Ok, I’m coming around to the 2 different facades. They are both looking pretty great. I like the double floor height patterns.

They've been building Seaport Square for so long now that you actually can see changing trends in the buildings. 101 Seaport has a look from its time, where this building is doing something much different (and much better IMO), but the effect is still a neighborhood that looks more organic.

Construction has been shut down at the site to conduct a safety review. Boston says they issued a Stop Work Order but Suffolk says they voluntarily stopped Construction.

Suffolk is the Congress St developer too? Feels like they've had a number of issues lately.

Hollywood Squares was what first came to mind. In a good way. And yes I know it’s not a 3x3 grid or squares at that.

Interesting design, are there other buildings recently that have these contrasting facades?

Brick panels are going up quick.

I like both elevations, and they are both worlds better than the standard glass curtain wall, especially brick elevation. But WHY do we need both, that joint is just so weird...

Remember that you won't see the metal facade from a distance - it will be blocked by the building next door.
