Isn't there supposed to be another residential tower wrapping remains of the garage? Any word on it?

True. But they've been building speed tables all over the place - there's at least 8 around Tufts now, so I figured snow plowers must be getting familiar with handling these...

Hmm, I was hoping for a raised crosswalk here. To create more of an uninterrupted walkway effect..

I wonder how heavily this has to be subsidized? Can it run trough the winter instead of wrapping up with the holidays?

There's a ton of doctor's offices for MGH BackBay there

Trader Joe's is coming to 500 Boylston: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/12/07/business/trader-joes-back-bay/

Those windows remind me of 'hanging chads' from 2000 election :) I like it. Kind of unusual to see operable windows on a skyscraper..

That might work well for the casino, but is not going to be able to support a soccer game.

Really like this one. Wish it took over SUNOCO as well, can't see it being redeveloped by itself...

Same thing with their building on Melcher - no obvious signs.

Is it weird that I still can't believe this is actually happening?

I'm sick of both blue glass curtain walls and asymmetrical windows (giant order or not) - but I think the latter works better than the former here.

At this point I'm half-expecting Krafts to announce lab space in their new Foxboro upgrade.

I think 315 on A belongs here And depending on how far you want to go: Flats on D, Aloft, Element

Hope they can go on renting for another 15 years!

Time to put this parcel back to bid.

Hmm, no underground parking on this one?

I am fine with curving Boylston St. But pedestrian experience can be improved by eliminating "islands", expanding sidewalks, improving lighting and activating park edges a bit. All pretty doable with some impact to car throughput.

Before covering parcel 11 I'd be happy with a much smaller first step - making pedestrian walk along Charlsgate over I90 a bit less harrowing.

Yeah, it was one huge wasted opportunity called "Columbus Center" - there's a whole thread on this forum (warning: soul-crushing): https://archboston.com/community/threads/columbus-center-rip-back-bay.970/
