DCA is OK because the tallest buildings in the DC area are in Roslyn and those are only around 450 feet. MDW is still a lot further away from the Chicago Loop than BOS is from downtown. I think MDW is 7-8 miles from the loop, but definitely at least 5. PHL and PHX are really close to...

Awesome to see this is finally U/C...wonder if wiki has updated the status from proposed to under construction yet.

It is true that the total # of skyscrapers in a city is more important to give the skyline a more massive/dense feel than just having one or two really tall buildings. That being said, I feel there is prestige with having a 1000' or at least a 300 meter plus tower. For that reason, I'd like to...

gotcha

The TD Garden area will have 4 towers of that height?

Its Columbus Circle (is there a Columbus Center as well???)...

From the pics on this thread, I can tell that the hub is basically the opposite end of the block as TD Garden. But after posting yesterday, I looked North Station up and remembered reading that its under the Garden, just like Penn Station is under Madison Square Garden in NYC.

Is there going to be a T subway stop at this site? Presumably there is one for the Garden? I'm not a Boston native, but isn't North Station really close by?

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I agree these top 2 renders look pretty dope. As with anything a picture can be misleading. Lets see how it looks in a few years when it actually goes up. Millenium Tower and 1 Dalton are both very nice looking, so its not a total loss if this one...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Awesome!

Will anyone still be breathing by the time all of those get topped off??? How many of those are likely to go up in the next 10 years? Back Bay has all 3 seven hundred footers in the city. Downtown could really use a 700+ building. But since MT and Winthrop Square are almost that tall, you'd...

So is that first floor going up???

Excellent angle and shot of the Back Bay skyline there. Can't wait for 1 Dalton to at least have its cladding complete.

^ 378' nevermind got it from google.

How tall is this building exactly?

There are exactly 51 buildings in NYC that are taller than 1 Dalton. And another 12 that are 700+ but just shorter than it.

Re: 1000 Boylston Street | MassDot Pike Parcel 15 This looks a really good project. If it was closer to the Pru, like 1 Dalton and 111 Huntington Ave, it would add the perception of the Back Bay having a rival dense core like NYC and Atlanta (well I think Boston already has a superior skyline...

This is from a different thread, but I was wondering. What exactly made Boston a "cesspool" in the 1960s? Was it organized crime? Poverty? Poor economic times? Also I was born in Fenway in 1983 (well we lived in Fenway but I was born at the Brigham). What was Boston like in the early 1980s...

Would that be because Hainan already has that route? I noticed that while Hainan flies to JFK, they fly to small cities I've never heard of (prolly still 10 million plus population tho, lol). JFK gets Air China, China Southern, China Eastern to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai so I guess its just...

When the Pru went up in 1964, was it really the tallest building in the world outside NYC? I read that on wikipedia and if thats the case, its mind boggling how far behind Boston has fallen. To be fair, I'd be happy with just one 1000 footer in the city (preferably in the financial district)...
