I would add in the foreground - the ramps, street signs, patch of grass and parking lot are all downtown Wichita. There is no need to travel the world, for better or worse, you can see it all from this vantage point in Boston!

It has its moments, but for me it's a case where the surrounding crap drags it down and suffocates what few signs of life it has, and as a result it ends up blending in most of the time.

^^^ Those angles always blow me away when I (re)realize the size of the gap between WTC West and the Seaport Hotel.I guess it will help with Waterside's Harbor views. But, crimony, this area could be so much denser.

It's pretty nice, but the ground level sucks.

remarkable how much the weather makes a difference with this building. Sunny = she looks fine. Overcast = someone should check their underwear for stains.

I would like to hear thoughts on these pictures. The buildings clustered together does not look that bad. The problem right now is the Streetscape.

Makes me wonder if the architect was from a warmer/tropical region and has limited experience with New England climate. Waterside would probably look fine in Miami or San Diego.

Re: Waterside Place | 505 Congress Street | Seaport
TRO Jung Brannen is the architect. I assume this was designed by the Boston HQ office (their office is literally down the street from Waterside Place), but they also have Birmingham, AL and Sarasota, FL locations too. It's weird that they even did Waterside Place because TRO usually does incredible lab and healthcare projects.

Re: Waterside Place | 505 Congress Street | Seaport
I like the colors of this building, a nice change of pace for the Seaport, but, I'm undecided on the overall appearance. I think the architect tried to relieve the flatness of the large singular sides of the building with the gray panels, but, I think the sides are too large to overcome.
