This project is a must. Would be awesome to add another 650+ building to the downtown core to go with MT and Winthrop.

Looks like its going to start going vertical!

Is this RL-BL connector still just a proposal or is it under construction already?

Will the makeover change the height of the building at all?

Disappointing to see this get scrapped. Looked really good in the renders, although a bit stumpy. As a fellow height-fetishist, I don't see why every building in the Back Bay has to be 750'. There are already 3 that fit that category. 550' was plenty tall enough. Unless a tower is going to...

LOL. Count me as into both kinks :lol::lol:

Has there ever been any talk to SQ having a BOS-SIN route??? Thats really a big name carrier/route that Boston could/should have... Boston could potentially have Qantas routes to Sydney/Melbourne, Air India to BOM/DEL, and perhaps South African to J'burg.

It can't be worse than Avalon North, lol. The only thing going for Avalon North is that it was decently tall-ish as the West End's tallest building (not anymore though).

Yeah Avalon North looks pretty ordinary to say the least. I'm afraid Bulfinch Crossing Residential will be similalrly unimpressive. I guess they can't all be like MT, 1 Dalton, or TD Garden.

Wiki says this building will be 547' but the website only says 480'...whats going on?

Always wondered this...is MT and Winthrop Center designed by the same Millenium Partners company?

Its not great, but its not that bad. Could have been a lot uglier.

We mostly agree regarding Philly, Boston, and DC. Chicago is certainly "the 2nd city" in terms of impressiveness. Even LA feels smaller than Chicago. But LA still feels pretty big. Boston is probably a more vibrant city than all but a few in the US. It certainly world class in all respects...

I'll try to clarify what I meant. Everyone knows NYC's stats (biggest, most densely populated, most skyscrapers, tallest skyline, etc). The city rarely ever sleeps en masse. My experiences in Boston and Philly are admittedly sparse (spent 3 days in Boston, 1 in Philly) but I've lived in Chicago...

Excited about this bad boy. Its not officially u/c yet, is it?

Well NYC and Boston are the two largest cities north of NJ...there is also some form of rivalry between the two as well. Of course outside of LA and possibly Chicago, no city is a virtual equal of NYC but both Boston and NYC are elite east coast cities. In many regards, Boston is a minature...

Whoa...are they starting on the office building already??? Haha, Boston construction is so slow I thought it would be a year between completeion of the residential tower and start of the office tower, lol.

Is this building a residential tower?

I must apologize. I actually know very little about urbanism/development so I am probably just parroting a lot of stuff I've read here. And although I was born in Boston, I only lived there for 2 or 3 short months, visited only twice thereafter, and only recently become a fan of the city. So I...

I'm from Nashville, and forget NYC, I doubt Music City has as much red tape as Boston does when it comes to building anything remotely tall.
