The metal panels on the lower floor balconies were placeholders until the glass was installed. All balconies now have glass.
Actually, the lower balconies will have aviation wire instead of glass, better than solid metal panels I guess but why?

Thankfully, you are right and I was wrong about this. Just noticed the wire that has replaced the metal panels this past weekend.
This is a minor detail that most people would not notice nor care, but I thought that there was supposedly some effort to make the street lamps in Seaport more consistent and uniform (and classy) like the examples below. The ones that they put up next to Pier 4 look... flimsy

Soo.. is this close enough to being done that we can have a final verdict on this place or shall we wait until the Harbor Walk area is completed and the sea steps are accessible?
I believe closings have begun for the residences in the building; however, the retail and landscaping are still underway. But an unfinished product never stopped anyone on this forum from declaring a critique or 'verdict' on a building.
FWIW, I love it.
Oh yes, closings have definitely been underway. The restaurant that will be facing the harbor side is already known, but I don't have a sense of the planned timeline. I think plans for the rest of the retail space are up in the air.
I still think it turned (turning?) out quite well overall. Whatever green space it will have will be tiny though.
Not just closings: this thing is occupied. Unfortunately only some of the Harbor Walk was open on Sunday.
I thought this was the render at first glance! NICE.
I thought the same thing...beautiful shot! The materials look fantastic.
