I equate it to one of those horrific accidents you see on the highway where you can't help but slow down to look but are glad once you've passed it.

oh yeah ... it just blends in so nicely with the neighborhood (insert LOUD sarcasm). To each his own.

Its been about a year since my last visit to see a game and was very impressed on the transformation of this area. The Tabletalk factory is just about gone which gives the streetscape a clean, fresh new look. There are a few new buildings, still under construction, across from Madison st which...

The West end (does anyone really reference it as the West End anymore?) has a cool vibe now with all the recent development. The collection of new towers, with emphasis on the Causeway / Garden, is giving it a welcome identity compared to years past.

No, I believe that parcel is in the 300' zone imposed by the FAA. SST is literally right on the edge, according to this map anyway. from: https://www.massport.com/media/mplj0snm/bostonairspacemap_9-8.pdf

Agreed and appreciate this one. I don't see any new towers exceeding 500' on the horizon.

I'm betting on the north-south rail link.

Nice pic @JohnCostello I've warmed up to the remake. I wish they incorporated more accents to the façade. I did like that red accent on one corner of the building but its hardly noticable.

As we can now view the final rendition, I don't find this tower to be offensive in any way. It is just the opposite. I just find it to be boring, lacking distinguishing features and rather nondescript. It's already forgettable and just blends in with the skyline lacking any prominence. You can...

Mayor Memino would never approve. Underwhelmed is the operative word that best describes this tower. Its already forgettable and the crane hasn't found it way to the ground yet.

> Is the campus gated from the public? nope ... public can pretty much go anywhere. I have to admit, the campus is impressive, it looks more and more like Kendall square, not Worcester.

I'm impressed with the design, the renderings, and what we see so far but more importantly thrilled that this is actually happening. I would have bet and lost that this project would have been scrapped outright a few years ago.

I'm going to loan the City of Boston my power-washer to clean 60 years of filth from the JFK building. It's putrid.

I really like watching the progress now, especially the construction of the massive archway. Too bad there isn't a webcam to monitor this one.

I can take a picture from NH and it will be completely hidden, along with all of Boston.

>Otherwise, this ranks down there with 1 Internat'l What? 1 International Place ranks close to the top for me. Lots of distinguishing features and looks great from the harbor.

When mayor Menino initiated the RFP back about 10 years ago and we saw so many intriguing proposals (reference post #1647 in the link) I can't help but be disappointed that what we have is a rather uninspiring and practically a mirror image of MT. I don't want to sound overly critical but as...

There is no middle ground with this building, you either love it or hate it. I'm still in the latter.

from 6/10 ... not sure if the crane is back in action yet. I'm thinking not.

These closeups are getting a bit repetitive but what the hell ... just one small missing glass segment from this angle.
