn't specify and I wasn't able to quickly find them on Google.

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    I'm pretty sure this park will be dead without it. There's no reason to stop here. You'll just cut through it.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, so I apologize if I'm bringing old news. I recently got an up-close look at this building, and I noticed a detail I hadn't before: The alternating thin panels have thin vertical copper-colored stripes. I'm not sure it really looks any better than...

    Waltham Infill and Small Developments

    Earlier this week, I took a few of quick pictures of the apartments under construction in northwest Waltham. First, the 40B cube looks to be more or less finished. As is typical, the building is named after a person: The Wright. According to the website, apartments are available now and the...

    One Mystic | 1 Mystic Avenue | Charlestown

    It's really not bad at all, it's just not as grand as the original concept.
