For your sake, we better hope this thing doesn't get built in Melbourne!
Why is that one building wearing a belt? Is the facade gonna fall down without it?

Assuming about here
It’ll depend on your vantage point, just like anything else. If you stand directly in front of Pierce Boston and look towards downtown, then Pierce looks taller than 1 dalton, pru, and JHT.I recall somebody saying that Winthrop Center will end up appearing shorter than MT due to the parcels' difference in height above sea level. Is anybody able to confirm whether this is true or not?

Yeah it was me. I looked at a elevation map of Boston and I believe Winthrop sits about 20-30 ft below MTI recall somebody saying that Winthrop Center will end up appearing shorter than MT due to the parcels' difference in height above sea level.

You can click on it and it will tell you the ft. When I drop the pin at Winthrop, it says it's between 70-75ft. When I drop it on MT, it's around 100-105ft. Either way, Winthrop isn't going to look noticeably higher or shorter than MT at the end of the dayI'm looking at this map and don't think it sits more than maybe 10' lower than the Hawley Street side of MT, which is where the 685' is measured from. If anything it looks like I'm comparing the 72' range to the 66' range.

I honestly don't know which map is right or wrong. If walking between them a lot is proof though, then well, I used to work at 211 Congress St. which requires me to walk past both MT and WT and 20-30 ft looks plausible to me, especially when the increase in elevation is very gradual, so I don't know what else to tell ya.Here's another map where it says that Winthrop is 7 meters above the water level and MT (by Hawley Street) and Winthrop is 8 meters. I walk between them a lot and am hard pressed to think it's a full 30' difference down that block.
