50 Liberty @ Fan Pier | 50 Liberty Drive | Seaport

The ground floor looks like its finally going to give people a reason to go to the waterfront-besides the views in front of the court house.
 
This is a very clever design. Every side is shaped to give views of the water. Even the back is designed to still allow a view across the channel or harbor. 22 liberty was designed similarly but they took it even further here.
 
I posted this a while ago but for those who missed it heres the render with accurate models vs the placeholders that are usually shown. Hopefully this is what we are looking at for pier 4 as well as the parcel behind the ICA. We need more curves in the seaport and if this is whats going to be built Id be very happy with it. Its dated march 2016 and its on the official fan pier website.

This one is flying. Any idea if any groundwork for the building next door was done at the same time as this? I can't quite remember.
 
^ The foundation work here extends underneath the future "Liberty Drive" and right up to the basement of the future building next door.

This is visible in Google maps if you turn 3D view off.
 
Marble!! Facade is starting to go up - looks like real stone.

Galactic -- why not -- its about the same thickness as the glass in the window units

Cuz you make glass, and the marble would need to be cut from large hunks of natural marble. Those pieces to form panels that width and height are tougher to find than a bunch of sand to turn into glass. The thickness doesn't really make it easier to get a hold of, although you can get more panels when thinner.
