Amazing photos that give a great sense of what the campus is turning into. The ground level shots are great, but it has been a challenge at times to really grasp the huge impact the new buildings have had. Thanks for sharing!

Boy that second rendering shared by stick leaves a lot to be desired. Kinda looks like a ProLogis warehouse with windows punched into it and some skin variation. I'm presuming the first rendering is a riverwalk of sorts that would be within the flood zone of Hollingsworth Pond looking east...

i believe this site is where the affordable units for Winthrop Tower is supposed to go. Does anybody remember how many of these 132 units Millennium is responsible for?

I am by no means saying don't take the swing, it would never happen if not asked for. I would just hope that it isn't a hill the neighborhood is wanting to die on. If the ask is being made, I am just asking for the rational arguement for it. Knowing that P&G is most likely doing the horizontal...

An interesting anecdote to the folks that have called for housing. Many folks who called for more housing in the master plan wanted to go from 30% up to a 33% threshold. They appeared to be referencing some survey/study/something that was advising that 33% threshold. A chuckle I gave myself is...

Thanks for sharing the slides. Looking at them, I would think if they building "future connection" from E Street to Summer Street (which would be completely logical) then the Fargo ROW could be abandoned and not create the funky triangle parcel that would be difficult to develop down the road.

Absolutely too lenient. Moving violations are within a 12 month window, so should these violations. I have heard of multiple people in the city not paying for parking because they have done the math in that the parking tickets they receive for illegally parking do not approach what it would cost...

Utterly ridiculous! Massive waste of money and land. 100%!! I said the same thing when this was made public almost exactly 1 year ago. Rather than this colossal waste of resources and land, we could open up government owned parcels for housing or additional commercial.

Redeveloping this parking lot will be great for the overall campus at WIT. Facade seems to be a bit bland, but its possible that the finish is intended to be in the background to some of the other buildings such as Wentworth Hall and such. Interesting the city website says 18 stories when the...

Walking in this morning I watched this truck give zero regard to the cycle track on Milk Street. Just turned into the lane and presumably drove right over the flex posts to leave. Nothing quite like disregard for the cycle track when there is a parking/loading space not even a block east...

All good. I looked on the previous page and found an image that shows the red outlined lot as a public plaza that would connect Switchpoint to Hancock. Presumably if it is being rendered in such a way, it is somehow included in the scope of the project, leaving who is doing the actual work (city...

Is the cleared lot adjacent to this building truly going to be public open space? Is this by this developer or is that a city project? Apologies for the uninformed question.

I saw this on Reddit as well and thought it could either be a base for a smaller crane such as this... Or maybe due to the extents of the renovation it will be the base for a buckhoist, construction elevator.

Would it not just be easier to discuss a better way of naming threads? I know things can change through the process, but presumably moderators have the ability to rename threads after creation. This is how another thread that I am active on titles threads... Personally I am a fan of more...

I think utilizing the arguement that long temporary measures will make this a highway expansion is a very silly argument. No matter how long those temporary measures have been in place. Technically the road is designed as four lanes between Newton Corner and Pru so the roadway is a 4-lane road...

While complex, the building should absolutely be adaptively reused. The right team is definitely needed to pursue such a goal, but I agree completely with the notion that we should work with the existing building to create something new. I started looking at this site before moving back and I am...

Really like that internal, piazza-like space for the building. I don't think I have ever walked the internal street of this block, but this is at least strives to pull folks into them.

This would be a great improvement. Similar to the Blue Hill Ave conversation, bike lanes would be a great plus (I want them as much as possible) but the bus lanes are the shining gem of that proposal. I get a kick out of the folks who talk about not seeing bikes as a reason for not have the...

I feel like many of the large, national developers tend to have more stringent standards for their parking ratios no matter their location. 1.13 spots per unit feels high, but is pretty comparable to other parts of the nation for them. These national developers are kinda similar to grocery...

So the publicly accessible pass-through... Is that intended to connect to this small parcel on the otherside of the Pike? Do we think this is purely a pedestrian bridge or do we think there is larger, air-rights projects that will be associated to that parcel??
