Looking at the renders again - I agree with you even more now. It just feels cold and corporate. I know a space needs to be planned and thus it will feel planned. But there is nothing about it that makes it feel organic. It feels like it was dropped out of a template - a-la Sim City. It's...

Its because there is a privately-owned park right around the corner that there is no onus on them to add additional green space. They probably feel they've ponied up enough - and rightfully so. I do agree that it needs more than this poorly (read lazily) conceived theme and concrete. The goal...

That makes sense also. I didn't know the FAA limits here, so I was trying to be optimistic but reasonable. Also taking into consideration - this is Boston after all.

Re: Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I agree... it needs to be broken up. I would love to see them keep the Northern most part of the structure, as that is the most interesting visually, and then remove the rest in favor of several high-rises. This could become a...

I actually really like that complex! If there were some way to keep part of it - say one of the corners and series of stairwells and then redevelop the rest with a high-rise, that would be ideal in my opinion. It's a great example of that style and era, and while it is a little overbearing...

Damn - that is like the Tip Oneil Building on steroids. What a landscraper.

^Right on... thanks! I guess I'll focus on the category changes for now, since those buildings are already in their system.

On Skyscraperpage.com Boston diagram, there are several buildings that should have their category updated from "proposed" to "Under Construction." Does anyone know how to submit a request to their mods to make those changes??? -Winthrop Square -One Congress Tower 1 -Longfellow Place -Hub Office...

Re: Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End Man - looking at these photos and renders, I can't decide if I'm more excited about this project, 1000 Boylston and co., or the Hub on Causeway! All 3 of these projects are trans-formative and amazing for their respective neighborhoods...

Would have loved to have seen staggered/asymmetrical set-backs. Would have made it look more slender and likely taller if the bottom two in particular were not the same height.

Anyone know what the status is for the James Hook development? This is an interesting location.

The James Hook lot. I'm assuming it's the address you're referring to. If so - Boo.

Whatever happened to the proposal for the corner of Atlantic Ave and Seaport Blvd? I thought that was shaping up as a good one, and on a lot that could really use some love.

I'll up the crazy by 1. Imagine now that this new development was also built above the tracks and followed the curvature of the adjacent highway ramps. That would be one slick looking development. But even without that - just building on the open lot would present an opportunity for a tall...

Cool - thanks for the clarification. Happy to be wrong when we can rise above '500 in that part of the city.

Curbed says 488' (scaled down from 566), though the article is from 3/18.

Does the mechanical apparatus (not antanea) count towards the Prus height? That's the only part blocking the horizon.

Not really sure where to post this amazing video... figures this was as good a spot as any. https://vimeo.com/296418897

Still better than 7/7 imo. 1-6 were ALL better than the one that was chosen. I just don't get it.

Nice... thanks for posting... makes this tower look incredible.
