^^^ This is coming out a little thinner than I first thought, especially once the scaffolding seen on the left from this perspective comes down.

Boston -- Soon to be Approaching: The outside of the Verizon Tower is "Substantially Completed" -- then we can kiss those two cranes good by

Great pictures! The glass looking dark blue at dawn is nice.

Those black and white ones are absolutely awesome. Makes me wish the two towers actually were those colors.

A Graham Gund redo of a previously gross building. The park is owned by the Archdiocese of Boston. In the heady days of redevelopment it was supposed to be the location for a workers' chapel, the architecture of which looked much like a subway head-house. No financing was available and so a bust of Richard Cardinal Cushing, the originator of the chapel idea, sits at the center of the park, which actually serves a lovely purpose as a respite in the city.

That little green roofed building is probably prime candidate for demo in the next 20 to 30 years. It's not architecturally signifigant in any way and is sitting on some pretty prime real estate, especially once all the other towers are up around it. I'll be shocked if it makes it to 2050.

I think it's becoming apparent from the Causeway and 93 shots that the treatment of the surfaces under the "bump-outs" and the roof is really going to make or break this thing from the ground level. If done without shortcuts, they could make for very attractive accents on this one.

I heard a somewhat credible rumor that the city building behind this on Hawkins st may be up for redevelopment at some point. Not too sure because I think the shelter may be attached to this parcel.
