Add me to the group that thinks this a missed opportunity for a really cool project that incorporates parts of the existing complex/industrial heritage. Per the globe "Plans also call for a dock at the stadium site for ferries going to and from the casino." Because walking across the street is...

I think I like it?

I was wondering what the plan was next to that sports field, the plaza there made so little sense. Sort of bummed about the Annex buildings, not ground breaking in anyway but just solid pre-war, ped-scale backgrounders. Might not be a popular option, but I like colleges that have developed and...

Wow they really did a crazy hack job that renovation, they just left the party wall and historic windows as they were...

Honestly, I thought pretty much all of these buildings were already residential. I think I, and perhaps most people?, underestimated how much small office remains downtown.

I think you can see it in this 1971 skyline photo too.

Thanks for sharing, this looks like a great project! My two cents, adaptive re-use is development and does merit its own thread, especially in the context of the glut of vacate commercial space and incentives to encourage this sort of investment. Isn't there a thread kicking around on leases...

Its cool to see Union's little skyline coming into being.

Some choices were made here. I wonder if that's real wood that will weather (i am hoping yes).

I am v late to this discussion but think this is an interesting one. I think the distinction here is that conversions didn’t happen in the golden days of the 2010s because the office and lab market were also strong, thus demand could compete with residential and or the gap in value wasn’t so...

Its sort of giving Amsterdam waterfront along the Ij. Edit: this got me thinking, and talk about train station goals though. Amsterdam Centraal makes South Station look, well they are hardly comparable in terms of service but still. Honestly, not a bad idea to think about WWDD, what would...

The finishing touches really brought this project to life for me. I like it.

The art on these conex boxes which are also temp fencing is brilliant.

It's really not cheaper than conventional (at least yet) though clearly better from a worker comfort and safety standpoint and reduces construction waste. It has the promise of reducing construction time but at the expense of longer design times, and when a building takes longer to permit and...

It's giving early 2000s background building. More density would have been nice in this location, but I don't hate it.

When your billing rates exceed $800/hour why have quite nice when you can have wicked nice. Also, weren't they sort of spread out across a few buildings?

Apparently, you all are hungry. That said, I am here for the Londonization of new buildings monikers, but I guess that requires more than just different colored boxes :/

Its cool, but I feel like they are missing the hat trick with the glass on the recessed part in the middle. Maybe there is still film on it but that greenish color isn't my favor and it is also just a little too much glass... would have been nice to have a contrasting texture. Still a small...

I think this render is attempting to show morning sun, the water isn't due north of the park. I am assuming their model is using an actual sun path and followed the other shadow lines. Any in any case, I think its very reasonable to be pro-development but also pro-accurate representation. It...

"Forgot" the shadow though... so cozy.
