This isn't a whole block though.

Yea why not make it 1 story taller on both ends and block off those blank walls on the adjacent buildings behind? I'm sure they could've put some decent 1 bedroom or studio apartments up there.

I like that blue a lot! Also, is there a thread for the huge developments across from this? It looks from the plan that at least 4 buildings are going over there, wondering what the timeline on those is.

So are they just going to leave the concrete core sticking up exposed partially above the two opposing sloped roofs? Why wouldn't they just make the screens a bit higher on both sides to cover the core? It looks odd and unfinished like this. I hate when there are these details not present in...

I can't tell from these distances, but will there be one more crane jump or is this it and the core is pretty much done?

That's a sassy stance if ever I've seen one!

I was responding to the comment before which was really referring to the overall design and its place in the skyline. I appreciate what it will have inside and at the ground level, if a bit tacky with the pink lighting in the render here, but for me, the uniqueness of this building's design...

I think how the top third finalizes will be what determines the success or failure of the finished product because that's where its uniqueness lies. The bottom 2/3 is really generic on 3 of the 4 sides.

I absolutely love this building too but it definitely needs to be taller and a bit thinner because it gets swallowed up by its surroundings and you don't notice it until you're like a block away! How iconic this would be if it was on the river too, like the way the BU stacked books building...

Instead, I'd gladly take one by North Station and one in Back Bay by One Dalton, both of which are allowed height-wise.

I agree. Why has there been no movement on 13? I was walking that area a couple weekends ago with a college friend and his daughters and they all were like, "What's with this massive opening in the road down to the highway??" It's that much more of an eyesore, along with the parcel across the...

And you felt the need to post this as your first comment in 7 years?? I guess we all prioritize in different ways...

This intersection is normally quite ok, and I travel through here several times per week as I live in Woburn, shop at the stores around there, and get on 93 north sometimes there. The intersections before it on Commerce Way are far worse, especially down by Market Basket. That one should've been...

Not to be a height fetishist, and I'm not, but if this tower was 100 feet taller then it would at least have made a significant impact on the skyline just for its size. As is, like many others have said, it's simply fine. With the completion of SST soon and nearby MT, this is really like a...

I think the ironically named Pleasant/Center Street (route 60) in Malden has to be one of the worst streets in the area. It is absolutely brutal.
