Haverhill Street still exists. It's between The Avenir Apartments and The Victor.

But none of those old buildings exist. Darn. We’ve come full circle.

So, it looks like the awning on the Verizon building is staying put, but they finished the underside with lighting?

The lack of finishes and lack of it in any renders still suggests it's temporary. I imagine the lighting that's reflecting on it is the facade lighting below.

This end of Causeway has some work to do (hopefully with facadectomies on some of the right side of that pic).

Yea the awning is definitely temporary.

Still trying to appreciate the cubic carbuncles on the Verizon tower. I can't wrap my aesthetic brain around them. Maybe they'll be used for a good purpose and not just to reward upper management types.

It should've been more like this (sans cubic carbuncles), plus a bit taller:

Someone told the architecture intern that flat is boring.

Na, it’s so things that fall from construction site don’t kill pedestrians.

Guess it’s a matter of taste, but I think taking off the bump outs completely ruins the appeal of this building.

Got that Blade Runner 2049 vibe going on there.

The three ( fill in the blank) ,now the garden needs to be updated

Honestly, given that the majority of people viewing that wall are driving around a hairpin turn (assuming their vehicle is moving), bland is probably best.

Having the three towers with the same style and cladding (if done right) would have been interesting.
