Hotel Manger, then Hotel Madison, then Hotel Demolished. Honestly scrolling through this is painful but I stumbled onto one pic and jumped down a quick rabbit hole. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10229616605229341&set=gm.1041881408080722&idorvanity=513744017561133...

It also has about 4 times the footprint of the office building. I would argue that is what makes it too big, compared to the height. Gigantic crappy landscrapers do not make good neighbors. They should break up the massing into multiple taller buildings.

I agree completely from a materials standpoint. However, this totally crowds out the far superior historical tower next door. While it's contextual and nothing like the abomination proposed for Kansas City (below), beautiful historical towers deserve at least a little bit of air.

I don't know if this totally applies to the point you're trying to make, but Providence has a place called "Rooftop at the Providence G" that is above condos.

It says April 2021 but it's definitely older than that. Probably from ~2013. For example, none of these are built yet, including Avalon which was completed in 2016:

1. Gilette - Foxborough 2. Fenway - Boston 3. Xfinity Center - Mansfield 4. Garden - Boston (looks like Xfinity fits a few more for concerts) 5. DCU Center - Worcester 6. This? (until Revs stadium is built) Am I missing anything? It looks like Providence has a couple (Amica Pavilion and Brown...

Not my pic but it's nice to see an updated version of the quintessential harbor aerial view. Boston Harbor Aerial by Massachusetts Office Of Travel & Tourism, on Flickr

It's a "found photo" which means I didn't take it. However, I passed along your question on flickr and will respond if/when I receive an answer from Mark.

This is a found photo but you can see one of the buildings in the district is pretty far along with construction. Providence, Rhode Island by Mark Lotterhand, on Flickr

This was officially submitted over 4 years ago. Not only aren't there shovels in the ground, but it's still going through the approval process!!! I don't understand how this even happens.

I have 2 hints for the picture above. First, it's now only the tallest because of the spire as a new taller roof-height building was built in the last ten years. Second, it is outside the city's downtown area.

I'm reposting this one because nobody guessed it. https://images1.loopnet.com/i2/fkN3CEnSZfLiF905_ihqUHf7JNCa1GVV3caA9moCus8/112/image.jpg

It's actually a supertall, 1031' in Austin of all places. That makes it the second Austin building to surpass the Hancock (first one was also hideous). The amazing thing is that Austin's skyline was about on par with Providence's at the turn of the century. They've gone absolutely bonkers...

Incredible angle and quality here. Watch in 2160 (4k), best screen you have. My favorite pause points are at 1:11, 1:18, and 1:56 (right before the switch to Fenway area).

Same guy, and angle, for this pic that I believe I posted at some point. Boston sunset from Fisher Hill-0117 by Mike Sandman, on Flickr
