3rd proposed design of this just published in the BBJ, looks like a big improvement. Behind a pay wall so can't provide link.
If it's in the BBJ it's usually in the public realm somewhere

Big improvement to the second piece. I liked the prior version of the main tower, but this is fine.
I'm not just saying this out of relief... This is stunning. I have never seen anything like this. There are now so many distinct features of this building, and they are all cohesive. This is iconic.
The Great Hall is great again!!!
This is certainly better than before, and probably "good enough for Boston," but suggesting that this is architecture worthy of compare to what's happening in the Hudson Yards is an ambitious overreach.
Speaking more practically, is that a garage door next to the Federal Street entrance?
