Man - this project is a real testament to the demographic shift (for the upwardly mobile) Somerville has seen since I was a kid (graduated from Winchester HS in '09). We used to joke about "Slumerville" even as we drove to Davis Square to hang out for lunch and on weekend. Yes, I understand the...

Super handsome in these pics

Memorial Drive is the best angle for this I've seen so far, as so many of the others are obscured. Thanks for the pics, DZH!

Looks nice but that massive garage better be to support future future phases

I don't think we know, most of the remaining parcels are resi and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be similarly tall or taller, esp along the property line with the commuter rail maintenance facility. But they haven't released final designs so we'll wait and see...

Remember how people used to cite "Manhattanization" as a terrible worry to avoid at all costs? I wonder if they object to this project's very constrained/dense site and how it comes up so close to its neighbors. It truly does remind me of Manhattan levels of density, which is pretty neat - not...

I believe the uppermost floors were built as jail cells and therefore not good candidates for adaptive reuse

Was just thinking the same thing - Boston is on a roll and has been for quite a while now!

Watertown has upscale single family houses near Oakley Country Club but apart from those neighborhoods, I never thought of it as a "nicer town" for the metro. Always interesting to learn the different perceptions of others! That said, I have no expectations that Wellesley and Weston are going to...

NYC is pretty much the next town over from Boston, if you think about it ;)

Apologies if already posted, but this presentation from August 3 has a lot of renders/images I hadn't seen until today. Plus more detailed plans (pedestrian connection to Canal St is preserved). https://bpda.app.box.com/s/ru9wpymj3aqq1s4lesgj9jochp95jnwj

Boston is killing the game of building lots of ~20-25 fl micro-scrapers 😂

It IS part of phase 1, actually! "Following completion of the South Station Transportation Center and mixed-use tower (Phase 1), two other project phases will follow."

Sweet cranes pic, bro 😎

In case anyone missed the NAR scheme before Amtrak’s plan release https://northatlanticrail.org/archive/2021/july14-connect2035

One consideration the proponent cites in the Globe piece is the additional cost and difficulty of building up to (even a bit above, if I recall) the central artery tunnel, and from this diagram, one can see how that might be the case. I am disappointed in the PNF like most of you, regardless.

Huge relief TBH, the renders did not inspire much confidence! Here’s to hoping the crown detailing looks better than the renders, too 😂
