I watched the foundation go in and remember newspaper pictures of the twin building proposal. One garage was built under the entire block (both buildings) as I recall.

seriously hilarious!

To a large extent pictures are what make this board interesting, much better that whining and ranting. Keep on posting!

Stupidity, glorified and proudly displayed front and center, welcome to the 2020s...

This is a nice looking building, nothing daring, certainingly not jarring. It does not match the color of the JHT nor does it clash with with the colors of surrounding buildings. The Boston area could use plenty more buildings with this level of architecture and materials quality.

When I look at this building, that IMO is better than average and a net positive to Boston, it's the parking garage that grabs my attention as the real eyesore.

It looks great compared to the Kensington. Just another lost opportunity. When our corrupt, incompetent politicians go back to living on graft from greedy developers instead of trying to design buildings and the city itself, we might see some inspired innovation and grandeur. In 10 years...

Looking at the street covering designs for this project and Foundation Medicine, along with all the bridges/overpasses on Summer St, here and around the Seaport, I wonder if the net effect will result in a lot of potentially dark creepy spaces for pedestrians at street level. It would be cool to...

odds appear favorable. Confucius...

From right out front on Causeway St. this project looks pretty good in person, better than in pictures IMO. It really needs its windows washed.

My office is near here and it's been fun to watch this project progress. The seaport was beginning to have a really dynamic daytime restaurant and retail scene pre-covid and the addition of new buildings like this should help that take off again this summer. The two new buildings a block (450...

I wonder, in 5 years will it be a jolly old friend and a beloved part of the Boston landscape or reviled? It is uniquely ugly and comically out of proportion and sometimes that's enough for people to fall in love with a place and make it part of the local lore. Soon, when people get out again...

^^^A good visualization showing how different height buildings enhance the look of the city skyline and highlight its architecture. It's hard to understand how our planners and decision makers cannot put this simple, cost-effective concept into our urban planning and design.

Was the development of the curvy building in the lower left of this shot also suspended?

While there are some nice buildings in Kendal, the place is overthought and over-compromised by control freaks, inflexible academics, and political extremists. The result is a rigid, anemic realm with a failed skyline and boring, largely lifeless streetscape. Not a bad place but certainly one...

Agree that the federal and state governments do have lots of often negative impacts on cities. My opinion is local citizens and local leaders (I no longer live in Boston) have an opportunity now because of Boston's current economic strength to seize the day and achieve better architecture and...

If Boston had joined in city growth and development in the early 20th century like NYC, Philly and Chicago, there might have been more worthy buildings in Boston instead of so much outdated and dilapidated stock needing replacement by the time the 1950s arrived. No one will ever know what could...

I walk by once a week or so, and the site is always very busy. They appear to be working on the foundation only.

Saw the paver removal getting started.

No obvious major signs of construction as of Friday the 21st. I take trains to SS fairly regularly and I can't imagine how this won't have a major impact, especially during the foundation building stage. Planning is crucial to smooth transitions so it's probably best for them to start slowly...
