Correct. Although it should in theory start telescoping down as low zone elevators drop off, and then office elevators drop off. I'd expect on floor toilet rooms to be replaced with amenity spaces as well.

so oddly, the climber that's clearly visible in themissinglink's photos is missing as of this morning. I'm pretty confident that despite its new height, the crane is not tall enough to clear the eventual top of the core.
High atop South Station, a tower rises - The Boston Globe
Amid a changed economy, the 51-story tower under construction above South Station is launching condo sales and leasing office space.

Everything starts above the 11th floor? Is there just dead space until that level? Where’s the parking?

Its not "dead space" below the 11th floor; its this: "Beyond the office and residential tower, the first phase of the South Station project includes an expanded bus terminal and an upgraded train concourse."

You're not wrong and an upgrade to South Station being nice for all travelers to enjoy, but this scenario is not unique.
If we consider the other three recent luxury towers in town, 1 Dalton, 1 Franklin and 115 Federal, their immediate exterior locales feature various flavors of urban grit: be it the functional/ BOH side of the Pru and back of CSC, DTX in general (including that lousy parking garage under 33 arch), and a tucked away corner of the FiDi (though in the third case the soon-to-be park in Winthrop Sq *might* differentiate on the western face of 115).
