If a tower this big had been built in the 60s or 70s, it would just be there, and nobody would think twice about it. It’s absurd how difficult everything is in Massachusetts.

4200 Washington is Bob’s pita. My issue re number of businesses being lost is the project across the street on South St

It’s not just the materials that concern me. There’s something very sterile and corporate about that structural piece that appears to partly separates the entrance on the right commercial space from the sidewalk. Looks like a Bank of America or something. And again, why does every building have...

This thing looks ugly. While ideally we would never have to deal with ugly buildings, in such a prominent setting, they need to do better. But, much worse, this is replacing a string of small commercial spaces and blathering about the new commercial square feet aside, this looks like the...

this is cool, these dam removal projects are great https://www.atlanticfishhabitat.org/project/armstrong-dam-removal-monatiquot-river/

Honestly this is pretty tasteful especially for 59 units. Looks like a B&B which isn't a bad thing.

Good to see a watering hole here. So many spots around here lost their licenses to the seaport suck in the last decade and a half.

I just saw this today and was surprised - what is it?

I just mean that double quadrangle with CBC et al on the lower side and then FTC, Friendly Toast et al on the upper quad. I thought that was called Technology Square as the name of the overall development but guess I was wrong all these years—somehow never knew that is One Kendall! In any case...

Flat Top was such a loss. I still haven’t been to their new space tho. But yeah - that whole tech square area used to be incredible new urbanism to me - so much life - mix of old and new buildings - a great success. Really sad it’s all gone.

If only, instead of a building, the city could somehow just deck over this parcel and make a plaza facing the plaza between these two new buildings.

Looks like the utterly cold grey scale that has been in vogue in cheap condo conversions in the area (and for some reason rendered even more extreme via color filters in most listings). Copley is surrounded by warm tones: brown, terracotta, the Fairnount and the BPL both warmer grey. Why they...

Lol you're so absurd dude, get a life and maybe consider therapy. I said it was bullshit then and I said it's bullshit here too. Has nothing to do with your stupid paranoid fantasy of people hating on your neighborhood. http://www.mysouthend.com/news//340615 32.5 vs 35M, 17k sq ft per the Utile...

Looks beautiful, but yet again, this is over 2,000 a square foot. Really at a loss as to how the city justifies expense to this extreme.

what happens to the people who live in the buildings that are there now?

The city and state have a long track record of lacking any creativity and being very stuck in anachronistic transit patterns. They also have a pattern ofproposing and often also implementing transportation projects that simply grab low hanging fruit to throw on a bus lane or a bike lane or a...

As a native of all three having lived at Hammond & Reservoir right up the street, Newton Center, and Brookline Village between age 2 and 18, and Brookline for many years after that, I and all my Brookline friends would call this corner Brookline… I think. Maybe “Brookline right near Chestnut...

Could the city make it based on density? Obviously the more dense, the more pedestrians, and so it is more of a problem when a downtown area or busy street is blocked vs some side street.

Sounds like we need a separate thread for Ms Olson Pehlke lol
