The fare engagement initiative has been in the making for about a year, so they're not related. The feds are just looking for a reason to bully a blue state/city. I'd venture to guess less than 10% of the population knows how federal funding plays into the T's budget formulas, so to the general...

The sensationalist headlines are flowing right in. I wouldn't advise clicking to give them more ad revenue. ‘Generational impact’: Historic decision clears way for 70-story skyscrapers in Downtown Boston Excellent journalism here.. The average reader doesn't know the details within PLAN...

I opened the presentation and assumed a traffic study was appended at the end, since it was 367 pages. The man really presented 367 slides to the City of Brookline. He turned it into a freshman-level college lecture on planning and design. The frontrunner based on community feedback so far...

Ew.

Oh damn, my bad... I'll edit.

I think between this, One Congress, and Suffolk downs, Hines has reached pretty deep into their and others' pockets. As I understand it, they protect themselves from individual projects "faltering" and impacting other projects as a standard business practice, but I would imagine they're going to...

Does anybody know the CM for this?

All fair points, but in this day and age, at the scale of major public works, some architects are famous because they were given a budget to make something worthy. This TOD project, 20-something years in the making, wasn't standing on the strongest of financials to make a really well designed...

It's pretty crazy there still isn't any substantial information about this project. The most info is on the Harvard Construction Mitigation website, which lists this as the "New FAS Building," with an aerial of the existing conditions/Littauer Center as the project image.

The owner and UDC preferred the bold and sharp option with some slight modifications - the street-level apartment interface at the corner may change from their comments and it may impact the second-level balcony/all the balconies. The other remaining facade change is the UDC suggested axing the...

I suspect Scape is exiting the Boston market. They initially came in with big promises of $1 billion to invest in student housing, got backlash on each one of their projects, of which only one made it out of the ground/opened. Combined with high construction costs and a pause in college...

I was down here today as well and the flurry of construction activity around this block/side of Kendall is really impressive.

Gang Studios messed up speccing a very dark glass. With a building like their's - timber and a highly public venue, you would think a highly transparent glass would fit right in.

^What we'd be left with This is a pretty sharp proposal:

I feel the bottom portion has gotten worse this round, and the top is better this time.

The project doesn't really align with the T's current investment objectives (below), which is essentially to keep the system running. By the time they've allocated the funding for the critical "lights-on" projects, there's little to no money left for expansion. Consequently, there was no...

Using his Massport title is amusing considering everything else he's accomplished... Thomas Glynn

This and the $1.5 billion Chapter 90 funding announcement in the post prior while the T faces a funding deficit this year is quite telling..
