South Station Tower, over 600', who knows but saw a new rendering recently

Aquarium Garage, the developer is becoming desperate so we may see some reconciliation with the mayor, could be 600'+

Congress Street Garage, plans for a 600'+ tower by like, 2020 anyway

Christian Science Center, expected to begin building a 500'+ tower within the next couple years

Also a 35 story hotel tower was just for Trinity Place near Copley Square.


It looks like the tide might be turning for Boston. Assuming the economy doesn't drop back off a cliff, we should be about to enter the city's most substantial building boom of the past 20-30 years. There is also still a lot going on in terms of (relatively) tall infill with the colleges, hospitals, and tech/resi's in Cambridge.

yeah, i know about the Copley one and the "hole in the ground" at the Filenes site but the others are no where close to fruition and in Boston, my money is on the side of none of them being built, except for more 25 story buildings. What ever happened to Menino's 1000 footer he wanted in Post Office Sq? now THAT is what the skyline needs, something not the same height as everything else. A supertall in the financial district would be fantastic, BUT it is Boston after all so unless there's enough graft involved, nothing will happen
