Atlantic Wharf begs to differ.

Atlantic Wharf begs to differ.

I wouldn't consider Atlantic Wharf a skyscraper. A high-rise at best, it doesn't even break through 400 ft and is shorter than the Harbor Towers.

Honestly, I don't consider either to be skyscrapers. I still consider State Street Financial Center to be the newest skyscraper in the city - now 10 years old!

I call Atlantic Wharf and 33 Arch high-rises, but that's just me.

Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's

If it is under 400', I personally don't consider it a skyscraper.
As far as everything going on, I want to get excited...I really, really do.
I'll get excited when I see piles being driven into the ground and steel rising.

Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's

According to the Merriam-Webster Concise Dictionary a Skyscraper is a "Very tall multistoried building. The term originally applied to buildings of 10–20 stories, but now generally describes high-rises of more than 40–50 stories." Whereas a high-rise is a "Multistory building taller than the maximum height people are willing to walk up, thus requiring vertical mechanical transportation."

Don't know how to embed video...

If you just post the regular youtube link (not the youtu.be) with no tags, it will automatically be parsed and embedded into the post.

A building isn't considered a skyscraper until it reaches 495 feet.

Out of curiosity, is that a thing, or just your thing?
