When are the new buildings going up?

Do you mean the squat blobs that will partially obscure the best vantagepoint of State Street? Hopefully never, ever.

There is still another high rise residential that has to go up too.

I totally agree. I hope they never happen. This is an iconic location, and Boston has lately had a couple of really bad designs put up at key locations, and cannot afford another.

Whoever is responsible for approving that lab should be executed in public.

Careful, I got banned from Reddit for saying essentially the same thing.

getting banned from Reddit is a low-key gift.

I don't think the lab was approved, in fact I think it's been cancelled from I remember reading here.

As far as I know there is still a 300' residential tower to be constructed on the west side of Congress in the garage footprint. Before building that they wanted to move ahead with an ugly lab building on the parcel east of Congress. Since that's stalled, I wish they would start on Residential II. It makes sense to put the brakes on a lab project on expensive real estate at this point, but by the time Residential II is complete there should be demand. I would guess the units would be cheaper than anything at South Station.
