It really does look like a great addition to the Boston skyline. Idk if its all the low rises around it, but it looks absolutely massive from down Huntington Ave in Back Bay/Copley.

I noticed on the MBTA site that mticket passes are slightly cheaper for the commuter rail...is there something I'm missing???

I actually really like this building, ngl

Must be the low rises all around it, but this thing looks massive like a 500 footer in Fenway!!!

Are all the buildings in blue under construction or proposed? Thats a mighty fine skyline on its own, forget about satellite skylines. That skyline blows away some "big city" skylines like St Louis, New Orleans, Newark NJ and probably a few others as well. The king of satellite or auxillary...

Cambridge has a pretty decently impressive skyline already - especially for a city of its size. But to really go next level, they'd need 3-4 five hundred footers.

North Station is the best location, cuz it allows people to come for Celtics/Bruins/special events without having to drive into the city. Plus its just a historic location with the orig Boston Garden and the new Garden practically at the same location.

I was recently on the SQ flight from SFO-SIN-SFO. I'm not sure if it was the 350 ULR...i think it was a regular A350 cuz I was in economy class and not premium econ. I lucked out on the outbound flight with aisle seat and an empty one next to me. I believe my flight was a shade under 17 hours...

Would be great to see Singapore Airlines start service to Boston with their A350-900ULR

Seems like they are building this super quick.

Winthrop is is officially listed at 691', with MT and SST just a few feet shorter making them essentially triplets height wise. Does this mean the FAA height limit for Downtown is 700 feet? Whats the height limit for Back Bay?

Just saw the NYC pop estimate for 2024...its at 8.48M which is up from 8.2 or so a year or two ago...

Well that seems paradoxical so I'd ask how we know that population is actually rising???

Excellent points. I do remember the 2019 Boston proper population estimate was 690K and then when the actual [COVID] census came out in 2020/21 the actual population was down to 654,000. So it will be interesting to see if Boston can cross 700K by 2030. The MSA increase could also be people...

You can get a general feel though based on things like "there used to not be as much traffic on such and such road at this time of day..." or "why is the T always packed nowadays" or "no one seems to be riding the T these days".
