Maybe we will be treated to more pictures soon if Piano's website updates its Boston section in the coming days, though I find it odd that it isn't up yet.

Does the rendering show a proposed extension off the back of the building? It looks a little taller.

Why was the height zoned so low for a location where the nearby Christian Science Tower rises 370 feet?

They are in the process of revitalizing Hong Kong's old Kowloon Airport but the process has been stymied by government regulation and environmental concerns. If Hong Kong is having problems, imagine how long it would take in Boston. I believe that they (Hong Kong) want to include a sporting...

With all this talk about 1000 ft. towers circulating around, I hope that this area is now under consideration as well.

I'm curious to see the density and height of this development.

I believe that a tall tower would be good for the area. The Nashua Street Residences are going to start construction in the next year. If more towers are constructed by the Garden, this lot would be a great place to draw the skyline together. It would also look quite sleek having an 800ft...

With the lack of large differences in height, I hope that the buildings are well spaced across the lot so that it doesn't look like one large mass. I wished they had built the plan from the eighties, too bad the market fell threw. Though I guess we should be happy that we are at least getting...

I hope that we get so world class architects like SOM or Foster. It would be a little ironic to have Pei design a new tallest and recently (like most of his work) all his buildings look the same. I wouldn't mind having Calatrava and Gehry proposals, but I personally find their designs to...

It looks a little tall, they may have to scale it down so it doesn't block the runways at Logan! :lol:

If the Winthrop Square tower does get going it will most likely be primarily office. This is another reason I believe the tower at Filene's should be primarily residential.

:D That's great news but I would hope for a larger residential component. I think its time that Boston sees towers that are primarily residential that top out over 400 feet. If there is such a demand for housing, than why not build all residential towers? We don't need mega tower complexes...

I remember hearing about this development about two years ago now when the Phase 1 report was concluded in September of 2004. Since then, I haven't heard much. The BRA website says the project has been under review by the MTA for almost two years and that the BRA and the South Bay Task Force...

I have known about this forum for a while though I just never posted. I find it as an informative resource on Boston area development. Also about this project, I heard the condo mid rises are supposed to be around 120 feet tall.
