Become one of those places that has $19 avacado omelettes?
Good but also I'll miss the Midtown
It always felt like something accidentally built in the Back Bay instead of Burbank.
Not exactly a Hotel
I always thought it was much more of a Motel.
It also looks like a lot of dorms built around the same time at colleges across the country.
They want to put a building
They want to put a building on the building?
Whoa...
Yo dawg, I heard you like
Yo dawg, I heard you like buildings...
Not here ...
Here they're just tearing down a building. The Society for Putting Buildings on Top of Other Building is down the hall.
Hideous design, therefore I'm
Hideous design, therefore I'm sure it'll be approved.
Look at the development team
What would you expect? It's National Development and CBT Architects. National Development gave us Ink Block, and CBT Architects gave us the monstrosity across the street.
haah
Until they put buildings there too. The Christina Scientists know they are sitting on millions of dollars on valuable real estate. And they know this by already leasing much of their un-used office building to Northeastern.
It's only a matter of time.
Also, I'm probably in the minority but I like the design of this building. Its not uber modern looking nor look like something threw up.
I can very much see it fit into the street scape there. Far more than the single level 1950s bates motel that is there.
Dude!
The Christian Science Center Plaza is one of Boston's most beautiful concrete parks. It's kid friendly too in the summer. :)
South east side probably better views
No-ones going to build up St. Botolph St. anytime soon.
