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

It won't be that tall...691 feet is what I've seen so far. Making it taller than MT and the tallest in downtown Boston. Overall 4th tallest in the city behind the Back Bay trio.

Peekaboo I see youuu

Let it be stated for the record that this'll be one of many good vantage points to watch this sucker rise

Those cranes are going to have to make a jump soon and the whole project is going to get way more visible

It appears the view from the Hood bottle will be the widest angle you can get of this. Interested to see how this looks from the south too...

Speaking of visibility from the South, here it is from Blue Hills (specifically Buck Hill) on 5/6. It's to the left of 1 Financial.

Wow thats going to line up perfectly.

Unfortunately it blocks a great view of the Fed from the steps, but that's the price of progress.

5/8 from Malden. It's still completely hidden from this view, but you can actually see both cranes pointing in opposite directions in the background.

Glad to see those steps in Downtown Crossing open again. I was downtown a few weeks and was disappointed to see them completely closed off.

I hate 1 Financial Center so much.
