It wasn't de-lit as of a couple weeks ago. Probably a temporary glitch?

WAIT! Only the beacon is lit. The floodlighting on the actual building has been off for some time now.
 
"What is that huge camera thing on top of the pole?"

It's a sensor to alert over-height trucks to exit before hitting the tunnel.

That picture is so diculous, it's ri-diculous.
 
Sticking with the theme of "blurry night pictures"..... KZ's is definitely cooler

Found the post office! It's on Clarendon next to the apartments entrance:

Looks decent when shrouded in darkness.

I like the stone and the crown lights nicely.
 
Someone posted this over at SkyscraperPage. I thought it was an interesting observation:

Thanks for sharing. I love streetscape threads!
The Clarendon immediately reminded me of a few very similar looking highrises in the Netherlands. Ironically, the Dutch versions have the same use- residential with amenities such as restaurants. In particular the similarity of the S-shaped, zigzagging brick pattern of The Clarendon and the Utrecht project City Campus Max (on which construction was completed a few months ago) stand out:

Makes me wonder if Ruhl Walker (the Clarendon's architect) was looking at these for inspiration.
 
Does anybody know the difference between "One Back Bay" and "The Clarendon"?

I know the Clarendon is condos and 1BB is rentals - but is there an actual difference or just two brands within one building?
 
Two brands within one building. The 1BB entrance is on Clarendon and The Clarendon entrance is on Stuart.
 
ours fails miserably...theirs succeeds?

IMO - this ^^ is backwards: theirs is an overbearing monstrosity; I can't find one redeeming quality about it. Ours just has some detail issues.
