I assume that billboard is not sticking around.

It does show up in some of the renders but Id have to imagine it will be taken down.

I wonder if they have to wait out a site lease term.

The billboard is new/relocated/resized. I don't see how they think it could be practical to block windows like that.

That last pic looks like 100 eyeballs staring at me. This building gives me the creeps. I am trying to like it but I just can't.

Very Blade Runner. It just needs to lean into covering itself with video billboards.

I like it a lot, I hope they can add one more building along herald st between this and the glass building. Theres a perfect spot right between them.

Anyone know what this ramp is from? Never noticed it before.

It used to be for a railroad spur when the Boston Herald newspaper operated at that location.

The latest photos legitimately gave me a slight headache while scrolling through them.

The Trypophobia Building.

I can see what they were trying to go for but there's just too much contrast between the panels.

Very strange looking mechanical. What could they be hiding under here???? Reminds me of a old nurses cap my mother wore, back in the day.

I like this a lot. Its different but looks good at the same time. +2 for the Boston slanty roof, I aint mad at us having our own "thing". Its much better than when brutalism was our thing..

The tunnel is an old railroad spur. Not sure of it's history
