Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

I think you might be confusing the view with this:

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

I was thinking that too. The Federal St connection to South Station from the Financial District is. I'm not sure how it wasn't changed to ped only ever

I certainly was! Sorry I didn't bother to click on the Google link DZH supplied.

Like DZH, I've walked through that very narrow passageway separating 133 Federal from 155 High/10 High and 100 Summer many many times. In normal times, on hot summer afternoons, it's a delight--133 Federal Plaza will be filled with lunchers, with its fountain blasting--and so will 100 Summer St. Plaza.

And, its zig-zag nature reinforces how wonderfully non-gridiron, non-rectilinear Boston can be. Even its mightiest Downtown office towers had to conform to the layout constrains imposed by the "cow paths" (even if they weren't cow paths) from colonial days, in order to get built.

As the saying goes...

4/26 It's starting to show up, to various degrees, from points across the river.

4/28 from Somerville Ave, Cambridge/Somerville line, to the left of Millennium Tower, looks like you can just see the orange poking up (not to be confused with top of Landmark building at 160 Federal).

This will completely dominate the view from South Station tbh

4/28 Sad to think we'll completely lose the view of United Shoe Building (aka Landmark, not to be confused with Fenway one) from the river.

Crazy how tall it is yet its still so hidden. Gonna be pretty cool when it finally pops.

^I have been thinking the same exact thing. Downtown buildings are not as tall-challenged as some here think they are.

Shame this building isn't in front of Tremont on the Common instead of right behind it.

Miles of views from across the river. This isn't behind Tremont on the Common in earlier posts on this page, also from the river.

This one is downright Manhattan-ish! I swear that could be 6th Ave in Midtown

Will this tower be taller than the Pru? That one has 52 floors & is about 750 feet tall.
