I really wish those windows were bigger, especially on the tower portion of this project. I remember seeing earlier in the thread that even different colored casings would have made a visual difference. The windows, in my opinion, just look so tiny against the entire facade.

Get used to it. Energy Codes are going to push for facades that have less that 30% glazing. The punched window is going to come back in a huge way. Buy stock now.

Ps. There will be many other ... very expensive ways around that ...think triple glazing ... think double wall curtain wall.

cca, thanks for the response. Sounds like this is one of the MANY forces driving building design these days...

And as a relative "newbie" to this forum, I'm thrilled to be engaged in the conversation and share some of my personal opinions. Can't quite say I'm an expert in the construction/development field, but this site has been my daily spot for news, updates, pictures, and more. Thanks again!
 
Drove by this the other day. I may have to eat my words. It is a pretty solid feeling piece of work. I still wish the panels were half the size for scale purposes ... but all in all this has a real presence from 93/90 interchange.

The offset glass corner treatments really make it for me.
 
How is this going to interface with Albany Street, again? Is the sidewalk going to be flush with the elevation of the road? Will there be a concrete barrier to separate the sidewalk from the street?

I'd really love for this to start building some sort of street presence on Albany Street, maybe for that day 75 years in the future when we've either come to our senses and undone the damage of building highways through the hearts of our cities or actually found a developer to tackle the decking nightmare over this area of the Pike and adjoining ramps...

There will be a sidewalk that follows the elevation of Albany street, up to the terraced park that will flow up from Hudson to Albany at the South Station Connector Road (separating One Greenway Phase 1 and 2).

There is a small amount of retail space fronting on Albany.

Plan is for all of the DOT parcels along Kneeland to create street presence on Kneeland, the ramp street along the side (like Albany) and the South Station Connector Road.
 
I'm digging the height and mass of this building. It offers a nice step down from downtown and into the ink block area.
 
For a building that's opening "mid-2015" does anyone else find it strange that they haven't released any pricing or floor plans? Can't get info on this anywhere.

Their website says that leasing opens in April 2015. They are apparently holding out info until then.
 
Thank you for the great pics.

This turned out to be quite a handsome building.
 
This turned out better than all of the other full-luxury ones down the street. The big textures work quite well here.
 
Oof, it's been a while since I've been down here for bubble tea during my lunch break.

I don't think I'm bored yet with well-executed terracotta cladding. Seeing the glass curtain wall bump-out in the northeast corner of the building actually makes me really happy that this is predominantly terracotta.
 
Apparently they start leasing today. Just called to get more info and spoke to an absolutely useless Bozzuto rep. Still no pricing/floor plans
 
I really love ADD/Stantec. Just as I was starting to feel overwhelmed by too much earth tones I notice that the top floor(s) of both the low- and highrise portions will be covered with black panels, and all of the sudden the composition is tied together. They used the same trick with their 100 Pier 4 which IMO saves that one from being a washed out mess of white. Damn these people are good.
