About time. We've been waiting for this one since 2015.
 
The design doesn't fit happily into this context, but a lot will depend on the glass color and reflectiveness. A muted tone that swallows light would help keep it from overpowering its neighbors. The problem is that instead of supplying texture, the building presents as choppy and rude.

I disagree that height would help with this unless the suggestion is taller and slimmer structures somewhere on either side to offset its peculiarity. A couple buildings around twice the height.
 
Has there been any leases announced, this seems gutsy without an tenant.
 
Skanska has self-funded in past downturns (e.g. 250 Second St in Cambridge). They have the benefit of having both leasing and construction organizations under one roof.
