10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

Is there an anchor tenant for this building yet?

As awood91 noted, the brown trim and green undertones does give this building, at least to me, a retro late 70s/early 80s kind of feel. From certain perspectives, particularly from World Trade Center Av, the inverted pyramid nature of the building does give it an imposing presence. I think it views better from the ground level. I’ve resigned myself that the architecture will not be my cup of tea, but I’m excited for the public improvements. The intersection where the pedestrian path ends, like much of the Seaport, is very car-centric, so it will be interesting to see how it is integrated into the road design.

Looks pretty cool when the slope for the ped overpass lines up at the end of the street.

They were actually invented all the way back in 1979 and very popular in the 1980's and 1990's. As a kid during those 2 decades I am very familiar. While it's not a perfect fit there is definitely some resemblance to this building.

A juicy jewel of flavor, if you will.
