I must have accidentally ended up on some rich person list, because I get lots of pings from guys slinging condos in car-branded Miami towers and now I am getting a lot of pings from this one. I think they have fully ramped up the marketing engine.
I am saying this hiding behind a wall and at a safe distance from Ab, but I don't like the way this building looks. It seems busy and the colors already look dated and it will not age well. Am I out of my mind?
The more I see this building go up between the design and the actual glass panels going up, it feels like a building designed and built 30 years ago that was put into storage and is being brought out and dusted off. Maybe because I have not seen it in person?
I know I am whining to the wrong people, but the chasm of open sky the demolition has opened up after decades of this hulking monstrosity makes me wonder about the hypocrisy of shadow laws for Boston Common or the Harbor Towers/Aquarium Garage nonsense.
How was this totally ok, but a 700-foot...
You don't "need" 2 concrete floors. My last apartment was a concrete foundation with 2 sub-levels of parking, a first/street level floor that was concrete and then 5 floors of wood above it. The first floor was where the amenities and the gym, etc. were, with big open spaces and high ceilings...
Calling that "570 Washington Street" sounds a lot better than "## West Side Highway". Interesting that one of the investors is Baupost, a massive Boston hedge fund.
