Downtown Boston formerly know as stumpsville has grown up a little in the last few years, with this building breaking a tradition of generic high rises.., Adds so much character to our skyline, …

DZ, in the first pic it seems Millenium is a good 20 ft taller. Wiki says that it has a height of 698 to pinnacle, so isnt MILLENIUM actiually taller then? I am confused to what is the pinnacle anyway on the Millenium, with the angled crown.

These pics are an optical illusion , but gosh these look like the height disparity is extreme. Is this it for any further elevation on These pictures most represent a view that the Millenium is nigher overall (land and building) combined. Is WC completed as far as height?

of all the buildings chopped vertically down in our beautiful city, this one is the one I am most sad about. The original 759’ would have made this the downtown jewel, and the original top spire would have given her individuality from our stumpy tops……

Thanks DZ, I guess I shouldn’t spend so much time on Wikipedia. Boredom seems to lead to my inaccurate figures.

I have yet to see a picture that shows 100 ft difference between these two garage behemoths. To the naked eye, it doesn’t seem the 600 and 500 ft heights are accurate for each?

West End skyline has made Boston look world class, maybe vertically challenged overall, but nice extension to the downtown core. Nice pictures DZH

I can see Winthrop peaking through the towers also, great shot….

Any chance with the parameters set forth by FAA (the 856’) number, we could have a spire/antenna making this Boston’s new tallest? Cheesy but lots of other cities inflate their highest in such way....

Thx Brookline, compelling stuff, gets the blood pumpin’ thinking about the every day risks these sky warriors encounter..

Thanks for the updates BeeLine, progress is a good thing.

Is there any chance the spire or antenna (documented in the FAA height specifications) will be considered as structural height to make 1Dalton the tallest building in the city? A stretch, I know, but Indianapolis’s Salesforce top floor is 625 and their roof ornament brings it higher than Boston...
