Also in the news this week, some good news for Apple. The Boston Redevelopment Authority has approved the building of a new Apple Store in Boston's Back Bay, right across the street from the Prudential Center.
They had concerns about the all-glass facade Apple wanted to build, and it's not clear if Apple has changed their ideas. Here are some older photo illustrations that Apple put together for the location.
Isn't this a great building?!? I hope they make it as-is.
Boston Business Journal Plans for Apple store on Boylston Street approved October 20, 2006
The Boston Redevelopment Authority board approved Thursday the building of a state-of-the-art, three-story retail Apple Computer Store at 815 Boylston St.
The new store will replace an existing two-story building, which houses Copy Cop store.
The new 21,350-square-foot Apple Store will have three floors of commercial retail space. The store's architectural elements will reference the general character and scale of the surrounding buildings and will incorporate a green roof and an enclosed mechanical penthouse. The project will also provide for sidewalk improvements along Boylston Street.
Once a construction begins, it's expected to be completed in one year, according to the BRA.
