691 Mass Ave | South End

Re: 691 Mass Ave

Those box columns seem rather undersized.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

I've never been a future tenant of a u/c condo, but I imagine it must be weird to gaze at one and think "soon I'll be living in the bit of sky surrounded by that cage of damp steel".

Re: 691 Mass Ave

I wouldn't call that area 'Roxbury Crossing', though.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

It would have been fine before the South End effectively dropped their association with Roxbury.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

Those floors seem a bit on the short side.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

The final design better break up the facade into 5-7 vertical elements or the entire building will be too squat, too landscraper-ish. I know that was the original plan but I haven't seen an updated rendering in a while.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

It's so good to see this gap finally filled after so many years!
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

looks like they are starting to sell too! banners are up and there is a website, www.691residences.com
how do you think the market will react? this is kinda one of the few new condo building in Boston entering the market during the recession.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

I'm not crazy about it looking so flat, but then again, it sure beats an empty lot. I just hope they cover it with something decent.
 
Re: 691 Mass Ave

i think with the terracotta, it won't look as flat but textured
