Re: W Hotel
Its not "very wide" I believe it's going to be 22 floors right? thats really not that wide at all. Of course it COULD be slimmer but I'm gonna disagree

Re: W Hotel
I'm impressed at how fast a steel building goes up once the foundation is laid. My guess is that this will top off in late September or mid October. Now if they would start building that ticket office/condo across the street, that would be cool.

Re: W Hotel
Gona be a fun summer for strolling and looking up and high steel and cranes
I was down in the W area today taking some pix of the Celtics Championship banner atop the old Hancock
One interesting pix that I sort of got was is the reflection of the banner in the glass of the "New Hancock"

Re: W Hotel
That was the first thing I did when I saw that pic...beautiful shot bostoncitywalk.
Does anyone know what's going on with that cool building that is supposed to be built directly across the street from this one? I forget the name of it.

Thanks for the compliments. I was lucky enough to be up in the Radisson again today. Here are a few daytime shots:

Re: W Hotel
I can't wait to see the glass go in on this. The few renderings we have of this show that it has potential, but doesn't show enough to get too excited. And everything else going up around the city is mostly brick, so this is a nice change of pace.
Oh wait..it's glass. Solar glare. Watch out!

Re: W Hotel
Are we all in agreement regarding the lack of height of the proposed building/billboard proposed on the current (former) site of the ticket trolley? The W's affect on the intersection is thus far drastic, to say the least.

Re: W Hotel
WOW, looks like a true skyscraper city. This tower will look nice, and will actually extend the skyscraper zone. Hopefully, as bosdevelopment said, we can have a skyscraper across the street at the ticket trolly to make a beautiful "skyscraper gateway" into downtown Boston. Plus, the project doesn't look like it has a huge footprint the more it rises, seems like its mitigating its huge ground level presence well (the lot may look big at ground level, but it seems like this is just right for a tower this size).
