It draws one's eyes away from the Pregnant Building, which used to dominate this part of the skyline, so for me at least its a big win.

Its OK. Biggest letdown is that they're not getting rid of the Hurley building entirely, just sprucing it up. At least we have another tower to look forward to, if this gets approved.

This is the best infill project since Hayward Place.

Best building in the Seaport so far. Just stunning.

I like the Verizon. Sure its squat and bulky but at least its interesting. Its not another glass box or generic stuff like the nearby Avalon.

I dont get the love for the Fed either. The tower looks like it was inspired by an old school laundry washboard. The base and plaza are typical streetscape-killing brutalist crap.

^Awesome pic!

I dont like Brutalism in general but I love the Christian Science Center. Its the exception that proves the rule.

What's wrong with my suggestion? The tower is ugly, the low rise portion sucks, and its bad urbanity with no streetwall.

A recladding will do. Maybe some dark, almost black glass to add variety to the area. The low rise portion has got to go. Build a new base around the tower that fronts the street. Win-Win-Win.

For a landscraper, its pretty nice.

^Yeah, that tower was awesome, and would have looked especially good from the Common. This and the Copley tower are big losses.

I liked the prior proposal. Too bad.

I think this tower is going to look great from many angles, especially walking out of South Station and seeing it rise above its neighbors.

That Pru rendering is hideous. The Pru as is is kinda of ugly but no one notices/cares because its such an icon.

Its an improvement overall I guess. Better streetscape, activity on the greenway. But, although I'm not one for "sculpture" buildings, I kind of liked this one. Its up there, but c'mon. Worse than the State Service Center? O'Neal building? TOTC?

Wow! That's throwing some bulk into the air. But I like it.

That building is massive and fat, but strangely in a good way. Its gonna have such a presence in the area.

Tear it down, build an 800' footer and name it the Scollay Square Tower. Sort of as a roundabout FU to urban renewal.

This is a great project.
