Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's
There are a few of other tower icons:
1) Custom House
2) Old John Hancock Tower
3) I don't much like it but International Place is iconic especially from the Harbor or East Boston
4) R2D2
5) old Bank of Boston with its Pregnant Belly
Finally the Pru itslef -- in an ugly iconic way
None of the above are infill
I am blown away how people can complain about this absolute gem that we are about to get built in Boston after all of these years of being let down and in all reality only having one true icon tower the John Hancock. Our street level is on a different level, but lets be honest our skyline is almost all filler with a couple stand outs. Can you imagine if things like these were proposed and built today how much outrage there would be.
We are about to upgrade from North Korean filler to gems like the Filenes Tower, Copley Tower, South Station Tower, Christian Science Tower. I am extremely thankful that we are actually getting what we have deserved all this time because Boston is a world renowned city and the skyline gets blown out of the water by nobodys all day every day and thats unacceptable.
