The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

[whighlander]

He just really wanted to patronizingly explain a French-origin term that 100% of the people on this board are already familiar with.

Apparently Not!

The relevance is that there are now and have always been people who want a place in the city just as they may want a place on the beach, in the mountains, etc.

For those people -- we build Millennium Tower and 1 Dalton

For the rest we build things like The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End anbd other smaller-scale and somewhat cheaper

everybody else == well they get hand-me-downs

This thing is moving.

Well, this is starting to take off. It looks like 7 floors including the lobby level.

Cant wait to see all of the new sightlines this thing rises into. North station tower can be seen from Watertown and 1 Dalton can be seen from Milton... things you dont get from renders. What the renders do seem to show is that this will be taller than north station tower... I hope so.

not much fanfare for this project.....
while more than a dozen turds get endless representation.

Wait for it to pop into skyline views and it will be plenty well represented, probably by April.

DZH -- so far only the top of the Crane is visible from the MOS 6th floor

I think that in the next few weeks the core might become visible

Anyone sounding the alarm?
This is how fast 45 Worthington would have shot up, Pilgrim.

Its about time something goes up faster than expected for once... although the thread started in 2010 and who knows if its really going up faster but it feels like it.

Only bunch of people that would see it totally reasonable to follow concrete contractors on FB.

The official renders are up on the site. Similar to the old ones, but zoomed out so you can see everything now, like the base and roof.

I forget. Is the garage under ground replacing all the spots that were in the original garage that was on the lot?

If so this is a bad promotional pic for the building.

Giant parking garage and a pencil tower that is more service core than anything else. That's rather sad.

It's a TERRIBLE promotional pic. Did they use a view from 2012?????? Many prominent buildings that exist today (the two Hub towers) are missing or are completely different looking (Avalon).

They could have simply done a render of the Alcott in downtown anywhere.

maybe that was deliberate, so the new towers would stand out and not be clustered with what's currently being built.
