Seems like just yesterday this was just a site with some dirt moved around, a few pipes strewn about, an excavator sitting idle and every now and then someone would post the big news of a few construction workers doing something in spite of the pandemic. And now they've already poured what...

Sorry had a brainfart moment lmao. I thought it was a new building.

Which one is the new State St tower???

This is gonna be a great addition for the Back Bay, which I hope gains more density through more buildings in the 300-500 foot range.

This is going up fast. When's it expected to top out? My guess would be Q1 2022...

Jet Blue would need some wide body jets if they start flying to London from BOS, JFK, MIA. Six and a half hours in a cramped single aisle would be shitty.

The Fed is is such an ugly building. I wonder what the other Fed buildings look like...

Oh shit, this is starting to go vertical too. Man 115 Winthrop, One Congress, Raffles...thats 3 all going vertical simaltaneously!!! Wicked pissah!!!

Also Chicago...Willis tower is at the southwest corner of their Downtown core. There's only one building taller than 600 feet anywhere near it, and its a 900 footer that looks like 111 Huntington sittting next to the Pru and 1 Dalton, relatively speaking.

Any idea when these will offically break ground?

Is there anything else north of 300 feet planned for the Back Bay?

Looks like this bad boy is gonna start going vertical pretty soon!

Full disclosure - older millenial here. :D

What I wanna know is who the fuck is still alive from the 1950s to keep perpetuating such regressive ideas.

Out of that list of cities, only DC, Phoenix, and possibly Montreal are of a similar overall stature as Boston in terms of size, importance. The cities that Boston *should* be compared to are Philly, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Dallas. In that sense we're on par or ahead of...

4 years for the completion of a tower is not that bad. In the meantime Winthrop Square and One Congress will most likely be completed giving the city 3 new 600' plus towers.

Is this the beginning of the actual tower, or is it some side project connected to SST?

Overall this is a good addition to the West End skyline, IMO. I know some people think this building looks too plain, but I like it.

^You know if One Congress was half the width, it would appear to be taller than it is. Some many buildings seem to be a lot shorter than they are due to their girth for lack of a better word, lol. 200 Clarendon is like that as well but I guess office buildings you need as much floor space as you...

^From this angle, it really looks like the downtown skyline has a lot of gaps. Obviously Winthrop Center will kinda plug a hole as would SST. The opposite angle from Eastie/Logan across the harbor always presents a much "denser" filled out skyline.
