Good god we have spent a lot of Megapixels on this project. I think someone should do a study to see if megabyles of pictures posted equates directly to positive AB opinion.

I'm sure there is a computer program somewhere that if you took all these pictures it would render a 3D image of the building.

Thanks very much for the correction. I'm glad my cousin doesn't read AB; he used to sing choir at Park St. and would likely be miffed at me :) .
 
Primark signs went up today! Looking good!

For a different perspective, they started putting the glass up on the Washington St. side of the section that connects the two buildings.

I'm a little reluctant to gush but....hot damn!

Anyone remember anymore that this spent years and years as a rough-rubble hole in the ground??

It's up to 48 full floors. Simple math: 48/56 * 685 = ~587'.

So it's approximately as tall as 1 Financial and the Pregnant Building, and has around 100' to go! This one is now Boston-tall.
 
What floors are the setbacks at? I can't imagine we'll be without them for too much longer...

This doesn't work for a number of reasons. The floor to ceilings are higher on the upper units, but more significantly, it does not account for the portion of the height attributable to the mechanical penthouse which sits above the last occupiable floor (i.e., the 56th floor). If the reports that the height is 625 feet to the top of the last occupiable floor are accurate, then the simple math is 48/56 x 625, which comes to 535 feet. This doesn't even account for the higher floor to ceilings on the upper floors, meaning that this is somewhere shy of 535, perhaps around 525. If this is all true, we have a lot more height to go, about 160 feet worth.

It does work for a number of reasons. First off, the floor to ceiling heights of the podium floors are absolutely enormous, which offsets the top floors. Second, I believe the 56th floor stretches into that mechanical penthouse. I think 625' would only encompass 55 full floors, maybe even less. There is an old diagram floating around that seems to corroborate this.

Have you actually seen this in person lately? In case you can't tell, I have, from about a million different angles. This thing is neck and neck with the top 5 buildings in the plateau, which are all between 590-614'. I'd say it's 580' at absolute minimum.
