Yea agreed from some points north it doesnt look amazing. From south station and parts around Franklin st and surrounds it looks pretty damn cool though. Go stand at the base of MT and see what you think from there. What does the city really mean from a hill 15 miles away anyway?

15 miles is a long way. The Arlington view is only about 7 miles as the crow flies. 15 miles using a straight line is going to be outside of the 95 belt.

looks truly topped out now, with just glass left to go up (on the facade at least).

It's amazing how tall it looks from this angle, yet not so much or even mostly blocked from others. I never new the land varied that much in height. I guess they didn't do a great job with the landfill back in the day.

Well, I don't blame them for doing only an "ok" job back when they only had these tools, and with no idea Boston would turn into a spectacle from far away...

(These images were for primarily the construction of the West End, but the same is likely true for many other locations in Downtown)

The old State Street Bank building desperately needs a good exterior cleaning.

Almost certainly true, but it was rainy yesterday and being wet makes the surface look darker than normal.

Once 1pos is fully clad the downtown skyline is really going to finally look like a good amount has changed with winthrop sq and millennium tower back there as well.

When tall buildings such as this are being built, how in the world does the crane operator gain access to the cab?!! That thing is pretty high in the air!!! Holy moly!!!
