That would be interesting, because it seems like Boston has largely kept out of the serious-skyscraping game. Even nimby-paradise SF is jumping in with the Transbay Terminal.

Boston locals, can we get some updates?

I was in the city yesterday, and managed to hit a couple sites. The Filene's tower was still a hole in the ground with no activity.

ArchBoston has much more regular updates on these and other projects.

Millenium Place III, The Hong Luk Project, The Kensington, and Liberty Mutual are all completed or topped out.
The Copley Place Tower is on hold but may start within the next year or so and the Filenes project is supposed to start very soon.
