Fire.glad to hear the good news. i never knew the the broadway market originally looked like this. Why did they take off the top of this building to begin with?
True. Generally, the Turnpike is fine. I've driven from NH to Baltimore via the NJTP three times in the last month. Typically, the trip is seven and a half to eight hours. Memorial Day is a special case, though. Seems like every vacationer in the northeast converges on that 100-mile stretch of highway around 5 pm that day. Game ends around 3:30; on the highway by 4; home god knows when. This year, I took a vacation day and gave the kids a day off from school and drove home Tuesday.Turnpike doesn't stop Yankees fans from coming down.
AWESOME!!! To Hell with the residential, Office is where it's at! This should solidify a high-quality architectural design that only an office building can demand.Ooh, Ooh, Ooh - Hot Off The Press - From this week's BBJ
PLANNED SKYSCRAPER BOOSTS OFFICE SPACE AFTER HOUSING SLOWS

The planned tower will be built on the former McCormick factory site.
The Philadelphia-based company developing the former McCormick spice factory in downtown Baltimore now hopes to carve out as much as 500,000 square feet of prime office space to land a signature corporate tenant in the proposed 59-story building at Light and Conway streets.
John Voneiff, director of southeast operations for ARC Wheeler LLC, said a softening in the residential market prompted his company to shave the planned residential units in the building to between 150 and 200, down from earlier plans for as many as 285 condominiums. He is now in talks with two major Baltimore-area companies, and has been contacted by a third considering becoming the building's signature tenant.
Those renderings are a bit of a departure from the existing tower at Canton Crossing. Wonder if Ed Hale can pull this off ... if he does, and if he lives to be as old as Paterakis, he could have his own city-within-a-city in the triangle bounded by Boston on the north, Clinton on the west, and I-95. Freakin' amazing.Lessard designed 414 Water Street [snip]
Naw. It will be because I lived there! Moi - owner of the worlds largest collection of Baltimore architectural photos! (30,000 and counting) :cheers:I like 414 Water St. It's a little bit unique. I bet 100 years from now preservations will be trying to preserve it as the last skyscraper built in Baltimore's "quirky era." It's not iconic, but in the long run, I bet it'll stand out more than when whatever we get for 10IH, 300EP, etc. are surpassed in height.
^^ Wow. Great find, Silver Springer. Those towers are faaaaantastic! I'm very excited about Canton Crossing now.
Also, if you go to the Lessard website and hit the Zoom button on the upper right hand corner of the picture, it'll zoom out and you can see the pedestal upon which the front two towers sit.
Yes, my dad told me the same thing. There was a fire in 1898 or something like that.Fire.
This is a very nice tower, but I don't think I would want to live on that side of town. I'm exclusively looking for somewhere to look with a "city" feel to it. I don't get that "city" feel for Canton Crossing. About a week ago, someone posted a picture of a building named Harbour's Edge. It had a suburban look to it. So does this building.
^^yeah, great find SS.kay: i've always thought that lessard's work (along with ksi) was highly underrated.

I never seen these pics before. They look kinda cool. (Edit: I just looked at the RWN Development site and saw that these renderings are one of the proposed architectural designs. I guess this is the one they liked.)
Couldn't remember if someone had posted these before of the RWN Development Group's planned (now on hold) condo towers.
