Boston Store–From the Top

March 22nd, 2008

Construction on the Boylston Street (Boston) retail store has been generally hidden from the view of our live Webcam, but inside the store has been shaping up. A photo of the area taken from the nearby Prudential Building shows the Apple store nestled between the surrounding buildings, with a roof-mounted skylight, scaffolding over the all-glass façade, and the mechanical equipment area at the rear of the roof wrapped in yellow insulating material. Interviews for prospective employees have begun, and the store is on-track for a mid-May grand opening.

    No rooftop garden. The reason it’s on Michigan Avenue’s is because there’s the classroom up there that looks out onto it, and Apple wouldn’t want them looking out onto an asphalt roof now would they. Here however, the only thing up there is air conditioning equipment, and while they care enough to hide the machinery behind walls, they’re not gonna plant and care for a garden no one will see, except if you’re in the Prudential Building apparently.

    Personally I would like to see solar panels.

    “The new 21,350-square-foot Apple Store will have three floors of commercial retail space and will incorporate a green roof.”
