I think you mean BC. Without judging whether this is the right design choice, the style is derived from the existing home on the site.

It wasn’t Hines. It was Vornado which held the controlling interest in the Filene’s project after making a deal with Gale (now BGI), John Hynes’ company.

I encourage anyone who has not seen it in person to do so. You may not love it, and you may even hate it, but the derision it has received based on terrible photographs spread through social media, necessarily rendering a sculptural object that can only be appreciated in three dimensions into a...

And this discussion has what to do with One Congress?

Ideally the building to the East of Parcel G would be angled back to expand the Fan Pier Park in order to provide a more integrated flow into Seaport Common. If need be, lost square footage could be added to the top of the building since the height is not maximized on that parcel. Different...

Can we all see it completed in person before coming to any conclusions? This is too important a project to dismiss based upon a few photographs of a partially completed project or to deride with penis jokes. I was actually encouraged by the photos posted by Dr. Rosen Rosen above.

BBJ is reporting that this project is on hold. The developer provided the news to a committee of residents late last month:

From a couple of weeks ago.

To answer some questions from earlier in the thread, it appears that there will be an entrance to the new concourse on the Summer Street side. And that the arch will be visible and the entry point on the Summer Street side based on this rendering, which appears to be looking out the arch onto...

The project will include a new bistro and a cocktail lounge according to the BBJ:

From the Globe:

You are mixing up your Hy(i)neses. Hines founded by Gerald Hines out of Houston, Texas is the developer of South Station Tower. Boston Global Investors, led by John Hynes III out of Boston was the original developer of Seaport Square and is currently developing 10 World Trade Center.

Agreed. The announcement that they were dropping this building to provide an expanded park to enhance the public realm was total bull. This building was all about providing public amenities (a Fallen Heroes museum to complement the Memorial) and rooftop park/open space, and would have cost the...

Construction is about to commence with the demolition phase of the project according to BLDUP.

This is going to be a "mixed-use life sciences project" according to the BBJ article. I wouldn't be surprised if the tower is cut down substantially and the massing totally reconfigured in a manner that is more conducive to laboratory use. I hope not, but we'll have to wait for the filing with...

Frederick Douglass Plaza in Roxbury received an allocation of $550,000 in capital funds from the City last year. Sasaki is designing the site, which will include a newly commissioned statue honoring Frederick Douglass. This looks like a great project.

I haven't seen anything that shows what is going to be built on Parcel D. Does anyone have a recent rendering?

The Copley Square redesign has been revised and updated and, in my opinion, improved. See the design update here, a short video here, and the City's project page here. I really like that they are keeping the existing fountain, but enhancing it. I was skeptical before, but now think this will...

The building hasn't been designed yet. If you read the NPC, they haven't even selected architects for this or the other NPC parcels yet. The renderings are simply illustrative to give a sense of massing.

The building is now fully leased:
