Heard they just signed up a 5-Star residential component for the top of this tower, not sure what brand; I'm sure the views will be spectacular!

Hotel or residential ? Or like the st Regis seaport with no hotel ? Lol

Just residential, no hotel, same as St. Regis.

MassPort is just talking about adding tracks....but will those projects necessarily have air rights components?

If anything could be considered pornography on this site it would be those arches. Love.

I know they made provisions for future air rights development (i.e. South Station Tower) when they raised the platforms in the 80s. At the very least they could probably make similar provisions with a South Station expansion. (The same can go for the Widett Circle parcels MassDOT keeps eyeing for train storage, though I think some of those aren't exactly high-priority for decking.)

Are there any renders of this from the water? I decided that this will make a big impact relative to the MT’s

These are the only ones I know of, but I'd love to see others if they're out there.

Yes, a lit crown ?

I actually thought the arches had less of a chance than the tower.

How would the tower be built without them in this particular location?

They would just VE out the architectural component and leave the bare minimum.
