According to a marketing e-mail I just received from Millenium Tower Boston, the project now rises 360 feet above downtown, and concrete has been poured through Floor 36 while curtain-wall glass has been installed through Floor 24.

Tower itself is now easily visible from the hill just below the Park Circle Water Tower @ Park Circle in Arlington Heights

Something like this autumn view

If this thing is only 360 ft, from the park and other vantage points it already looks as tall as Arch. This building is Boston tall but it's prominence on the top of the hill is going to make it seem even taller than 680 in comparison to it's surrounding friends.....

Sorry to go off topic but the seeing the guy on the bench with his hands behind his head makes the picture look like a viagra or cialis commercial. I can only assume after you took this shot that his middle aged wife sat down next to him and snuggled and gave him a naughty grin.
 
You'd need a couple of claw-footed bath tubs for a Cialis commercial! ;)

Maybe he just has a building fetish ... and is getting it done by himself.

This is the best off-topic post ever made on this board. Well done.
 
I figured that as someone who knows little or nothing about architecture, but generally finds most of your conversations concerning architecture and urban planning truly fascinating, I had to contribute in the only way I can. :) Now back to the topic

So according to the Facebook page they've got concrete poured up to the 36th floor. How soon before this thing tops out?

My god, it's beautiful. Can an admin put that sucker across the top of the site? Maybe just for a week. That is both a perfect satire of this thread and this site in general.

More than a week. This thing should be permanent. It's archBoston in a single brilliant image.

I saw this on FB too, which begs the question: How many floors are they skipping in this count? According to Beeline's latest pics (and my most recent visit to see MT this weekend) there are 13 glazed floors above the 5 huge podium floors, and 1 indented floor. That's 19, so apparently they are making up 5 extra floors that don't really exist?

Let's think about this another way. There's what, 55-56 floors for the whole building? That's over 12 feet per floor. Even if we say the mech top takes up some of that, it's still over 11 feet per floor. Obviously, the bottom floors are humongous. So, we are somehow being sold that the first 36 floors is only 360', or 10' per floor? Including the huge podium floors?

If you actually count the poured floors instead of taking their made-up number at face value, it comes to 31 or 32 at absolute most.

Haha glad you like it! And yeah that dude's pose is what I imagine half the posters here looking like when staring at new construction projects.
