I was pondering this too, especially because the two trees aren't even symmetrical with the building. My best theory is that it's to do with underground infrastructure for Arlington station closer to the intersection, as a general rule you can't plant a tree on top of any utility and the MBTA also prefers no trees over tunnels where possible.
I'm not a fan of the building given it's prominent location and demo of the older buildings, but will concede that at least while walking next to it on the sidewalk it's better than an expanse of mirrored glass
Is there really a need to be rude? I’ve never been treated like that before on this site I just asked a question no one said I liked it myself chill out my guy not that serious
The way you stated your question - "You guys still hate this project? Lol" - could be taken as mocking those who don't like the building.
Even got themselves a job at RAMSA...
432 Park Ave doesn't have the horrible wraparound corner windows.
I always thought the same. Fortunately, ours doesn't dominate the skyline.
It's less horrible than I thought it would be. Materials looks decent, it's like a nicer version of office park design. Allowing the original building to be demolished is something that should be punished by death to whomever was responsible, but this looks less intolerable than the plans made it seem
agree, the wraparound windows are a particularly bad feature of this building
