South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

The second to last picture explains the massing. From that angle, it looks like it's a natural, vertical expression coming from the rail terminal. From a distance.... not so much.
 
.... They could've easily softened the edges to reflect the beautiful structure below, and give it a sense of congruity (since it can't be taller) ....

There are some similarities with the once proposed Copley Place tower. The glass, height, width, setbacks etc but the smooth angles are aesthetically more desirable.
