I really like this building. Looks like something that would go up in Rotterdam.

Big update from this weekend

Wow, Boston looks like it was transported from England. On topic, the building's huge! Hope the facade has nice details, and not just slabs of whatever materials they may use.

This looks like a nice addition to beautiful Boston's mix of old and new as others have mentioned, and the height is perfect.

What floor is it on right now and how much higher will it go?

I think it's topped out. Notice the small top floor of the core.

The core might be topped off. It is also interesting because skyscrapers in America usually never has their core constructed first. The steel and the core follows each other. In nations like the United Kingdom the core rises first followed by the steel. See the London Shard for example. So it's interesting.

The core is topped and the steel is about level with it, but there is a ~2 story "crown" on top, which basically just looks like an extension of the floors, so it's not totally T/O yet.

Here are pics from a few days ago, and also my last update for a while since I am relocating for grad school to North Carolina!

Ok actually, THIS is my last set of pics for a while

It's nice to see a facade with some depth, texture, and shadowlines.

colemonkee · #35 Posted: **May 14, 2012, 5:50 PM**

Are those panels stone, or pre-cast concrete? It's hard to tell from the photos.

kznyc2k · #36 Posted: **May 14, 2012, 6:14 PM**

It's the real deal.....limestone!

It may not be tall, but this is certainly one of the most attractive developments across the globe.

patriotizzy · #38 Posted: **May 15, 2012, 1:34 AM**

If it's the real deal (as far as the material of the facade goes), I think I might still have hope for the future of architecture. And by the looks of it, it could be just that

Really loving this building right now. Blends so well with it's neighbors!

So my dad is a construction worker and I just found out that he is currently working on this building. A week ago he told me he was working on the new Liberty Mutual tower that was going up, and I didn't even think of this, but today he was wearing a shirt they gave him and it had a picture of the finished building on the back and I realized he was talking about this liberty mutual tower. I might be able to ask him if he can get some inside pictures if anyone's interested, I just don't know if he knows how to use a camera haha.
