Could the Sheraton possibly be more out of scale? Also 888 Boylston is way off. I don't trust anything about this diagram except that this proposal is clearly well over 600'.
If they could start construction in early 2018 like the article says, that would be awesome and amazing.
Indeed, it will also help make up for the Copley cancellation.

^ Right, this and Viola are the most important. The one on the western side of Mass Ave would be great too, but I don't see that as quite as important; it's a little more separated from Boylston and that stretch of Newbury will always be dead.
^ I agree with all of these sentiments re: this parcel being more important than Copley
But...the loss of Copley would be more palatable if the Boston Properties designs for Back Bay station weren't such turds. Copley was going to help balance those megamonoliths. Bleh.
Has anyone considered the impact of building a platform over the Pike on Pike traffic. Pike users have already suffered in traffic jams due to reconstruction of the median (2 years) and destruction of the toll plazas. Why should the already terrible commute be made worse so that a developer can profit? I'm usually pro-development, but unless this development includes a lot more public good, I vote no.
