The former Thunder Road condo building is nearing completion. The non-brick cladding is giving off a weird, shiny, aluminum siding vibe.

what is with that, albeit extremely nicely muraled, utility cabinet?!

I think it’s a transformer, but I’ll double check the next time I walk by it.

What a way to suck the life out of a first-floor! I'm curious as to why it had to be there instead of anywhere else - whatever it is.

A city councilor was pretty annoyed about it too, but unclear what the outcome was. https://x.com/BenForWard3/status/1789753717207531762

This building has many, many apparent issues.

Aside from the seeming bait and switched ground floor, take a look at the clearly crooked flooring on that upper balcony - - did a kindergarten child paste this one together? There is zero chance anyone would feel safe walking out on that. Hopefully that is merely a placeholder for the finished product. Also the top of the right side lighter corrugated facade looks crooked.

Somerville deserves some answers.
