It's funny that you mentioned the Green building, because in CTBUH it is listed at 277'. Emporis and Wikipedia have it listed at 295'. As for the Sullivan courthouse, I think 302' is pretty close to what was shown in the plans, if you measure from the main entrance of the building to the top of...

I'm looking for some input from the forum in regards to the height of the former Sullivan Courthouse in Cambridge. After looking at the following links, I found major discrepancies in the heights reported by CTBUH and Emporis...

I'm 43, male, a city postal carrier in Sanford, Maine and a retired U.S. Army combat veteran. I have always had a strong interest in buildings, especially in our local area. I may be considered a Portland forumer, but I still browse and comment daily in the Boston and Cambridge forums. I...

I'm assuming Hubman got a lot of that data from Emporis.com, a website I contribute to. A lot of those figures are from data I've submitted over the last couple of years. If there are links OR hard data such as newspaper articles out there with the missing height information, please let me know...

Any progress with a separate Portland section? Could this be put up for a forum vote? I am also a fan of a separate Cambridge section too.

Stick n Move thank you for your service! I am also a veteran. I retired as an Army Sergeant First Class in 2015 after 21 years of service to our great country. I deployed to Afghanistan 3 times (16 mo., 1 yr, 9 mo.), Iraq once (15 mo.) and Bosnia for a little over 6 months to baby sit the...

Could the former Sullivan Courthouse (40 Thorndike) in Cambridge be taller than the Green Building at MIT? Look at page 22 in the first link (ground elevations) and page 10 in the second link (existing roof plan). From my observations the top of the existing structure is 331'4" above sea level...

This may be old news to some, new to others. A 6 story building proposed for 20 Thames Street: http://me-portland.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/4526?fileID=20603 I've submitted this to Emporis and hopefully it should show by early next week.

I can see the 286' for Ames Street Residences (see first link below - page 29 and 38), but 75 Ames at 299' seems to be a bit of a stretch. Check it out - In the second link, on page 45, you can see that the height to the roof top screen on 75 Ames is 263'6" feet (284'6" - 21'). However, what is...

I've checked all of the recent links (thanks!) and read the posts about the lumber yard development and what we got for the Bay House. Here is what I think - The developers are playing it safe with this new development. Why? 1. They are going with the brick wall look of Commercial Street (The...

I wonder if they are in the process of hitting the "reset" button for that (Midtown) development in light of 58 Fore Street's victory over the nimbys?

I just uploaded this project (7 floors, 92') to Emporis for approval. Thanks for the updates!

Great find Cneal!

Yup, I will be calling soon to update Wikipedia, Emporis and CTBUH ;-). Right now I am tracking a pinnacle height from 367' to 378'.

Welcome to the forum! I'm not sure about Federated's construction timeline, but hopefully work gets started soon on this long delayed project.

Dr. Stangehat nailed it - a lot of us are pretty jaded after the above ^ listed debacles. All of these new plans are great in my mind, but be prepared for them to be chopped down significantly. I will add to that list - remember Waterview (12 floors), Graves hill (around 10-11 floors), the...

The main reason for my pessimism - NIMBY Tim Paradis. I read the BDN article about the tallest in Maine proposal and puked in my mouth after reading the part about him. We can thank him for the much delayed and now stubby Midtown project. Did he come from Mass? Can someone pick him up and bring...

Is it me or does it seem like the Luminato squeaked through the planning process with hardly a sound (similar to 665 Congress)? I think that 99 Anderson would look better with a roof top screen. Thanks Corey for the update!

I like the idea of the 23 story building, but I don't see it happening next to the Old Port. Maybe a 9-12 story building, yes, but not 23. As for the hospital expansion, wow that is big! I can see neighborhood groups trying to trim this one down too. I will be interesting to see the final...
