That hill will be even more great for pictures once 1 Dalton, 30 Dalton, 888 Boylston, The Boston Garden, etc. are all visible as well. You'll get all the projects.

Arlington -- just think a century ago it was the place that people used travel to in order to
escape the heat of the city

Now it might be time to build a hotel that provides an unsurpassed view of the city

That is.. the coolest view of the entirety of Boston I've seen! Which park?

I assume its Robins Farm Park, in Arlington.

I miss that view. Used to live a few blocks away.

Yup it is! It's on my way home from work. I have been going to that park since I was 1.

I believe that this will be the tallest building to dominate the downtown area of Boston!

^After seeing the last couple pages of pictures and confirming yesterday that this is currently at 44 floors, the roof will no doubt reach where the top of the crane currently is.

Goodbye Plateau.

Wikipedia says One Financial Center is 683 with antenna. MT will be 685, so looking at the photos (and trying to adjust for perspective) I would guess closer to 2/3 up the boom. Even though it will be the tallest in that part of town, I don't think it will be the true "plateau breaker" everyone wants it to be.

Full disclosure: Trying not to get my hopes up on this.

I don't know if this could have ever aspired to be a "plateau breaker" based on height; a more distinctive crown might have helped, however. To me the building is just another completely blah glass slab--the real value of MT will be the street activation (two years back I might have said it was also distinctive in luring a luxury residential market to DTX, but what a difference a couple years make).
