Nice pic! thanks for sharing

you are just a ray of sunshine

the severe thunderstorms in central MA may have been a factor.

Interesting response. Then why would the developer still be promoting it? https://theconnectorwc.com/

Ok, I'll bite. Why then would the developer want fewer people congregating in the lobby, the great hall, whatever label you want to call it?

Any human capable of walking a few blocks would be considered "locals" to Winthrop Square / tower. I would consider both commuters who are working in the financial district or nearby residents.

The recent pics by bigpicture7 are quite impressive. I imagine the locals will patronize the shops during business hours. I know I would if I worked around there.

Yeah, Boston deserves great architecture but god forbid it cast shadows on the Common. I do agree that there were better choices put forward during the RFP to exemplify more appealing architecture but I would argue that this tower still enhances the skyline especially when compared to the...

Reassuring to see that the structural steel beam is supported by those strategically anchored 2x4's ;)

I think the core has topped out.

Snipped from the pic above. I see the tugboats yet it appears that USS Constitution is under it's own power without the use of the sails ??

I'm in agreement, especially when comparing to other East Coast cities. Have you been to Philly / Baltimore / DC lately? Sure, there are some areas that are rundown but, for a city as old as Boston, it's rather impressive.

Figures there was an existing thread and I was only off by about 10 years.

Wasn't there a proposal about 5-7 years ago to replace the old dilapidated Northern Ave bridge (or whatever its called) with some slick looking pedestrian bridge? Aesthetically, that would go a long way and help to draw more people (foot-traffic) to the Seaport.

I think the tag line "the connector" was not meant as a cut-through but as a way for people to connect and socialize in the lobby. ref :https://theconnectorwc.com/
