    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Certainly love that the development has claimed additional skyline territory and will give us something modern and a little dreamy to look at from the Greenway soon.

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    Definitely prefer the vanity of looking great with this one. Going to be a visually tantilizing approach traveling The Pike from BU. Open up the budget!

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    I've noticed the reconfiguring of streets to be an underground hobby of this city. It wouldn't shock me to see eventual reduction to two lanes via extended sidewalk and added bike + parking lanes. Boston did raze city neighborhoods to build a highway, only to later change mind and put the...

    North End Piazza on The Greenway | 198 Hanover Street | North End

    It's rather bold to be this lazy with a true once in a lifetime opportunity. A new entrance to Boston's historic and very authetic Italian neighborhood, The North End? Burn this proposal. And then go do some homework and come back with Italian passion. What a joke!

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    I have to be honest, I love city hall's design. I take photos of it whenever I'm walking by. It seems to embody what the future was imagined to be at the time of design, a cold totalitarian government. Somewhat prophetic architecture can be? Perhaps it will take more time for respect to grow...

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    I love the finished product, but imagine a finer finish had the Auerbach Center name been scaled down and affixed top left with a much smaller Celtics logo floating beneath, centered. This is tacky and unnecessary imho. A real ghetto choice lol. Who did this? lol

    Rio Grande (née Dudley Square Residential Tower) | Washington St. | Roxbury

    Roxbury deserves this type and scale of development!

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    I have come to see the office tower redesign within the context of a future Boston. One of the greatest experiences about visiting foreign places is the architecture that often comes across as odd to me. Though many do not like this tower and other prominent structures in our beautiful city, I...

    One Kenmore Square | 560 Commonwealth Avenue | Kenmore Square

    Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I agree with Odurandina on max height here. Dense commercial destination/residential areas with transit are central and support larger scale development. Infill is a runoff response from areas like these which produce support...

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    I hope this project sets in motion a new wave of redevelopment with a similar perspective. They actually feel responsible to represent themselves in greater alignment with Boston's growing global status--amazing to hear in this old town considering the aesthetic and overall modernization focus...

    MassDOT Pike Parcels 12 - 15 | Boylston St. and Mass. Ave | Back Bay

    Great news although unfortunate slash to the overall project scale. Odurandina, any info on whether or not there is room/plan for future development on this parcel?

    Mission Hill Infill and Small Developments

    +1 I literally thought to myself this morning as I walked down the street, "they need to put all of these power lines underground like Miami, looks crazy and cheap." Definitely wouldn't get any money from me to live in there with all of that going on, it's only a matter of time before one...

    Rio Grande (née Dudley Square Residential Tower) | Washington St. | Roxbury

    Re: Dudley Square Residential Tower | Washington St. | Roxbury IMO, the spirit of what you're hoping seems to be a desire for everyone to enjoy a centralized place of economic and cultural foundation. I grew up in the area and attended the Deaborn Middle School in 97'. Much of which has taken...

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Not to stray too far from the project, but this is a rather healthy can that has been opened. I must admit, as found5dollar mentioned-although never interacting enough to be part of the "missed members"-my lack of interest to participate in board discussion has been largely based on such...

    Ferdinand Building Renovation + Addition | Dudley Sq | Roxbury

    Re: Dudley Sq's Ferdinand Building to be Restored/ Renovated For the last 15yrs I've envisioned Dudley as an innovative and leading economic center--as downtown Roxbury. How I feel seeing this investment is beyond words and this area has the potential to continue its shaping into an American...

    The New Retail Thread

    Well, that has been the topic of discussion in high-end retail. Boylston is the new target with the Mandarin at one end with the likes of Gucci and the FourSeasons with Hermes and others... Vidal Sassoon is opening a new salon across from the Tannery and im sure the rennovations to facades and...

    The New Retail Thread

    Ron, My position in regards to better tenants for the Newbry is simply based on the flair of the Back Bay retail segment and the idea of Boylston being re-invented to be some grand, international avenue. I'm also basing this on the original plan for the building and its original targeted...

    The New Retail Thread

    Funny thing is that it has been for a very long time. As we know with any company, particularly fashion retailers, prime location and space is key as their presence is an advertisement which is taken extremely seriously as it is their lively-hood. I must say im a bit surprised at the...
