Totally agree but let’s blame Simon Properties, not the building itself which would have been glorious!

Probably not with today’s market conditions. Will probably be a very long time if it does.Any chance for Copley tower to be resurrected from the dead?

There's still hope.Thats the problem though, the air rights expire after 10 years. Were coming up on 6 years since it was shelved. The height was grandfathered in with the new shadow laws, but once it expires its impossible to build tall on the site ever again.
Thats why ppl were suggesting that simon should sell the air rights/development to someone else who can complete it, because they dont have time on their side to go back and try again later on down the line. The thinking is if they sold it they actually get something out of it vs absolutely nothing as it stands now. You would think they could make many millions of dollars by selling the rights to the last copley sq parcel left capable of going over 600’ of residential.
Its pretty weird that theyre just going to sit on it until it expires and get nothing out of it, but who knows maybe they were told behind closed doors that the grandfather clause is void if transferred. Nobody knows but time is running out and pretty soon its going to be completely dead with no chance of ever coming back. Sucks.

What a great angle/shot this last photo is! Once Raffles, One Congress, and if it were stretched a little more to the right, Winthrop Square, are complete, this could be my favorite skyline angle showing all of the tallest buildings.
