This would be an awesome route 128 building. It’s a nice building but there’s nothing urban about it. Which kind of annoys me, most of the other universities in the area build more urban buildings, while Harvard is mostly cloistered statement buildings. I do acknowledge that it was an empty lot...
I honestly like it. This would definitely be a standout complex in outer-borough NYC for example. The Verizon logo looks pretty boss on this building (and normally I think that logo is meh). It’s not perfect but it’s pretty damn good.
Design looks alright for your typical 5+1 wood boxes. Disappointing how dead the area is though. Seems like all the rest of the East Boston waterfront developments..
Basically it’s as simple as very few people play golf, and it takes up an inordinate amount of space. Case closed. Paragraphs of barely-decipherable excreta do not change that basic reality.
