Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)
I don't see why the base won't eventually be filled with retail. Again, for the bazillonth time I'll reference 101 Arch St, which forms a very successful street wall along Summer St. I can see no reason the same thing can't happen here. If you build a giant lawn/plaza however...

We know there's an office/hotel lobby called "Town Square."
Maybe a Starbucks.
Here's one trial balloon from earlier this year...
15,000 sf of first floor space for Boston Society of Architects retail space, public space and multimedia space, 15,000 sf for BSA office, museum.
http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/stories/2010/02/15/daily50.html
That's a substantial amount of space on the 1st floor.
Has anyone see any floorplans or other descriptions of street level interactions along Congress and Atlantic? Is FP Channel side heavily landscaped with raised berms to support hotel like the Intercontinental, or better?

It also appears the Atlantic Ave frontage won't be one ginormous curb cut which gives it instant points over the Intercontinental.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)
At one point I thought they tossed around the idea of a jazz club/bar at this location. Sounds like that is no longer on the table. Shame too because that area of town desperately needs some evening entertainment to keep things lively when the sun goes down.

Yeah, and the Financial District plus South Station is full of white collar professionals looking for a swanky bar to listen to some tunes, drink scotch, and generally pretend they live in the world of Mad Men.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)
It appears to be the window-washing crane. Given that the crane needs to be secured into the building, it has to be long in order to get over the raised sides. In fact, if you look about two floors from the top of the building, directly down from the crane, you'll see the platform.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)
Got Harassed by the police this morning.
ha ha so this morning.
I am walking to work. I take my camera out of my bag. A Federal Reserve Bank Police Officer looks at me and sees that I am taking out my camera.
He says. Can I help you ? I say Defensive tone. "No can I help you" So I start to point my camera across the street to photograph the new Russia Wharf / Atlantic Wharf project.
He says. "Don't even take pictures of the Federal Reserve Building" So I tell him. Um was my camera even pointing to your building ?
He says "No" so then I said Don't worry about it then man"
So he proceeds to say. I just don't want you to take pics of the Federal Reserve Building"
I proceeded to tell him. Don't worry about it pal. then I told him to F himself.
Ha Ha Ha.
I would not have said that to a regular cop believe me. But this guy was a straight up jerk.
So he says in a sarcastic tone have a good day sir. then he and his partner were talking about me as I was walking away - Great Start to my day............
