Re: Back Bay Garage Tower (Dartmouth and Stuart)
It wouldn't surprise me to see Boston Properties propose some serious height here. With Transbay underway in SF, it would be quite the feather in their cap if they can pull off building the new tallest in two of the most booming, lucrative, and height-averse markets in the country, both of which have a current tallest dating back to the 70s.
You can be certain they are aware of this opportunity, and if I were running the show at Boston Properties, I would at least try. Mayor Walsh is clearly supportive of density, recently the BRA hasn't been shy about approving height despite neighborhood opposition, the site sits in the middle of the high spine and on top of a major transit hub, the FAA would likely allow 1000' if asked nicely, and the Boston market is hot.
Golden, golden opportunity.
