Newcomer here. I just read an article from the Boston Globe online last week about a new skyscraper being planned for Boston:

From the article, it appears that it will be built here (if it comes to fruition):

I'm currently involved in a project centered on Microsoft Flight Simulator improving the look of Boston and the surrounding area, with specific emphasis on how Boston looks from the air, but also on landmarks 'cause people love eye candy. What I'm looking for is a place to go which would give me the dimensions in length/width/height of the many buildings important to Boston's Skyline, and pics which could be used to help build textures would be nice as well.

M.I.T. is a pretty ugly place.

This is not for lack of big name architects. The great galumphing campus with its plethora of domes and megastructure buildings was first conceived by William Welles Bosworth in a style reminiscent of McKim, Mead and White on a bad day. Since then, such luminaries as Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Eduardo Catalano, I.M.

ANNOTATED VIEWS FROM THE CUSTOM HOUSE

Boston’s splendid Quincy granite Greek Revival Custom House was built for the ages between 1837 and 1847 to a design by Amni B. Young. When built, it sat on the shore of Boston Harbor, but landfill has exiled it to about a quarter-mile from the water.

There was a ground breaking ceremony held yesterday for the Boston Harbor Residences "a $130 million project that will include 465 luxury apartments in two buildings located on the South Boston Waterfront. The first building is scheduled for completion by the summer of 2005."
