Hopefully this is the last blue glass building we get in downtown/peninsular boston. We went from only having a few, to having a bunch, and I think were good now. We have the right ratio now imo. Now lets get a lil bit of that sweet sweet nyc RAMSA and some other materials/colors going fwd pls, thanks.

I am hopeful that this angle will be the best one for this building. It has the urban context, with the greenway in the background. The greenway side is stuck with the floor to ceiling glass because the view is a selling point for the units.

I hope so too. This back, city-facing side will be brick and stone to match the surrounding area. High-quality brickwork will go a long way in defining this building.

……move the camera person just a bit to the right, because that massive concrete parking garage on the groundlevel left background doesn’t scream “urbanity”. (….or maybe it does in the Kansas City sense :D )

It matches the heights of the adjacent buildings really well. At least its not a squat two-story hovel like the North End Piazza.

It also works with the view corridors, effortlessly tying together the various adjacent buildings in each direction. This is really well designed. Not everything needs to be a tower, and I think this is the right height for the location.
 
I saw that post on Reddit and loved it. We love to gripe about things we have - the T being one of the biggies - but when considering what we have versus other cities we are still pretty great. People still ask me if I regret moving back to Boston from Nashville and the instant answer is "not at all".
