Wow. Did not know this was happening.

What is the 2nd core for? It's a stairwell?

Double cores, three elevators total. The one closer to the water looks like the main resident use elevator, while the one away from the water was the larger structural core but only has a single elevator and stairs. Looks like service/BOH.

That one in Austin is hideous, IMO, but I really like this One Harbor Shore Drive development.

It's actually a supertall, 1031' in Austin of all places. That makes it the second Austin building to surpass the Hancock (first one was also hideous). The amazing thing is that Austin's skyline was about on par with Providence's at the turn of the century. They've gone absolutely bonkers down there, but much of it is ugly and/or monotonous.

I will take the brave stand and say that I really like this building, and that the main issue, as for everything in Seaport, is that it should be taller than it is to really fill out its proportions.

The ground levels are going to be all or mostly glass, which will house restaurant space and the cultural/non-profit space. Should have great light and killer views to the water. Filling in a hole on the waterfront is also good, and expanding/connecting the waterfront park there is also great. They are going to really struggle to sell these units, but that's less of an issue than just building the damn thing and generating some real revenue for the city.

Any idea what's going to fill all that cultural space, talk about prime real estate!!

I will note its a bigger cultural space than that particular floorplan depicts, since it also occupies the entire second floor.

Personally, a seaport library branch would be on my list of "should be considered" for the site.
