So the program designers and renderers can use different colors and shades for buildings but not people? I would say representation of the diversity of people is far more important than clothing fashions lol. I'm not going to belabor the point, but as someone who is partially responsible for DEI...

It's very clear the lens some people look through in their lives. I guess it's just upbringing, experiences, possibly general disinterest in those around them. This is a major transportation center and for SURE the people using this station over the next few years will look far more diverse than...

My guess is they have about 6 floors left to pour then mechanicals on top.

I know, I've noticed that as well. They only seem to put people of color in renderings of buildings in Roxbury or something. Pretty clueless for 2022.

The existing garage casts an even wider shadow across that portion of the Greenway right now.

Reading the posts about the Buckminster Hotel conversion has me wondering about the Citizen's Bank parcel across the street for the "stalagmite" tower, as one of the other posters here referred to it. Anyone know if that's moving forward and if so when?

According to the renders, the very top should end up being right around the bottom of the cab of the crane.

Ok, so it's certainly not going to win any awards, but all it really needs to not be the awful eyesore some are making out to be, is a change in color from this brassy bronzy ugliness. If this received a grayscale treatment, it would simply exist and the eyes would immediately go to the State...

According to info here on the Viola, it will be getting started this year I think. Once that gets underway, I'm confident that the parcels across the street from it next to Kings garage and behind Berklee College will get moving too. Those are the ones that I'm really keeping my fingers crossed...

Sorry but the render looks MUCH higher quality. The scalloping/ribbing and glass look busy but the focus is more on that than the glass whereas it's the reverse in the actual build. It looks cheaper and nowhere near as modern now.

...or "cold brutal mess"

Possibly, or at least a design award if done properly. It's just as much about aesthetics (both on its own and in context of its surroundings) as well as street-level design and I agree that something 800+ feet here would look very aesthetically pleasing. I think another one in the 1 Dalton/Pru...

It definitely does seem like they've been stuck at this point in the middle of bottom-up and top-down forever now, or at least since the summer.

This is how 99% of interactions on social media and other platforms goes now, for at least the last 5 years. It's exhausting how there are ALWAYS people who need to jump down others' throats for every single damn comment! So few people know how to communicate and have back-and-forths, in text...

Why are we bumping this thread 3 months later with a response and no updated information?

I remember that, though I thought that was just one parcel of that area. Perhaps it didn't make enough fiscal sense to do it back then but there certainly seems to be a case for these parcels now and over the next 10 years or so.

If they would just deck the Pike here between Berklee, Clarendon, and Dartmouth to Back Bay Station, they could knit this neighborhood together and open up opportunities for more towers. There's so much opportunity here every time I walk over the bridge from the South End to Club Cafe I look at...

With how fast the other parts of this building went, I would've thought this thing would be wrapping up by now.

True but there are some notable standouts (such as this will be) from Logan, so for visitors first arriving it definitely adds to the cityscape and kinda visually lengthens the city east-west.

There's no way this is supposed to look like this in its final form. The stone is in awful condition throughout!
