Anyone hear any word of when work will be resuming on this?

WCVB just reported that work on South Station Tower has the green light to resume work.

Seems like zero movement since Thanksgiving

No. I understand and agree with you. I just think both IP buildings have an older, dim type of lighting. I'm not saying it should be replaced with some "blinding" type of light, but something more vibrant. The current lighting is very soft.

Agreed - my point was the type of lighting they use could be better though.

It would be nice if 1 International Place updated its lighting. I swear they use standard floodlight bulbs I have in my back yard.

Agreed. Also, not part of the building, but the Pru has the huge antenna on top, which adds a little something too. I believe the antenna goes up to like 925' or thereabouts. And the Pru's crown is the most noticeable thing on the skyline at night. SST will be no Pru.

It's so weird leaving Boston and going somewhere like New York, Chicago....even Atlanta or Charlotte. Their buildings are so prominently lit up, it's nice to see. Here, our dark skyline just adds to the feeling of sleepy old Boston.

That's what I was trying to say - it HAS caught up.

You would think. I'm here today (10/26) and you cannot see the core anymore.

I'm all for change. More so than many folks on this forum. But I'd rather nothing over a dated-looking POS eyesore that we're stuck with forever.

I would never use CarGurus simply based on how ugly these buildings are and how they've ruined the view of the drive in Eastbound on the Pike. Absolute garbage.

Yes, packed for weekday lunch. Otherwise, not so much.

Nice in the sense that it's new, modern and smells like a new car. But otherwise, sterile and underwhelming from what it was supposed to be...

Where would you estimate the core to be right now? About half way up?

So it looks like the top will be illuminated similarly to Atlantic Wharf?

Interesting to see the "built" perspective! Thanks for posting that. But oh my...can we just get *one* unique, differently-shaped prominent/tall building in the skyline without a flat roof? Just one? Imagine something like the Shard in London here, how awesome that would be...

Has anyone noticed that at night, the lighting on the "skinny" sides of the building is much more faint and less bright than on the fatter sides? Also, I think it's more noticeable because the skinny sides only have 2 slats that are lit up, whereas the wider sides have 8-10 slats. I guess this...

My god. The roof (esp. the clock) is hideous. It looks like it was designed in 1993.

A) No B) Pretty sure it's impossible to "ignore" a soviet brutalist monstrosity The trees in the plaza are lipstick on a pig. Dollar Tree brand lipstick that causes rashes and swollen lips.
