Diagrams on Skyscraperpage
When you type Boston (+Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Brookline, Quincy, Chelsea, Newton) into Skyscraperpage's diagrams page and search for buildings under construction, this is literally the entire list of buildings it shows!
![]() This is something that has been bothering me for a while, and I don't want to be the only person who ever follows up to get it updated (Odurandina, where are you?!). Appropriate backup on the heights is needed and it can be a pain to be the only person looking for it. Buildings that are missing completely over 200'.... Topped out: Northeastern Dorm - Columbus Ave Student Housing (272') Julie Hall Emannuel Dorm (~205') MXD Cambridge (300', or possibly 314' according to Odurandina) Well underway over 200': Echelon, ie M1-M2 in Seaport (~260', x3 separate towers) NEMA Seaport (~250'-260') Marriott Moxy (273') MIT's 5(?) tower project East Campus (highest dorm tower is 381', unsure about rest but all over 200' and up to 295') Mass + Main Residential in Central Square (~205') More under 200': Education First Cambridge Northpoint blocky thing Cambridge Six West Broadway Hotel South Boston There are also some issues with the proposed section for anybody who wants to continue to fight the good fight, but for now it's really glaring to not have any of these above buildings listed when they are all out of the ground, many topped out! |

Re: Diagrams on Skyscraperpage
Those diagrams are usually set to only show buildings with diagrams and the list is updated based on posts requesting updates by individuals with accounts on the website and the diagrams themselves are made by anyone who wants. For example I created the images for 3 of the 5 buildings shown their and to create the higher quality renders it takes a lot of time and for me currently I don't have the time anymore to put into creating diagrams.

I mean, there are literally 10 buildings over 200' that are out of the ground and growing, and only 2 of them are on that list. (missing 4 seaport, 2 Kendall, 1 Central Sq, and Marriott Moxy) It's also obviously tough that those 3 topped out buildings over 200' aren't on there either. I will start chipping away at it if nobody else will help, but it's just surprising that it was able to reach this point in the first place. |

Re: Diagrams on Skyscraperpage
I made a few requests and it looks like somebody else made one, so the diagram has improved to the following. Note I also just requested Marriott Moxy to be added.
![]() I still need help finding the correct heights for the Northeastern Dorm, all Seaport construction, and all the MIT Kendall construction. Then there are all the buildings in the South End, Southie, and North Point, mostly under 200' but over 10 stories. Also note that the below diagram is for buildings completed in the area since 2016. It's missing some key ones! Seaport Parcels B and C (Via and The Benjamin) really jump to mind. ![]() It will be very appreciated to get some help here and get the missing buildings added to the list! |

Re: Diagrams on Skyscraperpage
There's a lot of great info you're looking for in this link below DZ, especially for buildings in the Seaport area:
http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/comp...put%5B%5D=list As for MIT Kendall heights, I listed that in the 4th post above. |

Re: Diagrams on Skyscraperpage
In the Emporis and Wikipedia links I've posted above, there are a lot of original sources listed at the bottom of most pages (most of them from cambridge.gov).
