These developments all look identical. No matter whether they're in the city or suburbs, they're the same height, same design, same color palette. I don't know what the height limits here are but being as UMass Boston's new-ish dorms are taller than this, I'd say this is ridiculously small.

I was thinking the signage actually helps break up the fatness a bit too and hopefully will do the same on the taller north facing side. The horizontal lettering draws the eyes away from the swoopiness and white vertical lines which kinda tricks the eye into thinking it's a bit taller, giving...

I seriously doubt they would put lab space there- it is totally out of place and context. But the Viola is certainly viable as hotel/condo/office/retail still. It could be all 4 at its current design and would do just fine. It doesn't need to, nor should it be, super high-end like 4 Seasons or...

Where? I don't see it.

Yes, that angle with the light/shadows on the scallops actually looks good! Too bad it doesn't look like that from every angle all of the time!

This corner ^ doesn't seem to be making progress at all. They haven't even started construction of the bump-outs to fill in those 2 indented corners. I think entire buildings in the Seaport have finished in the amount of time it's taken them to reskin 75% of an existing building. And half of it...

Yea that is a great idea! There has to be away to arrange the multitude of antennae around the big central one in such a pyramid design, spacing them evenly and even adding fake ones to balance out the design if need be. With some multicolor LED lighting at night, that would be incredible and...

Are there any renders of how these towers will look from the above angles, looking down Mass Ave/ across the Charles? I wonder how tall they will look from the side profile.

Two words- public transportation. My best friend lives down the street from here in Beachmont and he doesn't own a car for that reason. This neighborhood is being built around the idea that people working there will either live in or around there or rely on buses and/or the T to get in and out...

Agree with all of you guys. I was just lamenting what it could've been aesthetically and impactfully (is that a word?) and not acknowledging the benefits to the Greenway and other aspects it could bring, hopefully. I must've misread the info from earlier on because I too thought the max FAA was...

The more I see how this is coming together, the more I'm convinced that this should've been 75-100' taller. I realize the FAA constraints but this is not pushed all the way up to its very maximum allowable/doable (with FAA approval) height and that is a detriment of what should be one of...

These views make me long for the potential MotorMart Garage Tower... taller and much more attractive than the thing that went up across the street from it.

Oooooh a diving board!! I wonder when the little pool below will be installed!

What a great angle/shot this last photo is! Once Raffles, One Congress, and if it were stretched a little more to the right, Winthrop Square, are complete, this could be my favorite skyline angle showing all of the tallest buildings.

Ahh ok thanks! Was wondering why I couldn't find anything on it.

What is that development under construction across the street from this?

I sure as hell hope so too! They're really going to look like weird sinkholes along Boylston once this parcel 12 is finished!

As good as that is for the protection of the area around the harbor, it still stings to think that friggin ugly ass garage in such a highly visible, high foot traffic area has to remain for who knows how many more years. Ugh. I mean, no one wants the seawall to deteriorate and the city to...

Oh yea the NikeTown building. I actually thought that was just a remodel of the old building, but that makes sense.

Is this the first completely ground-up new building to be built on Newbury Street in most of our lifetimes? I can't recall any in my 40ish years.
