Brookline Place | Boston Children's Hospital | Brookline

This seems a little like a pretty good building from 1987
 
^ There are certain elements of it that remind me of the State Transportation Building, built right around that time.
 
Punched windows without any articulation add weight with none of the gravitas. All the misalignment and Bolling Building curves can't save it from looking like the old Malden City Hall.

"Welcome to the Brookline Commercial Architecture Museum. On the left you will find a fine example of post-dot com era Kendall Square elegance. On the right, you find a mid-80's brown-glass-on-brick specimen, seen in such glorious places, such as the Lotus Software building and far-off, exotic locales, like Burlington and Waltham."
 
This looks high quality. What is the street address of this project?
 
Between this, the hotel across the street, and the eventual development of the rest of the Emerald Island parcels heading towards Brookline Ice and Coal, this area will look very different in a few years
 
Are there actual plans for these parcels?

Not sure of specific plans but an employee of the dog place said that once the hotel is finished they expect to be moving. The owner/developer of the hotel also owns their build and has given them a heads-up.
