Cuz, that is what you do with a prime address with views that can never be lost, direct water access, directly next to the hottest cultural institution in the city.

Here's some more renders. Most of the interesting ones concern the Harborwalk and the "sea steps."

Using that tagline in reference to a Downtown site should be immediate grounds for the BRA to revoke a project's approval.

Are those the buoys showing where the ship sunk in the Blizzard of '78?
