Just curious about the fate of the 4 houses on the corner of that block, one on Francis and three on Joseph... Will these get torn down, or will we just have to deal with a massive skyscraper in our back yards?

The City's interactive map shows a building footprint for the first building on the parking lot at the corner of Charles & Francis. I can't find the building permit details. Looking at the rendering that was circulated recently, the second building will likely be on the remainder of the parking lot at the corner of Charles & Water.

Or, if they wanted they could mirror the first tower on the other side of the lot and still have space left over fronting Joseph.  This could either be incorporated into the second tower's phase, or serve as a third phase.

Imagine 144 Park style units on the ground floor fronting Joseph.  Seems kind of perfect to me.
