Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Also, their new building will create a shadow on that park! =) j/k

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion From the Boston Courant 8/27: "Liberty Mutual will be required to create a park as mitigation for the pedestrian connector bridge that will be built over Stuart Street. The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) board told the Fortune 500 Company...

Re: Filene's ^ I love the photo with that article: Menino to Vornado: O RLY?!

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown This is the last rendering of the proposed building (that I know of): Adam at Universal Hub attended the Design Commission meeting last September and wrote this: "Ron and his architect also showed how they had basically made the building more...

Re: Filene's The Banker & Tradesman article is referring to 93 Mass Ave, correct?: http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=2266 The Harvard Club and Elliot Hotel are complaining about shadows? I guess nothing will ever be built in this city. Everyone mentioned in that article is...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Is the perspective in the latest rendering exaggerated? I dont think the building is going to looks as thin and tall as it appears in that drawing.

Re: Waterside Place I had this same thought. Is it the presence of any retail that excites people? It looks like a cheap hotel you'd see along any highway in the US.

Okay, enough tomfoolery... back to the Greenway discussion.

Re: Developer plans $300M project for Fenway I hope the city will do something to calm traffic on that stretch of Boylston. Will the increased pedestrian activity have that effect?

Re: Developer plans $300M project for Fenway "then developers would not be able to fill their luxury units or get the prices they wanted." Is this the case in Boston? My understanding is that 45P, The W, (and what other buildings?) are not selling. [edit] I just realized the discussion was...

I've made many wonderful meals using fruits and vegetables from Haymarket. Yes, some of the produce can look a little tired at the end of the day on Saturday, but I don't think it's as bad as you describe it to be.

Re: 319 A Street Rear ahh, I wasn't sure if Melcher was to be extended or if that was part of the parking lot. That's probably going to be a dead end street (I doubt that Melcher will continue through to the service road) and that blank/unused facade on the new building will make that a dead zone.

Re: 319 A Street Rear Is the rear building a good place for retail? The current building that's being replaced was always hidden back there and is not very visible from the street. Also, there's no easy pedestrian access to the three sides that aren't facing A street -- those sides face an...

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center One of the Avalon/Prudential buildings is named The Fairfield. Are you sure it's not an existing structure?

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Marty is a woman, btw.

Re: 319 A Street Rear Is the rear building worth saving? I remember it being (possibly) newer than the front building at that address. I had an office at 319 A Street, above Chimera, for a year. It was such a cool space. I had to move because at that time you couldn't get internet in that...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion I was just reporting what I read. Marty Walz is looking into the concerns which were brought up by "the stakeholders". I find it difficult to believe that the proposed building could cast a shadow that far.

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion There's article about the Liberty Mutual building in the Courant today. There are new concerns about the building casting a shadow on the Garden/Common. I tried to find the article online but I can't find the Courant's web site.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) So was it zoning, concessions, and the need to retain the historic facade that made this a mediocre building?

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) ^ Yeah, that was Jean Nouvel's MOMA/Hines tower that was reduced by 200 ft.
