Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
I was studying it yesterday. I like Roman brick. But it would be so much better if precast brick panels were cast so that they interlocked in a naturalistic way rather than just pasted on with inappropriate joint lines.

I take back my earlier statement. I just took a look at the full-sized original version of BeeLine's photo. The joints are terribly distracting in both their size and placement.
Not quite as bad as the new Fiterman Hall (ArchBoston thread here)- but truly another example of what happens when the approach is to merely invoke something, without putting forth the effort to do it properly.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
Those seams look like crap -- totally mismatched bricks on either side. The brick portion of this facade makes up such a small fraction of the total exterior and they still couldn't even be bothered to do a decent job with it.
Of course it could be worse. One only has to walk a block down Washington to the Kensington site to see that.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
I am very curious to see how these sales go. If you are going to pay over a million for a condo in that part of town, why not live next door at the Ritz and enjoy all the amenities that property has to offer from the best health club in town to room service from the hotel restaurant etc? I can see the lower priced condos selling but have serious doubts about the ones over a million.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
I'm sure there is a plenty of demand for units, but perhaps not "these" units.
Better than half a $mil for what sounds like a studio???? No thank you. Plus condo fees.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
Located near the intersection of Beacon Hill and the Financial District, 45 Province, with 137 residential units, was completed in 2009 at the bottom of the economic
downturn.
According to sales director Wayne Lopez, “45 Province is now 58 percent sold including closed and under-contract units.”
Lopez said 45 Province recently closed on two units at more than $1,000 per square foot.
Unit 2201 sold this week for $1,875,000 at $1,244 per square foot and Unit 2701 sold for $2.2 million at a $1,460 price per square foot. The average price per square
foot, year to date, prior to those two closings was $816.

This is from June, so I don't know where it is now, but promising numbers.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
If there are fewer amenities at MP3, than there are probably also lower condo fees. Some of these full-service buildings have absurd condo fees.
But I get your point. And if you can afford $1M condo you probably can afford an extra $800 per month or whatever in fees.

+1 I'm amazed how big a difference MP3 made in this regard.

Brickwork worthy of an Arby's in Plano, TX.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
Walking around DTX today and took a look for the first time in a while. As others have said, the sense of enclosure is incredible here. It's now like very few places in the city in that regard, especially now that the shadows are lengthening and more of the day down there is spent in darkness.
I have come to love the massing of this project, and I wish it were a bit taller. The brick can go, though.
How many stories until this tops out, anyways?

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place
It's at about half of its final height right now. So it won't be terribly tall, but I think it'll just barely pass as a tower rather than a stumpy mid-rise building... barely.
