...or at least less of a loser

Not sure I would want such ugliness to be so largely visible throughout the city. I would like it twice as tall with a different cladding. Trying to figure out a pattern and any semblance of cohesion to the ribbing makes my brain hurt.

These are the spots where a 1000'er needs to go ^^

I walked by this yesterday with some friends and everyone commented on how ugly and instantly old it looks. For me, it came out far worse than the renders. The coloring, the panels, all of it looks disjointed and uneven in all of the wrong ways.

I agree with almost everything here except that I DO feel this new glass reclad is exactly right for the Post Office Square location. In its old form it blended in with all of the brown/beige/other dirt-tones it is immediately surrounded by. Now in its blue glass it definitely lets its presence...

That garage demo just can't happen fast enough. I wish they could just block off the street for a few days and blow it up and clear away the rubble.

Oh yea sorry, I was actually thinking of the newer glass building next door to the Hilton, I'm not sure what it's called but I think it's a condo tower. That old Sheraton next door in that cluster is indeed also gross. I was actually thinking of the larger Copley Sheraton as a candidate for...

The Hilton next to 1 Dalton?? That was only built like 10 years ago! It's barely noticeable on the skyline and certainly not offensive. The Sheraton is drab and dated-looking and I would say a reskin would do wonders for it and the Back Bay skyline.

True, I hang out in Bay Village/South End every weekend and it really isn't that obvious from the street but those pics definitely show it from higher up, especially when driving in from the south on 93 north.

ugh what a sea of beige

Ok, style is subjective. My friends used to live right around the corner from here and I walked by this hundreds of times and always thought it was super ugly and extremely dated, like out of the '50s or something. For me it just hasn't aged well and doesn't look "timeless". But as others have...

I too am torn on this building. It is growing on me and part of me likes it, which I never would've said based on the renderings. I can handle the disconnection between the lower and upper parts and now I kinda like the outcroppings in the upper part and I definitely LOVE how the bottom came...

No, Home Depot was there too. Good Times was, I believe, where the Partners Healthcare building is to the left of the entrance, with Home Depot being on the right. I lived at the very beginning of Broadway next to The Mount Vernon restaurant back in the late 90s to early 00s and used to walk...

I live in Woburn, near the (almost completely dried-up) Aberjona Creek, which was the spilloff from the old tannery, which was actually off Washington St further up. That very large site is still half undeveloped (across from the exit from 95), where awhile ago there had been a car dealership (I...

That sounds promising but if they hold onto the property, as it sounds like they might, it will remain a sad and depressing wasteland, even if they do eventually get around to taking down the unused smokestacks. I'll at least keep my fingers crossed for their removal, if not the sale of the...

I'm confused... are you being sarcastic? Losing a Santander Bank with a big parking lot? Is that the something with character?? And you're complaining about the design of a housing project (which is generic but certainly not unattractive) that also contains a very needed little market on the...

It was called the Woburn Mall before. Now Woburn Village is the new name of the whole complex including the apartments/condos.

Believe me, I'm ALL about maximum height anywhere and everywhere it is possible. I just never imagined anything super tall in this CX location because it would seem extremely out of place in context of all that's around it. I would say that a 900+ft tower around North Station area would be fine...

I think Winthrop will be finished before this!

"The development is the architectural equivalent of this. It's nothing to be proud of, even if you like the park space. Sorry not sorry." Wow, somebody's got a flair for the dramatic!
