The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

[FormFollowsBudget]

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.

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.

What could you even do with the backside of that place? The upper concourse could use expanding out, but you'd need to build out over the tracks.

Should be the new spot for gigantic whale murals like the old South End building you can't really see from the highway anymore

Gigantic train departure board to entice / mock all the motorists crawling over the Zakim

Just re skin it to match the rest of the complex, looks dated /dirty now
