Yes, but the apex of that roofline is almost (within a couple of feet) level with the roof of 162 Columbus, which is a five story building. We could also look directly across the street at 108 Arlington which also sits at 5 stories. I would think (hope) that the proverbially floor on minimal...

I like 251 would prefer they keep that and incorporate it somehow and putting the tower above rather than "Disneyfying" this block by trying to replicate/ continuing the architectural language of the Hub on Causeway. They advocate that a tertiary benefit would be an expansive sidewalk on this...

Is steel a surprising choice for luxury residential? I can't remember if these will be rentals or not, but I though the preferred fabrication for noise purposes was CIP concrete?

North core cleared of equipment as of this afternoon; looks to be working on the southern, more substantial core now.

I'm going to pose this question packaged with an apology if already discussed (this also might need to be moved to a "design a better Boston," but it feels relevant here despite being an offshoot/ rabbit hole). In the world of "allowing for 'better' while striving for 'best,'" why has the T not...

could this be more hostile?

Yeah, wondering about that too. Not sure how to make sense of that clear glass and this rendering: That reads to me as opaque, similar to Atlantic Wharf. However when Atlantic Wharf went up, the glass was frosted upon installation, so I'm puzzled. Atlantic Wharf, January 2010 (courtesy of...

Top/ final row of glass going in this week. Early in the process, but as of right now, this crown appears to be unique in its high degree of transparency vs the reflectivity of Winthrop Sq and opaqueness of Atlantic Wharf.

I've been hyper focused on the city finishing the Berkeley lanes that I was shocked by a new bike protected lane going in on Arlington from Boylston to Cortes. - New bike signal added this morning to cross Boylston (maintaining left curb orientation); currently bagged. - New separate phased...

Great shot; the "Easter Egg" of what looks like two complete sets of 1900s in the foreground is fun....

very thankful this was not VE'd; it's really stunning.

Berkeley Street bike lanes are complete as of this morning. Separated ride from Tremont to Comm Ave. While Tremont to Columbus was established/striped last year, the bright green markings appeared overnight last night for the lane's entire length when they finished striping the northern half...

I believe they were speaking to the White Hall teardown (corner of Huntington & Forsyth).

finishing touches will be important; the rendering of the finished product looks more joyful than what's been constructed to-date.

I have to disagree with the majority on this update; I think this is a very disappointing downgrade. That corner (Warren/Ziegler) that featured the soaring overhang faces a pretty large open area in Dudley Station, I think something more dramatic was appropriate. Also when standing under the...

I was wondering what happened to this project and found an application to receive a waiver to build a 3 level, 587 space underground garage that was submitted in March of this year. Note that this schematic was updated in December 2023 The petition did appear on the APCC's (Air Pollution...

update: they made marginal progress today; there are now 5 exposed balconies instead of 6 as depicted in BeeLine's photos from the weekend.

Agreed, but it wouldn't be exposed like that if/when 220 Dot Ave gets developed (it would sit in the foreground in this shot). Note that screengrabs 2 - 4 render massing for something at 220; it's just removed from this vantage to demonstrate this northern facade of the proposed building.

It's almost surreal in real life too. Biking past this building, it really awes in terms of size; this expansion of MGH is huge.

@sean99090900 : I figured this comparison might come up, so I think to illustrate my point, imagine if only 111 and the Pru were the prominent buildings of the Back Bay skyline (eliminate 1 Dalton, 1 Clarendon, and the some of the mid rise hotels). I think this too would seem odd to have the...
