The PATCO line which runs through Center City and into New Jersey already runs 24 hours. With the BSL and MFL running 24 hours all three of Philly's subway lines will run nonstop!
I just wish we could expand the subway system and regional rail systems! SEPTA's system has so much potential. With the correct amount of funding SEPTA could be really great.
I hope this all night service turns out to be a huge success and they continue it year round.
Yeah, I knew about Patco already. I was talking about the whole system doing it.
Dunno if anyone posted this here yet, but Transbay Tower has gotten the green light after Salesforce.com agreed to lease 714,000 sq ft.
Quote:
Boston Properties, Inc. real estate investment trust, together with its
co-development partner Hines, announced
today that it has signed a lease with
salesforce.com for 714,000 square feet on
floors 1, 3-30 & 61 at the new Salesforce Tower,
the 1,400,000 square foot 61-story, LEED
Platinum pre-certified office building currently
under construction in San Francisco, CA. With
the execution of the lease, Boston Properties
and salesforce.com have agreed to rename the
building Salesforce Tower. In conjunction with
signing what is the largest office lease in San
Francisco’s history, Boston Properties has
committed to construct the building and
expects to complete the building in early 2017
for a projected total cost of approximately $1.1
billion...
Interesting. Microsoft is leasing 50,000 sq ft at the Bank of America bldg at 555 California. This brings their total occupied space in DT SF to approx. 120,000 sq ft.
Official projects that have actual legs in getting built (so no pipedreams, fantasies, or concepts).
Here, view these two cities as an example. Houston and Atlanta.
Every Houston project is on there more or less (thanks to Urbanizzer); from parks, to cultural institutions, to midrises (well more than half at least), to highrises, to even the spaceport. Everything except townhomes. Shortly the two international airports, West Point, Research Forest, Saint Honroe, Earth Quest, and a few Galveston projects will be added. Every Atlanta project is on there.
Someone else started on Miami but I've been slowly adding on to it.
I'm having a hard time with Washington, I'd like to make a map for it also but the problem is that because it's harder to get development addresses (when not a highrise), it's hard to put them on the map.

Love how I am seeing that a great many if not most of the development is in Downtown Houston. Definitely the hottest market of the city right now.
"Six jurisdictions, including the region’s biggest counties of Montgomery, Fairfax and Prince George’s, showed net declines in what demographers call domestic migration, or the influx of residents from elsewhere within the country. The six jurisdictions all registered population increases, but the gains were driven almost entirely by births instead of new residents moving in.
The District, however, stood out among its neighbors. It gained 13,000 residents over the year, driving the population to over 646,000, according to the census figures. That was more new residents than any other jurisdiction in the region. Loudoun County also gained population, almost as much as the District.
More significantly, births were not the only reason the District had population gains. Last year, as in each of the previous three years, the city got more than 6,000 newcomers from outside the District, and almost 3,000 from other countries.
Frey called the District the region’s demographic bright spot.
“While the region as a whole is attracting fewer migrants from the rest of the country and is reliant largely on immigration and fertility for growth,” he said, “the primary source of growth in the District is migration from the suburbs and beyond. D.C. continues to remain demographically healthy despite ups and downs in the rest of the region.”
"During the first quarter of this year 129 permits were issued in DC totaling an astounding 1,285 units of new housing construction. About 115 of these units (9 percent) were single-family. Annualized, it could mean DC might start construction on 5,140 units of housing in 2014!"
For anyone who like me is more interested in pictures of what's currently being built. Check out: Seattle Aerial Photography. This has some aerial pictures from a few a days ago. About half way through the sequence you can see around South Lake Union where the constructions projects are most dense and there can be 10 cranes in a frame.

I quoted you in the Alt v Denver v Seattle thread. Amazing photos, I need to get back to see the progress!
