Very cool. I had hoped to go

gorgeous

only vaguely (very vaguely) related, but every time I walk or drive by 1 Dalton, I can't believe the developers didn't grab that opportunity when they could have. Just add another 40 feet and you're the new tallest! I'm not even a height fetishest and that would've been exciting to me.

Absolutely nothing about this project is “cheap.” And the windows look great imo.

One Congress is the most meaningful addition -- of many -- these past 10-15 years. Finally a world-class, non-puritanical/conservative design on a tall (tall-ish...) highrise. And the night-time lighting is stunning. I hope a new construction boom happens sooner than later and that we get some...

Per your friend and mine, AI (sarcasm): The dramatic "uplighting" of the Berkeley Building's entire facade (the Old John Hancock) was a special architectural feature introduced in the early 2000s that has since been discontinued for a combination of environmental and economic reasons. The...

I think they (reasonably) would expect that with *no* indoor observation deck, their attendance/profit (other than special events in the indoor observatory space) would be essentially zero from early november to late march.

Personally, I feel the addition of the outdoor platform was a massive upgrade to the "viewing the city at height" aspect. I went to the old Skywalk (and the long-shuttered John Hancock Observatory) as often as possible (and when I got to be HS age, I'd drag my friends to Top of the Hub for...

This is truly the worst. At the very least keep Stratus with maybe a limited menu. WTF? "Boston's highest rooftop bar" -- I mean, I've been to observation decks in NYC (SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, Top of the Rock), Chicago (360 Chiago, Skydeck Chicago), Frankfurt (Main Tower), Shanghai (Jin Mao...

Same!

What?!?!?! Top of the Hub was jam-packed for decades. How could there possibly not be a bar/food option at View Boston?!?!?

The fat sides of SST are boring, the fat sides of JHT are offensive (in context of how amazing it appears from other angles).

It is very sad. Lots of "culprits" -- Wu, bio-tech boom ending, overall economy (in particular soaring interest rates, high material costs due to tariffs and the fatass ding-dong in the WH), increased city affordability requirements, market correction, etc. -- I hear and read compelling...

The fat sides of SST are boring AF.

I generally agree with you and also generally like skysrapers (nice ones...), but I disagree on this point. Boston's skyline doesn't have much in the way of serious height and likely never will, but it does have an aesthetically appealing and fairly unique/distinctive "flow" and that area you...

Make it permanent (and bigger). Love this.

Which one were you referring to? It may have been obvious (was on the redeye, still pretty fuzzy), but I can't tell which of the buildings/photos you're calling out as the best. Also, why the hate for One Dalton?
