Anyone have any idea what the 'cultural' space will be for?

So the "dropoff terrace" and sloped walk rising to a deck both suggest to me that there's a "levee" (tidal barrier?) hidden along the east-west axis of this project, and I'm further speculating that this is a standard thing in the Seaport?

It’s been announced pretty late during construction elsewhere in Seaport, so doubt we’ll know for awhile. The space (if promises are kept) is written into the zoning and approvals, though. It’s one thing the neighborhood has advocated for and extracted successfully from developers in the past.

I don't understand what's going on between the building and the existing park. The building is higher than the park, right? So what is all of the boardwalk between them? Why trees? wouldn't it be better to blend the building landscape into the existing

It seems like it will be similar to the raised "boardwalk" that currently exists on the opposite side of the park. It's actually a really nice space where I sometimes go sit at lunch in the warmer months. It's always packed so the added seating will be used.

A few of the pages are now on BPDA. Note the cultural space is part of the first floor and all of the second floor.

Regarding the elevation oddities, the team mentioned at the meeting that they were hampered a bit by the existing garage and pilings, so that may have influenced the absolute height of the ground floor.

100% of the studies were better than the final result.

They need to render it in the depths of winter, instead of making it Miami Beach in summer.

The developer just pulled the erection permit on Friday. Looks like this one is going to start ASAP.

Basic question, is permitting disclosed on a public database in real time/close to real time? I see these posts and assume they’re from insiders but not sure
