This is so bland.

I'm not particularly crazy about the design itself, but I'm definitely glad this "gap" in the skyline is being filled.

What do we think.. flags on the core mean it's more or less topped out?

Is the glass now moving glacially slow?

See Winthrop and St. Street's "fins."

What do we think.. flags on the core mean it's more or less topped out?

Based on the diagram that DZH22 posted (Post #910), there are 4 more floors (3 of which are already in place in terms of the core), and then the fairly sizeable crown.

Can't wait untill the Copley tower, Back Bay residentials, and Columbus Center make this shot unrecognizable. That said, beautiful photography again Z. That penthouse on top of Mistral at 223 Columbus is just spectacular.

Hey, it hides the bulk of Copley Place from that angle. That’s an improvement.
