Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

While we are on the topic of landscaping, this is the recently moved Robert Burns statue in Winthrop Square (a photo I took 3 years ago). Props to the artists creative liberties with bulges...

Why Is There A Robert Burns Statue in Winthrop Square?

Shouldn't there be a statue of John Winthrop?

Burns shrinks into insignificance compared to Victor Noir's posthumous tribute at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, a memorial much loved even today by the demoiselles of Paris. Noir, a writer, was killed at age 22, shot by a cousin of the French emperor, Napoleon III.

The Fed should provide a cool left-side framing device for shots of the finished Winthrop Center from certain Seaport Blvd and Congress Street bridge viewpoints, no?

The formwork is just poking up and visible from across the channel. It gives you an idea where it will be seen from the Seaport.

4/4 from Waltham. You can actually see the building itself starting to pop up in front of the United Shoe Building.

Seems like just yesterday this was just a site with some dirt moved around, a few pipes strewn about, an excavator sitting idle and every now and then someone would post the big news of a few construction workers doing something in spite of the pandemic.

And now they've already poured what looks to be a dozen or more floors!

Was in the little square earlier today. It is amazing how closed in it makes it feel already. It will be something to see when it towers over.

This is a new view for me, I had also forgotten this is a up/down costruct as they continue to excavate the garage.

This project will likely be the future of subsidized housing for the city.

Doubt that.

This project will likely be the future of subsidized housing for the city.

You made this same wildly improbable claim way back on July 6th... why on earth do you have this bizarre fixation on seeing this project become subsidized housing?

Were you fired by the developer in some spectacularly embarrassing fashion--and thus you want to see the developer humiliated by having the housing component reduced to being subsidized/government-controlled housing?

If you had a sincere interest in interesting things happening w/ public housing in urban Boston, in terms of an innovative public-private partnership, you'd be focused on this... rather than making these wacky speculations.

 

[chrisbrat]

you may as well ask a houseplant. why is he/she saying this nonsense? b/c he/she is an asshole. end of story.

yeah, it's gonna be a 680-plus foot tall housing project in the 4th most pricy real estate market in north america.
