Second stint now in NYC, eight years aggregately, and I'm tapped. Yeah, there are a lot of cool things, sure. The bad, the frustrating, the nightmare overtake it all; the city is in decline and we need to stop comparing any of it with Boston. We don't want to be this s***hole place. Honestly...

Good thing we kept the brick business hot and heavy.

Well put, but per column wouldn't you still assume for a % loss even with tight supply? If they can make enough for the building, they can make a couple more per column.

I wonder how long we are going to play the window game here. Why wouldn't there be an assumption for breakage/loss so you can actually window up the whole friggin thing on time.

feels like that core is really movin'

So let's just keep proposing zoning changes for height, everywhere. Seems like a chill idea. Also, Boston friggin loves outdoor stairs.

In addition to Winthrop and One Congress, this crowns with light too, no? That's three 600'ers with significant lighting. Might be more of an addition to the night skyline than the day.

Boston has it by far the best of any major metro city with regards to homelessness. NYC and SF are beyond acceptable for society and many cities in warmer climates, the Houston's, Miami's, etc have gotten worse. Don't even think about LA, where there are neighborhoods now for the homeless. It's...

I agree, I think the rest of the lighting hasn't been fully installed. I will say, WS will very much look tallest once the sun goes down.

by 'frozen' you mean repurposing as a lab science building

how about the Kenmore Hotel that was supposed to redirect traffic or something, and look like upside down gold logs that get wider as it gets higher?Worst description ever but the only name I can find is Kenmore Hotel.

There has to be a more appropriate word for 'progress'. An antonym search may do the trick.

and is it even 6' taller than MT??....🙃 (Start conspiracy theory banter) joking, but nothing about this tower grabs attention as the 'tallest' in downtown.

it's honestly insane that this project is actually happening.

I'm just kidding, really. I absolutely adore this building and this project- sub the Lab Science addition- and is a great bridge to the West End 'towers.' This was an incredibly difficult endeavor, like SST, and I couldn't be more grateful that with all the obstacles, they are still being...

Windowgate 2023. What would AB be if we didn't have a tower without windows to annoy us for the next year or more. At least they aren't the plywood choice of 1 Dalton.

He has been for a hard decade+

Working in hospitality, I found job postings for a new John Fraser restaurant at WT. This is a significant add to the city restaurant scene. From further info i gathered here in NY, that restaurant is signed, and in construction.

Yes, it is. I wondered the same thing. I rode Acela on Tuesday and asked a foreman if the core is going to keep rising. Although an absolutely moronic question, he knew what I meant. He said, 'that's the plan...clear sailing 🤞'
