Worst Development Proposal Nominations

[George_Apley]

All members are encouraged to nominate an active proposal for a building site in the Boston area that is not yet under construction that they believe would make the built environment demonstrably worse than what is currently on the site or in the neighborhood.

Kenmore Square North (technically stated construction in 2019, but still)

EDIT: Forgot about something even worse in every way... Shreve, Crump & Low replacement, 334-364 Boylston.

Worse than current perhaps not but certainly no better: http://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/729-morrissey-(floor-decor)

real simple. The Embrace. the gaudy Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King memorial for the common. While I am all for the concept of a memorial and even the placement of it on the common, the winning design, chosen in 2019, is simply an eye sore that will only be used for selfie backdrops.
