Admittedly, I have no idea on the scope of the renovations nor do I really care how much BP wants to invest. I'm sure they did a roi cost analysis. It just seems that 43M per floor is an astronomical figure.

Yes, quite, I see now the error of my ways. You’re right. I’ll tell them how wrong they were the next time I’m in their office.

Last check, I'm entitled to state my opinions in this forum without personal attacks. Your snarky / condescending response is uncalled for. Anyway ... I'm done this with thread.

Looks cold and sterile, as if the design brief called for an airport lounge furnished by Ikea.

You're 100% right on that. The snarky retort post that someone wrote was unnecessary. What you wrote in that post was perfectly harmless, it didn't deserve the spitball thrown at it.

Three years after the Top of the Hub closed, View Boston takes its place - The Boston Globe

I'm quite sure that they'll have express elevators going up there to whisk & propel visitors there at dizzying speeds like the ones at the Freedom Tower in New York!!

Here's a few more pics pulled directly from that Globe article.

Is that some new wacky iteration of the Dock Square garage project we haven't seen before?
(And was it really that hard to building a more accurate city hall with any of the cantilevers...)

That's the residential that is going to be built on top of the garage.

The developer just defaulted, so I don't think that project is moving forward

Yeah I see that. But this looks larger? The scale of that in old renderings doesn't match this.

Will you be able to have a drink in the bar without paying the admission fee?

Doubtful. I think the Pru is going the same route as WTC in NYC.

Its the older version of the development
