Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

You understood me wrong now your off topic, anyways this is looking great and I cant wait to see how the crown turns out because that is going to be the make or break piece of the puzzle on this one.

This is pedantic, I'm sure you knew what I meant though that's why I used the term "epicenter" to describe Boston - in case somebody made your argument. Even if you nix all those satellite cities Boston ranks 10th with 4.5 million. Providence ranks 39th, Worcester 59th, and Manchester I don't think is even in the top 100.

Don't get me wrong I have no complaints about the pace of development in Boston of late but saying we're doing better than these cities would be like the Red Sox congratulating themselves for beating up on the Lowell Spinners in an exhibition game.

I was being pedantic, sorry about that.

That's fine not like I've never been pedantic before and now I'm just being nit picky. Back on topic I agree with Stick n move about the crown. A stubby flat top will really be a buzzkill atop that sexy curve.

I walked by this last week and there are tall bushes that block out a lot of the view of where the blank wall is going to be. It was actually a really nice area and I was blown away by how nice this entire development is turning out after hearing the complaints. I didn't see anything here to complain about. Positive gain for the city and area especially how the colors tastefully echo state street but in a very different yet complimentary design.

Agreed. I have the same opinion and experience as I've been walking by this as I head to my new favorite Chinatown restaurant.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I actually thought this was topped off but it's clear from my previous pics and geep's second pic that the core still extends 1 floor above the steel. It's nice to think that we still have a little bit more to go!

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

How's the wall of death coming along?
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

Would be a good spot for a mural.

I didn't even question their orientation. It's a typical Boston02124 post! Always flipping us sideways, backways, rightways, leftways, upside-down... ;-) I've seen the city and its buildings from angles I never imagined through your photos!

I also have photobucket and sometimes it does this to me. My way around it is to create a copy of the file and then upload the copy, and usually it works correctly for that one.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

Thanks for all the photos.
I'm pleasantly surprised by this building.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I like the setback up top.
I think my biggest issue with this building, as it comes together, is its drabness. A little more color would work wonders here, though that will be less of a problem at night when the crown is (presumably) lit.

Mmhmm. A little color here could have made it into a permanent mural on the Greenway. Imagine the MassArt tower here.
