I am honestly surprised it has survived this long.

Really everything St. Anthony's to UDG needs to get replaced.

Whatever happened to the proposal to build a tower at (over?) St. Anthony's? When I worked on Federal street 20 years ago they were talking about that project nonstop. I would ask if it is dead but in Boston who knows since it took about 20 years to build Winthrop Center from the time it was first floated.

I dunno about twenty years ago, but there was a Winthrop Square proposal to land swap. That one didn't make it.

For it was worth, it was a pretty elegant proposal--nicely slender and sculpted. But weird that they would've relocated St. Anthony Shrine to do so...

Has it reached the top yet?

The rising skywall (is that a word?) makes the common look really small in this picture.

Agree. The UDG building, though, that can go.

My guess is they have about 6 floors left to pour then mechanicals on top.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the thick white border around the shorter wing of the tower. It looks super cheap. The fact that the fins don't go all the way to the top probably contributes as well.
