Re: Mandarin Oriental

Mshteinie, please repost the original rendering (if that's what the pics were). I didn't live in Boston when this was first proposed so I never new there was a different proposal out there . . .

AmericanFolkLegend - My pic posts aren't working for some reason, but you can check out the photos I referred to at the following urls:

compare with actual product: http://www.cbtarchitects.com/architecture/hospitality/hotels/index.php?id=160

to clarify--it wasn't a different proposal--rather, it was the same proposal with different facade materials and detailing. small changes make a big difference imo

Re: Mandarin Oriental

Just curious,

Did the MO ever fill up the rest of its retail portion?
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

Gucci, Frette, L'espalier, Sel de la terre, a bank on the corner of Ring Road and a salon facing the interior of the Pru, along the new corridor. Am I missing anything?
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

Isn't the Lululemon part of the expanded area? And there's that hair salon.

Interior vacancies on the Newbury Arcade remain. It's become the latest gathering place for vagrants and au pairs.
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

^ Are au pairs like female vagrants?
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

They did once. But right when I got naked suddenly I was back in high school and everyone was laughing at me.
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

I've discovered why women don't participate on this forum.
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

Must be the lack of locker rooms.

I wonder what happen with Prada. They're were suppose to be the anchor of the arcade with a rather large epicenter. I also believe Balenciaga was suppose to join.
 
Re: Mandarin Oriental

I feel bad for vagrants. Vagrants have to hang out somewhere.
