Tear down this garage immediately and put up the Chiafaro aquarium tower! That footprint is an insult to downtown.

55 India will be a great addition.

12 stories here is ridiculous. It should be 30-50.

Looks like an AI generated default Revit building.

You might be joking......but there is actually a program for that. LOL

O.M.G. Ten short years after its initial announcement, it's happening?

It's an embarrassment. It looks like a shopping mall parking garage in the suburbs of New Jersey

Does the floorplate look really tiny to anybody else or is it just me?

Yea it does come across as looking deceivingly small. I guess comparing it to the excavator in the background helps visualize the scale a bit. The building itself will be even smaller than the hole because the building has chamfered corners vs the hole where the corners come to a point.

Not sure if this is the latest presentation, but the plans call for buildout towards the greenway without a basement and then a cantilever. I marked out an estimate of the basement footprint in purple in the second image.

I’m excited this empty lot is getting fill in but I’ll never understand why we’re building 13 story buildings in downtown Boston. Wild if you ask me

Apparently people are sensitive to tall buildings abutting a park, but don’t tell that to Chicago with Millenium park and NYC with Central Park…

Not a lot of empty lots left in downtown anymore. Youve got the big one on the other side of the greenway in the north end, the large triangle parcel in the bulfinch triangle, the ones around the steam plant, the new one at govt center where the ugly lab would have went, the ones around the back side of north station, and a few small ones scattered around, but compared to just 10 years ago theres hardly any left. The ones along the pike in chinatown/south end was really the last large swath of empty lots on both sides and those are basically all filled in. Its pretty amazing to have an American city that has (almost) completely healed from urban renewal and highway ramming. Its definitely not finished and we could definitely use some more air rights projects, but weve come a loooooong way.
