Thanks for backing my idea! (although I always just said around 925'-950', but hell I'll take that 1000' any day of the week) It could have a sick restaurant and then observation deck in the top section, with the very top lit up like a beacon for all to see. The torch passes from one beautiful, reflective tower to another.
Haha no problem. I actually suggested an obelisk tower way back but as one of the North Station towers so that it would be next to the Zakim bridge.
Wow it did not take long for the debbie downers to show up on this one...
Right. So now that we can get over that hurdle, should we start thinking realistically instead of imagining big dicks and whatnot on the skyline? Because this site isn't going to support anything of that size any time soon, especially not if whoever gets the go-ahead can't combine it with Belkin's 133 Federal.
DHZ, I don't follow your correlation. 432 Park is possible because they can ask $20-95 mil per unit. That isn't even remotely possible here in Boston, what with Mandarin prices starting around $2 mil or 45 Province still being 25% empty and prices topping out around $4 million. 45 Province's per-square-foot prices top out in the $1300 range while 432 Park's *average* asking price is $6,742 psf, the highest ever for NYC. (Note asking price is not selling price, but it's all the info we have to go on right now)
So tell me how exactly does the biggest outlier in NYC real estate compare to this thoroughly average piece of Boston land? Just because da mayuh once wanted a big boy tower here doesn't mean those ambitions ever had any grounding in fiscal reality.
