First piece went up today on the SE corner... looks tall...like ~3 stories.

Riding along the W 4th bridge this morning, the first tower crane was continuing the process of building the second. It looks less apparent by these pictures, but the second crane base being built appeared remarkably wider than the first; might have been the angle/ positioning

Oddly, somebody went through the effort of photoshopping out the crane that is very much still up above the roofline....weird.

the wrap on the top of the core is down as of this morning...

Some of the buildings downtown have bike parking in their garages. The Garage at the Copley Marriot comes to mind. Still follow the guidance on locks from Henry, but I used to park there (pre-pandemic) and it was well lit, not visible on the street, had multiple parking attendants on-site and...

put several gantries up on Rte 3 to avoid the "skipping the toll crowd." Toll MA residents like $0.25 and like $2.00 for out of state....no different than what ME and NH do to us...

Probably a "wild pitch," but what about a mixed civil use site? My first thought was Blackstone keeps its Shawmut first floor frontage and is lofted over first floor retail on Washington. That said, I imagine the restrictions of operating under a school could be a deterrent to a lot of...

398....32 feet taller than 177 Huntington; this will decidedly push the "skyline" westward a couple of blocks.

I saw this in person for the first time last night. It really does tower over the neighborhood and given its monolithic shape, I was immediately reminded of Duloc Castle.

Took me a while, but settled on anchors/ steelwork to hold the letters versus the actual letters themselves.... definitely the start of something on the south face; north face still looks free of it for now.

I don't know if this is reasonable vs crazy, but perhaps pull 90 north/east ~1 mi to Suffolk Downs, Make 1A the Frontage Road on either side and put up another toll gantry somewhere in the neighborhood of Bennington Street. Keeps things moving and pulls in some cash to help offset the expense...

I noticed today on https://newtrains.today/ that 1900 is currently in service. Yesterday, it was 1904 in service. Is this the same 4 car set? Are there two sets running intermittently? How do I find this out?

"Ugh.... if this had been taller." This phrase pops up a lot on this board, and sure some proportions would lend themselves to more aesthetically pleasing buildings, but in this case, I wishing for height for a different reason: to stand out better against the (IMO) lesser foreground buildings...

3 Melville Ave... near Codman Sq https://www.google.com/maps/place/3+Melville+Ave,+Boston,+MA+02124/@42.2933375,-71.0710539,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e37b9462f572c3:0x1ed5bd86f7decfcc!8m2!3d42.2933375!4d-71.0705067

Exciting to see that they've started the screen! I've been thinking about this "polygonal" portion that was once rendered as a darker/ charcoals color versus now where it's rendered in white. I'm wondering if it will actually be the same material/ coloring used to cap the sides of the...

That would make sense given the number of service cancellations that occur on the Riverside line any time a sizable storm blows through; trees frequently fall blocking the railway or damaging the catenary lines. This approach is less attractive, yes, but you have to applaud the future proofing.

I love the SPUI and as someone that lives about a 1/2 mile from this cluster****, I despise interchange 14 (old 15) and wonder why this hasn't been implemented by MassDOT. One challenge to the plan east of the interchange that I want to point out is the grade separation. With both Columbia Rd...

I'm having trouble explaining it, but I really like the pattern on the angular building in the foreground in this pic. I always enjoy looking at it on the loop ramps...maybe because it's a more unfamiliar pattern in Boston (though the new Volpe does a riff on this too). I would like to see...

I work in Copley and get to see this up close a few times /week now (I think the screening came down around Thanksgiving on the eastern side). When naturally lit by sunlight, the letters are much harder to notice and read now that they are on clear glass (versus the black backdrop from before)...

Is there a cap on how fast it can rise based on curing times for the floors below? Yes, they have all of the additional, temporary supports, but I wonder if that caps the speed in which recently poured floors can take on the stress of x# additional floors above? Also, this upper portion...
