Get this, per today's Bisnow article on this: The Harbor Towers lawsuit also asked for GUARANTEED parking from Chiofaro, but the judge did NOT allow that part to go forward in the lawsuit. Wow, is all I can say.

I really do not see how a group of people living in two forty story towers, directly on the waterfront, have the gall to argue against neighboring development. If they succeed in stopping Chiofaro, I hope he succeeds by taking away their parking options. Cause and effect in action, or perhaps...

^I don't believe the first paragraph is completely true. (but perhaps not pertaining to Brooklyn) I remember reading somewhere that most of the tall Manhattan towers are concentrated centrally due to varying soil/bedrock conditions in certain areas of the city. (this prohibits taller towers in...

There are some good quality videos that people have posted on Youtube showing their Encore room/views out of the windows of the skyline. (Awesome views!) A few were posted on opening day. Some did it to be able to say they were the first person to ever check into their room. (Does that qualify...

^The irony is that it is a "camo" design, but it does nothing but stand out (very badly) instead of being camouflaged. :o

^The slow progress is the result of being surrounded by all of those great Italian restaurants! A big plate of pasta with-a meata-ball, followed by a few Mike's Pastry cannoli for dessert, results in very slow moving construction workers. :smile:

^Wow. How dare they remove that beautiful, modern corrugated metal facade! (Makes you wonder: WTF were they thinking back then!?)

^Awesome pics...I never realized there was parking on the roof of the Eastern Airlines terminal.

I could be nitpicking here,(ok,I am) :lol: but one would think that Massport would just designate Terminal E as being Terminal D to eliminate all confusion. (it was already mentioned that the public complained it would be confusing to rename it) I don't see how it's confusing. Everyone knows...

Not that it matters much, but does anyone know why we have Terminals A,B,C and E, with no terminal D? Logic would place terminal D where C is now, if terminal B was split in half, with the other half being terminal C. I was wondering if that was the original plan. (?)

I'm hoping those "oil-derrick" style light poles don't end up being used to illuminate the park. They would look great in West Texas, not so much here. I would prefer something modern and clean looking.

Raffles Hotel is a GO! The $314 million project has been financed by Madison Realty Capital of New York.

^They'll probably knock that $7 charge off/reimburse when you spend money at the property. (validated boat rides)....perhaps free spins on the slots, which will end up in the casino's coffers anyway. :-P

^This render shot shows the differentiation of height between the two towers the best. Wow, I didn't quite grasp the height of the office tower until I saw this image. This will be very impressive from the harbor and Logan. Lit crowns here, Hub on Causeway, SST, Winthrop Sq, etc. (plus...

^I entirely agree. MT is the most impressive tower since JHT, it looks absolutely stunning. (best in the skyline in my eyes) Winthrop should look just as impressive when it's done-lit crown and all. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Millenniums' project's are enhancing Boston immeasurably. We...

^I'm hoping Norwegian can stay afloat. Already have my Rome flight booked for Sept-Oct. ($530 non-stop flights) During booking, you pay for every single thing for the flight a-la-carte. Priority boarding, seat assignment, meal, checked bag, etc. I'm worried because I too have been reading about...

^Plus, if you factor in the actual height versus "story" height, (building rises to 61 floors if I remember correctly, but it's 742' tall) so those balconies are actually in the 70+-story range, not in the 60's if one uses the generally accepted 10'/floor. It's really equivalent to a 74 story...

^A lost opportunity. N.E. Studios in Devens could've filmed a Godzilla scene there. He'd be munching away on it all.

News flash: The latest reports are that Millenium was afraid the building could sink like in SF, and the observation deck would end up as the lobby anyway. (I mean Great Hall, oops sorry, I mean Connector)

^ Oh wow, my apologies then. I didn't realize that was an absolute initially. If I were Maahty, I would ask Millennium to make it up somehow. Do they think their very high winning bid gives them more breathing room to deviate without repercussions? Either do something big in keeping with the...
