This is a lot surrounding an MBTA vent shaft. Previous versions of this proposal have been controversial because they were much larger and involved substantial digging under neighbors' properties. I don't understand why they want to name it after a famous building in NYC, which it does not resemble.

I'd call it "edge of Davis Square", not "heart of".
 
^the company is called dakota partners, so they are naming it after themselves
