    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I don't know if I'm reading it wrong, but it looks like Mumbai is the largest market to BOS with 74,418 rt passengers annually. That breaks down to 204 passengers per day, 102 each way. Seating capacity is 255-260 on AI's 787s. Maybe I'm missing something in the data, but that doesn't seem like...

    Cassidy Point

    To me, this seems like a fantastic location for this project. Waterfront, right at a major entry/gateway to the city, close enough to the city center without taking up urban land that would be better suited for housing/mixed-use, etc. I wonder if it makes anyone feel better about the proposed...

    Thank you both! Don't know why I didn't think to check the Development Mapper. But yes, that's exactly it.

    Agreed. And prior to this, I was actually in the BRT camp as I felt it was the more pragmatic approach in this instance. But RIPTA's own numbers favor LRT to the extent that I don't think the BRT options are even worth considering. And that's not even factoring in the impact that LRT will have...

    This makes a stronger case for LRT than I anticipated. The construction cost for LRT is obviously significantly higher, but so is ridership. And the operating cost per rider for LRT is significantly lower.

    No. That's what I initially thought, but that development is on the other side of the Waterman Grill. The construction I saw looked to be in the bottom left of the map in post #2 of that thread. Just beyond the boundaries of the parking lot there.

    Anyone know what the construction is off of Pitman St, near the back side of the parking lot used for Waterman Grill? (right about here). Looks like the concrete pillars used to support an elevated structure along a tidal waterfront or a place that's prone to flooding.

    Areo on Admiral | 663 Admiral Street | Providence RI

    Drove by this the other day and the exterior looks like it's nearing completion. It's pretty massive compared to the scale of the neighborhood around it.

    The New Retail Thread

    "Victoria Greer told the board yesterday that she and her husband Walter plan on doing more than just offering up desserts at their franchise - their workforce will consist of adults with disabilities and "court-involved youth and adults and that they are working with groups such as Straight...

    195 Providence Innovation & Design District

    The Guild had a soft opening last weekend. Looks as if they might be open Friday-Sunday this weekend.

    Bellevue Hotel | Bellevue Ave | Newport

    It looks great. That surface lot/shopping center right there is very anti-urban. This will be big upgrade, even for those of us who probably can't afford a night there.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    As an engineering-adjacent professional, I'd like to point out that we tend to prefer our support columns to be more straighty-waity than the curvy-swervy column seen in that photo. (sorry for the jargon)

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    I got the reference, I just didn't feel like it was applicable here or really even accurate. To start, it was pretty clear that the conversation in this thread was specifically about external appearance of the building. Not the interior (which, to my knowledge, nobody in this thread has seen...

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    Nope. The Moxy brand is actually intentional about being "unique" and "locally inspired." It's one of the brand's core pillars. Obviously there are certain things that they replicate across locations (the pink "Moxy" logo, the check-in at the bar, the spartan, industrial looking rooms), but the...

    TPG Tower

    Someone mentioned that on reddit. They probably withdrew the proposal, but I guess there's a chance it was somehow omitted from the latest data pull.

    What surprises me is that The Guild doesn't have their temporary beer garden setup in place, like they have had for years, while waiting on the Pavilion. Maybe they were offered the opportunity to do that and declined, but these warm weather months are few and far between and it's critical...

    Parcels 8 and 8a | 195 District | Providence

    The entire facade with the hip roof/mansard roof is seemingly identical on the Churchill & Banks design. Right down to the alternating brick and grey granite (?) and the narrow ground-to-roof vertical black window column. I don't hate it, and it certainly shouldn't generate much pushback since a...

    Industrial National Trust (Superman Building) | Downtown | Providence

    I don't think it's goulish - I doubt Crossen's connections to the current administration hurt. I remain optimistic that there will eventually be enough momentum to get this unstuck. This is a good start.

    Parcels 8 and 8a | 195 District | Providence

    Aesthetically, I immediately preferred the Churchill & Banks proposal. The massing (looking like two different buildings) felt less generic, super blocky to me. But after looking through both proposals, I'm leaning toward Marathon/The Kelsey. Churchill has a fairly large surface lot in the rear...
