I know there was a lot of hoopla when they were designing the tower regarding the lobby but I wouldn't expect much from it nor would I want to go out of my way to visit/patronize it. I suppose if I worked locally I might feel different. In the end, it's just a lobby in an office tower.

they are bumping up the the cocoon wrap. It will be interesting to see the setback peaking up now.

Be still my beating heart, the aB forum has unanimous consensus. make note of it.

The setback in the final phase will provide a different dimension, which IMO will be a nice complement. We should relish this one. I believe there are no further high-rises in the planning stages, just a few mid-rises (~300').

Full disclosure, this was the corporate HQ for a major US business for decades, until it was demolished about 25 years ago.

A fair amount of street activity on a cold day ... nice to see that in the Chinatown / downtown area.

Those crane operators earn every penny, especially in the cold / windy winter months.

Agreed and I doubt we'll ever see the high-rise expansion that we've seen during the past 10 years or so, ever. There is such a glut of commercial real-estate with more vacancies coming as leases come to term that they will need to re-purpose existing building.

I was driving on RT 190 and noticed that most of the buildings on the North side of Saint Gobain's campus are actively being razed. The only article I found was...

How are buildings designed to merit the label of "Life-science"? Are these just office buildings with supplemental power and cooling to support lab space but they are tagged with the catch-phrase of life-science to increase the price-per-square-foot? Having said that, I think the design /...

Not my photo but thought is was a cool pic of the obscured Boston skyline

Apparently, you never had to commute through/to Everett.

I suppose if you live in Boston and the immediate suburbs then the Rev's in Everett will be very appealing. But for those living outside of 495, it's a non-starter. Getting to Everett sucks.
