Also part of the Financial District are 33 Arch Street, One Federal Street, the First National Bank Building, 100 Summer Street, and 101 Federal Street. The area contains many of Boston's highrise buildings in a fairly densely packed area, significantly more than the Back Bay which contains Boston's two tallest highrises, the Prudential Center and the John Hancock Tower.
Recent development
There has been some recent development and construction in the area. Russia Wharf was recently completed along the Fort Channel and rises up to 395 feet and 32 stories. Construction of South Station Tower was scheduled to begin in 2009 but has been put on hold. If completed the tower would rise to 621 feet and 41 stories. One Franklin Street has recently been reworked by developers and construction on a 600 ft tower will begin in the near future. Other towers in the area such as the Aquarium Garage Development and the Congress Street Towers if approved could significantly change the Boston Skyline as well.
