    Idyl Fenway | 60 Kilmarnock St | Fenway

    Taller than a 5 over 2. The disgraceful height in this quaint neighborhood! And the wasteful spend!

    Somernova Campus | Duck Village | Somerville

    A future MBTA stop? Maybe wishful thinking of "build it and they will cone", but I always love seeing the zeal of including features of future transit extension proposals in renderings. We'll see

    Cambridge Really Does Love 5 Over 1's 😁

    This is kind of an incomplete thought I'm still mulling over - but (please don't crucify me) - if developers are going to strongarm cities into never building anything more than the bare-minimum cost (when most of the units aren't sky-high in cost), does it at all help to at least encourage the...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Does the grade of Broadway allow for a street/median/shoulder-running LRT?

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    I don't recall how recently this has been proposed/crayon-ed, but just based on the high-density sections of South Boston and the South End, there's a crazy corridor for a light rail line along Broadway from City Point/Broadway @ P St, to Back Bay, making stops at L/Broadway, Dorchester...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    So I take away a lot from the article, but they also embed this article which truly relates to the article in engineering too: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/why-skyscrapers-are-so-short/. My main takeaway: we can build cut n cover much more cheaply and we know of economic and legal burdens...

    Marlborough Developments

    Interesting office to residential changeover in a burbs office park! https://www.bldup.com/posts/180-units-planned-for-marlborough-office-site?utm_source=BLDUP.com+Customer+List&utm_campaign=87c74e06bd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_06_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-87c74e06bd-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

    Stop and Shop Mixed Use | 1690 Revere Beach Parkway | Everett

    Also, I think that this would be the better place for this: the 104 rerouting not only helps the underserved communities of Everett and Chelsea, as well as the underserved Eastie-Chelsea-Everett corridor, but it's travel down the new 2nd St ROW next to this / 2nd on Vine / Anthem, along with the...

    Stop and Shop Mixed Use | 1690 Revere Beach Parkway | Everett

    I can't find this anywhere, but with there being another 2000+ residents between this, 2nd on Vine, and the hopeful Sky Everett right next to each other. And the new Chelsea/Everett buildings near Everett Street, and the other new buildings like Anthem and Pioneer, what retail and essential...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    This is a great step in the right direction for the LA Metro's huge Purple Line extension project, and they keep having success with securing funding and approvals for projects. There are a lot of sorely needed other projects proposed in LA, but to see a complete new subway tunnel project moving...

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    I was on a jog by here on Sunday and went by Lightview and it became a thought that perhaps Northeastern has the investment interest in these tall/dense residential projects between 20 and 30 stories and they don't seem to be slowing, with a growing enrollment and money coming in the door. Is...
