Back on thread, I read The BCDC members went gaga over 150 Seaport Blvd., but I wonder what they thought of One Bromfield, and what comes next for this proposal?
They liked the tower & were concerned with the street level/podium and access. One Bromfield was technically an informal conversation at the last BCDC meeting. It was on the agenda, but had no motions, votes or procedures. They have to file the NPC and then go through the BRA approval process before the BCDC really will have any say. They didn't even have to motion to close because it was never officially opened.
Also, I felt like odurandina greatly exaggerated the BCDC responses in his/her bullet points for this past meeting, leaving out important context & other dialogue by just cherry-picking all the positive comments. I tried to fill in the gaps.
If the highest 111 Fed (or this presumably) can go is 735', what the hell was Tommy smoking when he was pushing a 1000' tower 10 years ago? Is the 735' a new revelation? Was the FAA not yet involved at that point? Had they not given their 2 cents to the conversation? If they were involved, then what exactly has changed?
The height of a building and its impact on the imaginary thing we call a "skyline" has absolutely no impact on the City of Boston. Period.
What does matter is why we build buildings and how we interact with them.
to have. In my opinion, 1 Bromfield is on it's way to fulfilling these goals.
Pardon if this issue has already been addressed here, but what will happen to the values of nearby condos in the Province St. tower and Millennium Tower when some of their views are going to be obliterated?
If there are attractive people living in the new tower, the value might actually go up. *wink wink nudge nudge
