is that the tower going vertical or the bus terminal (or whatever its called)?
Bus Terminal
Maybe they're nervous about the public seeing depictions of the glass tower dwarfing the historic South Station facade? Afraid of blowback against the tower?Also - Is it me or has anyone seen a project of this size have such a minimal amount of renderings. For the tower, there are less than 5. Would they still be considering changes? Pulling a Winthrop, last minute? Why else would the marketing be almost non-existent?

the renders - albeit few in number - have already been in the globe and on the news. it's gonna be hard for anyone at this point to pull a "whaaaaaa? this is unacceptable!" and get any type of traction.Aren't they past that part of it mattering what the public thinks? I'm asking for serious, would that really matter now?
i'd welcome a redesign (that didn't chop the height at all) that included a spire
Just wishful thinking on my part, driven by my dislike of the tower designAren't they past that part of it mattering what the public thinks? I'm asking for serious, would that really matter now?
I get that they're working over an active train yard, but isn't this taking forever?
I believe right over that fence, east side of the tracks, they are doing foundation work for the tower.

It's kind of a funny movie in a very dark way, but "Don't Look Up" has a very short scene here at South Station. It's streaming on Netflix now. I recognized a few other locations like the old Manulife Building in the Seaport, the MFA, and several other downtown locations that filled in for New York City. Boston was actually never mentioned. It was supposed to be New York City and Michigan.
