The metal screen looks to be the double-height balcony. That means there would be 2 floors above it, and one appears already poured so I think there's only the very last floor on top of that which will be the top of the screen.

Very easy to count in this picture.

Yea I was saying 2 floors to go. 2 floors of glass left above the final concrete floor which ends right above that metal screen. Its confusing to explain, but on top of the final concrete floor that is already poured there are 2 floors of glass to go then its finished. You can see the concrete floor below that ends at the top of the double height balcony then theres 2 floors of seathrough glass left to go above that.

There are 12 total balcony floors, with the top one being a double floor. Note that this double floor matches up with the steel bars on the corners near the top. Boston02124's above pic illustrates this well enough. You can see that the concrete in his pic extends 2 floors above those steel bars, which is the total top section.

Hence, I would say that this one won't be getting any higher than it is today, at least according to the above pic. It's possible that the other side is still finishing up that very top section, but make no mistake that IS the very top section of this building. There won't be any more vertical growth after this. Sorry to disappoint you.
 
3-6 weeks.....

But the trees will be stripped for DZ's amazing long distance shots.

I've been too busy heading to the mountains for foliage shots (Adirondacks last weekend, Acadia weekend before) but will post more of this one soon enough. More views should open up as the leaves fall off! For the time being I have kind of lost interest in Boston altogether, since I'm totally obsessive about October and leaf-peeping. I'm also depressed that Detroit is getting a 900' tower while we'll never eclipse the Hancock....

Do you live in LA now or will you be back to fight the good fight? I'm really running out of steam on the "giving a crap about the Boston skyline" front. Everything moves too slow around here and I feel my life slipping away. Even when we finally go over 700', it seems like everywhere else is going 800'-1000'. It's excruciating and drowning my enthusiasm in a sea of bitter jealousy.

I should be in Philly around the end of the month so I'll try to provide y'all with pics from there as well as some of my foliage shots (peak in the Adirondacks!). I also have some good downtown Providence pics. But... whatever. Thanks for the shout-out!
 
This tower is going to look a lot thinner once the external elevators come down
 
I think this is the final height, no metal screen or steel skeleton above coming... It looks like its slightly taller than the Pru from an angle where the Pru is closer to me from the ground. By like a hair.

I am trying to understand what we are seeing in BeeLine's upper level photos (very nice, by the way).

Is this:

Top floor: open mechanical roof, side walls or at least side columns for screen support.
Next floor down: mechanical floor
Next two floors down: Double level penthouse. Odd smaller window openings in the upper floor?

^^Yes; it appears that's the top of the building.

Look closely at the right side.... see the opening there?

How that gets from 699' occupied floor height to 742' total seems kind of odd.

That's the most insane picture of Back Bay in all of recorded history.

Need to Photoshop Copley Tower into that shot!
