Boston seems way too reluctant to build something taller than the John Hancock Tower. I think mainly because the FAA might have restrictions in place as to where to put one, because of certain flight paths.

And some of the residents are balking up, because tall building block the sunlight certain times of the day.

Cambridge should just build the tallest building then. Idk why their buildings are so short.

They are even about to build a tower that will almost equal or surpass the height of the Pru! But so far, nothing is even planned that would eclipse the JHT!

This is simply not true. Unless you have some VERY INSIDE INFORMATION and you are THE FIRST LEAK of a building that MORE THAN DOUBLES the maximum height allowed in a city with extensive review for all projects and very ant-height residents.

But, more likely than not, this is not true.

What's the name going to be of that tall triangular-shaped tower where the land was cleared near the Sheraton & Hilton Hotels over in the Back Bay area near Christian Science? :confused:

Are you sure about that? I KNOW what I'm talking about, because here's the link below, which was posted in the Boston Globe!

It is posted somewhere in the forum, but I can't find it. :rolleyes:

I think people thought you were talking about Cambridge...
 
Nah.

Cambridge has all short buildings. I know that nothing tall has....; Well wait. There ARE some taller buildings in & around Kendall Sq., but yeah, I was talking about proposed, planned or actual constr. of tall towers near the Pru Center.

Thanks. :cool:

That's not in Cambridge. One of the design firms (Cambridge 7 Associates) involved is based in Cambridge. That might be your confusion. But no, Cambridge has no plans for a skyscraper.

You are not getting what I said. You're disputing me about a planned tower near the Pru - not Cambridge. I never once said that the tower would be built in Cambridge.

Please go back and read my post a little bit more carefully. In it, the city of Cambridge was never mentioned, I don't think. I think that you got it twisted. :eek:

You were responding directly to a post about building tall buildings in Cambridge.

Cambridge was mentioned in the post that I quoted, yes, but not in my post.

But I was talking about Boston & the tall tower that is planned near the Pru.
I know that it is not being built in the city of Cambridge.

He thought that I was talking about the city of Cambridge, but I was not. And this is probably why he began disputing me so quickly.

Hopefully, this clears up the confusion on his part. :eek:

Yes, but I was talking about Boston & the area near the Pru Center. You'd think that they would automatically know that already.

I meant to, but didn't say near the Pru, and that is where I think things got mixed up. :cool:

Well, yes, we know that now.

But don't worry about it. Everyone is on the same page now.
