That little tiny three-decked wedged in between this and the Symphony towers looks a little out-of-place now.

Is the building about halfway to topping off? I counted about 15 floors.

The Lyra is 34 stories tall, so yes it's almost halfway. It's 15 floors as of today if you count the floor slab.

Glass looking good

I like how the top of the swept bay matches the cornice line of the Huntington Theater.

I’m a little wary of the solid panels on the party wall. In the gray overcast they read a bit plasticky.

Contrasts like that in living changing cities are awesome.

Seems like they are building this super quick.

Damn, this one going up fast! Not sure how its apparent aesthetic will fit in at this site, but guess will see...

Sprinkle these around Back Bay and Downtown and we got ourselves a sustainable city. I like to think of more high-rises in a reformed West End, but that's another force to be dealt with.
