Spent much time in Boston lately, and by that I mean sometime since 1960? Remarkably ordinary is pretty damn good by our standards for the past, oh, half century or so of highrise architecture. "Remarkably ordinary" is not just one, but a few notches above what's recently gone up just next door here (the Kensington). Have you seen the offal we're puking up in the Seaport?
Frankly, if it weren't for what's happening around Fenway now, I wouldn't necessary believe Boston capable of anything beyond "remarkably ordinary" highrise infill architecture. Take it from someone in a city where at any given time there are about 50 remarkably ordinary residential infills sprouting up - AvalonBay Tower could be so, so much worse.
