South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

[Java King]

I thought that Au Bon Pain had went out of business!!

That photo showing Au Bon Pain is from the Ashkenazy website. I can't remember if the Au Bon Pain was there last week or not. As I mentioned, it looked like many of the stands were empty. I did notice the Starbuck's is no longer there.

Searching the Au Bon Pain website, South Station is listed as an active location: Au Bon Pain | South Station

The crane atop the core has to be at least 300 or so feet in the air by now. Which brings me to this question; How do they get their fuel to operate?!!

Wire. Aren't tower cranes are generally electric powered?

Perhaps it is the perspective, but that tower floor plate seems so small compared to the core.

I found a typical plan, it's a fairly large core.

Yeah, but they've incorporated functionally useful and necessary stuff, like restrooms, that you'd have to have somewhere anyway, within the core.

More detail and examples here; for instance, Floor 32 has rest rooms and a game room within the core (see slide 8):

I thought so once, but i also read that they are fuel-powered.

When the State Street tower was going up, I thought the same thing. That core was also quite large compared to the floor plate.

Picard would approve.

So would Captains Kirk and Pike.

Do not forget Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager. (later promoted to admiral and for budget reasons was foolishly cut from this past season pf Picard).

Wow, such a sight from the edge of the Seaport!

That this is a mixed use--resi and office means even more elevators and even larger core.
