    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    This project is going to happen. In January of 2028, 2,000 students and 500 faculty/staff begin study and work at the new Roux campus. It's 2/3 of a mile from Redfern's proposal build. The new trail and bridge will be done, so now a 10-15 min. walk and 5 min. E-bike ride back and forth. In 2031...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    Another option. There are available lots near Bruno's and it has 3 tracks so that the overhead bridge idea is not necessary. The authority is putting zero effort into this. This area features numerous businesses and it's walking distance of UNE. Their current proposal sucks, and everyone on this...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    Build the station over the tracks with parking underneath. Their proposal compromises the station simply for Brunswick, a low passenger count destination. As is, PTC offers a great dynamic for bus and train travel. Or, put more effort into working with Concord Coach and then only offer one train...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    The design is similar to the station in Old Saybrook, CT, population 10,481. The overhead bridge concept does not create a cohesive space dynamic. Portland's will be in an industrial area, so few are walking, especially at night when the 1 AM and then the 1:55 AM event train pulls in. Security...

    Vega (MXD Residential ) | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    I'd add another ten floors. They could fill those units easily with the exodus from New York now. Seriously though, is that realistic? I know they did it with the Maine Medical Center in Portland with their $350 million dollar build. It started to go up before Covid and the "clean room" idea...

    Harvard Enterprise Research Campus | 100 Western Avenue | Allston

    Perhaps the Treehouse could use some "leaves" inside and out. Greenery can distract or disguise and thus largely improve almost any building. Back in I think 2008 (?) I did a media job that took me to the Grand Ole Opry Hotel in Nashville. It has a spacious atrium, something like what you'd see...

    Harvard Enterprise Research Campus | 100 Western Avenue | Allston

    Usually when an interesting or important new building or development is built in Boston, I grab a nice camera and visit to take a small slide show. It's rare, but I'm going to pass on this one.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Yes, feels dull and falling short of potential. If the stadium is slated for a 25,000 capacity, then for concerts, etc. it could become 30,000 (in the round with stage access underneath). Currently, for events that are best suited for indoors (concerts), 6 months of the year Boston can only...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    It won a design award. These two buildings and its bridging plaza create a great first impression when headed into the city on the Mass Pike. It feels like the entrance to the future. And in many ways now, it is.

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    Yes, purely functional here. Perkins&Will designed Maine Medical's latest expansion in Portland ($500 mill) and the primary building is an 8 story beauty. The interior looks like something you'd see in Dubai or London, and so not Maine in Maine, as I like to say...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Fabulously better than the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan of which made me feel as though I was in a dystopian nightmare.
