This looks the same height as the Marriot and Westin at Copley Place...how tall are those two hotels? I was thinking/hoping that Raffles would be visibly taller than those two.

Has this thing topped out already?

From 93 north, Winthrop looks taller than MT (which it is but only by like 5 feet)...once the crown and cladding is done, it might hopefully look to be 20-50 feet taller than MT from that vantage point!

This is looking quite massive now especially from close up.

When is this bad boy gonna top out?

What happened to the flights to Boston by El Al, Royal Air Maroc, and Hainan Airlines???

I'm guesstimating its about 2/3 of the way there already. About 1/3 taller.

OK so part of the tower ends at this height, correct?

Is this still a building with two separate roofs? Like the original had roofs at 691 and 570 feet or something.

MT is quite prominent coming in on 93 from the south and I'm guessing Winthrop Square will be also (its basically right next to MT). Of course SST will add another decent glass tower to that. Overall not terrible by any means.

Yeah I thought it was just me, but I too have noticed this thing hasn't gotten any taller in a hot minute.

Looks like the MSA (Greater Boston) population was tagged at 4.94 million. Just under 5 million! If you include the missing COVID students, the MSA population would probably go past 5 million and Boston past 700,000 probably. You'd think there are at least 60,000 college students in the area...

Anyone else surprised/disappointed to see the official 2020 census has Boston at a mere 675K, while the 2019 estimate was up around 692K? NYC somehow shattered expected growth with 8.8M (estimates were in the 8.3 to 8.4 range). Suburbs like Cambridge, Quincy, and Worcester all grew more...

Its starting to become visible on the skyline! This is truly a pretty massive addition to the downtown core.

I live in Nashville and idk why it never occurred to me that this is almost a carbon copy of One Congress...albeit about 2/3 the height.

wikipedia says this thing topped out on 7/15...is that true?

Yeah most of NYC's supertalls are kinda cringeworthy. The exceptions being the Nordstrom tower and and that 457 Park Ave (which is merely meh but still better than those ugly anorexic supertalls). Correction: 432 Park.

Even better! (yeah I'm one of those height fetishists and proud of it). What is the status on this...is it just a proposal, approved, soon to be u/c???

Yeah not the greatest aesthetic on this. But it looks tall-ish aprox 350 feet and adds density around the Clarendon which is good.

Come to think of it...Penn Station is quite dark - considerably more so than Grand Central Terminal. It fits perfectly with NYC's grimy reputation haha.
