That makes two cranes coming down over this weekend. One of Tech Square's two tower cranes is also coming down.

I heard a rumor that Einstein's will go back into it's original spot. I hope that is true. Too bad Joe's is gone tho.

The towers look fine but jesus the way this addresses Juniper is an absolute crime against pedestrians.

I completely agree. Great towers, but that huge imposing parking block is just hideous.

Plenty of sidewalk space, I don't see any curb cuts....what's the issue? Aesthetics? No retail that no one is going to use anyway?

Isn't Rockefeller(?) building a NYC quality building right up the street in Midtown?

It looks like a Soviet administration building sprouted two attractive modern skyscrapers. Except the Soviets probably wouldn’t have put that railing in front of the whole building at street level.

Heh - true. They weren't exactly known for safety standards.

Sidewalks look good to me and well into the top 10% of off street sidewalks.





However looking at the parking deck makes you kinda want to puke. If ll cars were EV's just think how much better that would look if it was glass.

Agreed. The minute you said The Mart, I knew that was the reference. it looks very similar.

The buildings look great. However. The floor plans suck.
