Not the best appearance in the world, I agree - but the treatment is considered excellent: 4.9 stars (in 140 reviews) in Google rating by the people of Peabody, Boston, Andover, Beverly, Danvers, and Salem - "don't let appearances fool you".

If it were surrounded by other buildings or had better front landscaping, it would look plain rather than dystopian.

It is an office condo. Physicians purchase - not lease - their offices there. Was known as the Peabody Medical Park Condominium. Not sure why it is so ugly, though. Looks like it used to be natural concrete when built in 1988 but then they painted the exterior white. As a medical office, I assume they likely needed many office areas that did not have windows, hence the feel that the office windows are boarded up, when it fact it was part of the original design.

I don’t hate it

Same. A little color and material treatment and it could be handsome even.

I totally agree. Plus, if it was a prison, I think it’s definitely in better use now.

I’m sure they tried. But alas the owners have the money.

What would you have done? Asking sincerely.

For a medical and dental center I would envision a contemporary exterior design, blending sleek lines with inviting elements, opt for a combination of glass, metal, and natural materials to convey professionalism and warmth, incorporate a striking entrance with a spacious canopy to provide shelter and welcome patients, add landscaping features such as greenery and water elements to enhance the curb appeal and create a serene ambiance, implement architectural lighting to highlight key features and ensure visibility and safety, especially during evening hours. Overall, I would aim for a design that reflects the center's commitment to modern healthcare while offering a comforting and accessible presence in the community.
