The height and placement of this tower is honestly perfect for how it creates a continuous skyline from BU all the way to back bay. The height matches its roofline up very nicely to the vastly differently sized buildings on either end. Bravo.
 
9/27 If the top of the core is still sticking out, is this really the very top or will there be some kind of mech screen raising the height ~1 more floor?

I noticed in the weekly update that they are building structural core for the 20-21 stories which I presume is mechanical only as the building has been described as a 19-story building:

 
Interesting. I wonder when they top out? I'm also fascinated to see how/when the temporary support structure comes down. It's a pretty interesting construction

This past Thursday it looks like based on the posts on the last page.

I'd actually argue the exact opposite - the glass in that picture looks like a mirror.
Agree that it does have a mirror image in angles and especially in pictures. The facades that do not have the brise soleil reflect the surrounding buildings.
