Too bad it can’t flip back to being attractive and 200’ taller.This one just flipped back to condos.

Thanks for the update. Also, water is wet; razors, sharp.There was never going to be a taller tower here regardless of any prior proposals. The FAA wouldn't have allowed anything taller at this location.
From the initial switch announcement, I hope this remains true:This one just flipped back to condos.
From the initial switch announcement, I hope this remains true:
The switch means the company will now only have about $22 million to put towards the so-called Parcel 12 project which would include one building with up to 170 affordable apartments and a hotel, rather than the $48 million it had originally promised through proceeds from the sale of condos. Larkin said Millennium Partners remains committed to the project - which helped the BPDA agree to let it forgo affordable units in Winthrop Square - and that if the Boston economy takes off again, the company would convert the apartments to condos and add back the remaining $26 million.

It was approved by the BPDA board back in February 2020, what timing! You'd imagine if Wu insists that MP put back in that additional $26M, there's no reason for it not to go ahead now, financial headwinds not withstanding.Anyone know if the chinatown tower thats being funded by this project is still on hold?
