Meanwhile it looks like excavation is underway for construction of Winthrop Square park.

Has anyone noticed that at night, the lighting on the "skinny" sides of the building is much more faint and less bright than on the fatter sides? Also, I think it's more noticeable because the skinny sides only have 2 slats that are lit up, whereas the wider sides have 8-10 slats. I guess this is a boring observation, but has anyone else noticed that?

huh.

I was downtown last night and didn't notice that, no.

These are from April (posted a few pages back), but they don't seem to suggest any lesser degree of brightness on the skinny side.

Beautiful Airbus H145.

Did they build an extra 10 stories to the building recently?

Some moderate editing for the drama... something needs to make up for the disappointing result.

I walked around here on Wednesday. It's nothing spectacular, but two things could change my mind:

• I want to see how "The Connector" works for retail and general urban activity/people watching.
• I want to see how the fountain turns out on the Winthrop Park side.

I had lunch at COSI next door to Winthrop Center, and I was disappointed the plaza fountain wasn't working. That's always such a nice little urban oasis in the city, similar to Post Office Square Park.

I was going to post some photos, but @SomervilleRed photos are better than mine!

As a skyline element, this thing has gone from zero to background filler in near-record time. Almost walked away from this spot not noticing it in the slightest.

It’s replaced Millennium Tower as Boston’s tallest cure for insomnia.

Youre not wrong, but I prefer Millennium Tower by a mile

Re: Pics above...I don't see this angle everyday as I live north of the city, but the skyline really lucked out by not having that chunky side wing extend the length of the building. Probably the only good to come from COVID.

I think that's really a matter of the spot it's viewed from. It's not filler from Dewey Square, as has been documented extensively in this thread, and I wouldn't say it's filler from anywhere north of Downtown.

I saw this image from some website marketing the views from Winthrop Square tower. I wonder if the new tenants will complain about the "other" Millennium tower that has no promised roof element. LOL
