    Weston infill and small developments

    From Billy Don Schaeffer to Kurt Schmoke to so many others after - - I’ve seen a lot of “Baltimore is coming back” slogans. Markets are efficient. There’s a reason for the those prices. I’ve lived in SW Baltimore, Catonsville, Ellicott City and now upper Montgomery County. I’ve been Charlie...

    I said the same thing about Baltimore when I moved there 38 years ago……..rampant crime counts.

    Oh yeah, that building and window pattern really catches the “character” of the North End :sneaky: Seriously, a big FUCK YOU to those responsible for this.

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    ....not to mention the stone/brick? work on that front patio. AND the beautiful smudged orange traffic cones standing and lying at the upper left hand corner of that patio picture. Oooh, oooh, and the chain link fence around the property!!! Chef's Kiss! Nothing says "Hospitality" more...

    Route 128 Developments

    Perhaps you didn't READ the article, because you have it 100% backwards. "........Many office buildings are now vacant, and their owners are asking Waltham for tax abatements. This year, the city raised its residential tax rate by 5 percent to account for lost revenue." Seriously, you could...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    "......Hanley added that while he has no guess how much the market-rate units will go far, they will not be marketed, or priced, as the sort of luxury units that have gone up in large numbers over in the Seaport a few blocks away. "There's a lot of luxury housing" in the area, but not a lot of...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Figure of speech humor, Chris, like the oceanfront real estate in Iowa. The point was ‘anything looks good with an open air market on it’. Just look at that Cisco Brewers Seaport. An open air market is the best pig lipstick there is. But seriously, the Design-By-Committee Copley Square Plaza...

    Probably the same way Banh Me does in Dorchester or Greek food in Allston, or the Legal Seafoods in Chicago. Urban residents and tourists will seek it out for the food diversity. And IF it’s good, has an affordable lease and an efficient business plan, it will be even more popular than just...

    Revere Beach Developments/infill | Revere

    Per that “construction value of $5.48 million” for 62 residential units that works out to less than $90k/apartment. Is this going to be made of matchsticks and styrofoam? The render sure does look Siberian.

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    I wasn’t cvommenting on the lack of people in the pics. I was astonished at how very chaotic and disorganized the schematic is for this long-awaited square. ***And can someone please look at the final photo in Missinglink’s post #375 - - just to the left of the hand railing - the second block...
