Many delays and severe engineering and construction problems as falling glass panes had a massive effect on building costs. The estimated investment volume of $75,000,000 could not be realised. </p> <br class="clear" /> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:18:43 +0200 Dennis comment 288 at http://www.ourbania.com http://www.ourbania.com/urban-items/john-hancock-tower <br class="clear" /> http://www.ourbania.com/urban-items/john-hancock-tower#comments USA Boston City/Town Centre Historical Office I.M.
