I agree. This tower looks great. Might even look better than Winthrop Center. Most important, its a 200+ meter addition to a city that has a good number of 150+ buildings but is more vertically challenged by most of her peers.

2 450 foot towers? Is the Alcott going to be a twin tower structure???

Just saw the wikipedia page for "tallest buildings in Boston" and it just updated SST's notes in the last couple of days and says "project put on hold". Does anyone know why that is or what it means? How can that be if construction will start in 1 month's time???

It really does and I would say its because of the high density of the Boston core. I had mentioned once that Boston "seems bigger" than Philadelphia and that is plausible because the Boston core is much denser than Philly and Greater Philly is only 20% bigger than Greater Boston (6 million vs 5...

Thanks for the info. No wonder I hadn't heard of them. Surprised they haven't gone to NYC, LA, DC, Miami before Boston.

So is this pretty much confirmed to be U/C in terms of status? Are the starting construction next month (Jan 2020)???

Awesome news. So is it reasonable to expect construction to start in 2020 and completion by 2023 or 2024? This will really be another great addition to the downtown core along with WST and MT.

What is Raffles and is it really such a big deal?

Boston does have a direct rail link (Blue line) to and from Logan.

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?
