The origin of this thread goes back to 2006 and I would have bet that this tower would never have been built just a few short years ago given all the hurdles. I think we're fortunate that we can watch this one go up considering that there is a trend now to significantly scale back with office...

Very quiet thread considering this is most intriguing tower under construction. (imo)

Lovely building but no streetscape.

I was about to write that this project / renovation is so completely blah, lackluster, and then I see the night pic. Ok .,. so *that* is pretty cool.

What is striking in those preceding pics is the mass of people on Main St. Of course, that was before urban sprawl and malls. Today, downtown Worcester is void of people with the possible exception of restaurant activity around Franklin and Front streets.

the filth on that car in the tunnel ... love it. great pic.

South Station could really use a power-wash (says captain obvious)

I don't have enough time to hunt for this but I would be curious to see a side-by-side comparison of the exterior of the top floors (before and after) now that this project is wrapping up.

What was the cost of this again? 200M? and they build an observation deck which is (yawn) something I wouldn't even considering doing. The old top of the hub was actually fun from time to time. I don't see the ROI for this.

This pic was taken early today and doesn't really do it any justice. The bold architecture of the new terminal is so unlike anything at Logan, and maybe most US airports. It's amazing to see up close and personal. Admittedly, the interior design may lack some of the zeal compared to the physical...

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.
