I believe the MT started rising above ground in early August 2014, which would mean it took about 13 months to top out. Even with One Dalton's smaller floor area and the seemingly ridiculous speed that Suffolk was able to complete concrete work at MT, I don't think they have a shot at topping...

Yes. Those don't even break 400 feet. This will be 415 + mechanical penthouse.

I wonder if the inlet was part of a mitigation requirement during Ch. 91 permitting process, since they were constructing on "filled tidelands." Perhaps another permitting process as well. That would certainly provide some flood mitigation.

I'll take it, even though you technically beat me to it. With all of you industry insiders out there (I'm a mere environmental consultant that just happens to be a fan of architecture/urban development), I'm lucky if I can break any sort of relevant news on here.

Correct me if I'm wrong - didn't we figure out that 685 was a marketing gimmick, the reality being that the number is actually the altitude (height above MSL)? The USGS topo maps seem to corroborate this (the property is located somewhat between the 30 and 40 foot contours). The renderings...

Core is going up. Couldn't snag pics from 93.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Doesn't look like it will break 500' looking at the height relative to Avalon NS.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End The scars may never heal...

They also indicated that it's 55 stories, not 56. So, based on a building height of 625, we should be breaking the 600 foot barrier soon, if not already (not sure if they've moved to 53 yet). Looks >600 feet altitude wise already.

I would like to see something around 700. So far, my only complaint with the building is that it looks a little wide from certain angles relative to its height. I think the extra height would help a little.

Re: The Merano Now we can install the mock up and wait 10 years. I have a feeling the gray panels in the render are gonna be garbage, but I'm excited about the project. What's the construction schedule? Is the company that's using the parcel as staging going to get the boot, or will they...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium

Agreed. Im a huge fan of the most recent render. I could care less about shadows on long wharf or the greenway or blocking views of the custom house tower from a certain angle. I'm all for preserving what makes Boston unique, but It's a freaking city. We only have so many spots to build up...

Hancock Place Renamed Not sure if there is an existing thread that covers these sorts of things, but Hancock Place is now called 200 Clarendon: http://www.whdh.com/story/29671695/iconic-boston-building-renamed-as-insurance-company-vacates

Not sure if someone previously discovered this during the Converse phase of the project, but I found a construction webcam on RB's website, that shoots still photos of progress (40 min +/- intervals). Gives a great perspective of the entire site, and the resolution is ok. Crane assembly is...

Wikipedia says One Financial Center is 683 with antenna. MT will be 685, so looking at the photos (and trying to adjust for perspective) I would guess closer to 2/3 up the boom. Even though it will be the tallest in that part of town, I don't think it will be the true "plateau breaker"...

I'm excited about this one. It's interesting to say the least. BTW, when are they going to alter the alignment of Northern Ave.?

Darn it. I thought something exciting was happening. Moving along...

Second crane was up sans boom when I passed the site on my way to work. Couldn't snag a pic unfortunately.
