Thank you for the front-page stories! Boston's in a slight lull right now as some projects wrap up and as others begin- so your focus is much appreciated!

Likewise. If completed I strongly feel it would become an icon for the city.

We have a contest. With the submission deadline passing at noon today, there are 6 entries from the Boston Redevelopment Authority's RFP for this site: Accordia Partners/SHoP: TransNational Group/CBT: Millennium Partners/Handel: Trinity/The Architectural Team: HYM/Elkus Manfredi...

Moving slowly but surely:

Thank you for the fantastic write-up!

The Boston Redevelopment Authority has put out an RFP on the site (currently a city-owned garage) that is underway. The RFP closes on April 21st. http://boston.curbed.com/2015/12/10/9892582/winthrop-square-boston An earlier request of interest netted some great proposals, many of which will...

We Bostonians are (mostly) thrilled about this one. The initial 2006 proposal for this site was a 29-floor mess of a building. The developer has since come back with this stunning 59-floor proposal catty corner from the nearly-complete Millennium Tower. Let's take a look: (Renderings via Adrian...

Basically finished- should be opening in a few months. A close-up look at the base: The tucked-away, curvier end:

Piling work is finishing up. I've heard that excavation has begun! This tower, which is rising at the end of several narrow streets, will be one heck of an exclamation mark for terminating vistas:

Glittering like a gem:

The developer also held an event several days ago to celebrate 100 Days til opening. They included several first-look photos of the interiors on their Facebook:

So, so close to completion. The final construction elevator is down. Poking above Beacon Hill: From Boston Common: No more elevators! A beautiful prism: Finishing touches on the base:

This project, located on air rights over Boston's South Station, has been approved for nearly 10 years. It appears the gears may finally be turning on it once again. Developer Hynes may be going back to the city to adjust the plans towards more residential space. They hope to break ground next...

Ramako, I just found a new rendering that shows the transition between the "pinstripes" that I described. Via Pei Cobb Freed:

I do worry about the gray spandrel, but that would only extend about a third of the way up the building- after that point, the pinstripes you see are actually bay windows. I feel it's in the developer's interest to not cheap out on materials. This building is being marketed as Boston's first...

Steel is going up for this development, which consists of 2 L-shaped towers on top of two separate podiums on one large lot. A pedestrian way will wend between the two podiums in the middle of the lot. Retail in the podiums includes a high-end cinema. One tower is already topped, while the...
