After decades of planning and false starts, a 51-story tower is finally taking shape over Boston’s South Station, set to be one of the city's tallest buildings.
The tower’s steel frame recently passed the 109-ft mark on its way to an eventual 680 ft, rising above the 604-ft, 33-story Federal Reserve building across Summer Street. At 60-stories and 790 feet, 200 Clarendon, better known as the John Hancock Tower, is Boston's tallest building.
