Trans National Place, also known as 115 Winthrop Square, is a supertall skyscraper proposed for construction in Boston, Massachusetts. The building was initially designed by architect Renzo Piano, but Piano left the project in March 2007.[1] If completed, Trans National Place would stand as the tallest building in Boston, Massachusetts, and New England, surpassing the 60 story John Hancock Tower by 15 stories and at least 210 feet (64 meters) to become the tallest building in the city. Although an official height has not yet been released, the building is expected to have 75 floors and a roof height of approximately 1,000 feet (304.8 meters), with a spire extending the building's total height to around 1,175 feet (358.1 meters). The tower's design also incorporates a rooftop garden, park, and observation deck entitled "Lookout Garden".
The developer is local businessman Steve Belkin, who also owns an adjoining mid-rise building, which would be torn down.[2]
As of May 2007, construction is scheduled to begin in 2008, with the opening in 2011.[3]
