Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

Steel and deck progreesing nicely. There was a question of what the finish product would look at the columns where the rebar was flanking both sides. There is a finish condition across the street/ turnpike in the last picture. The wall is the same height as the column on both sides, the gussett plates are left exposed flush wih the concrete wall along in what will be a tunnel eventually.

Looks like some work has started at the Brookline Ave bridge side of the project as well on both sides of the turnpike. Bonus pic, a rendering of the finish product seen in the wild. Looks like the Buckminister is still remaining.

If only they could do this at the smaller triangular parcels by the Hynes off Boylston. Man those 2 parcels drive me nuts being open like that. How there hasn't been a developer that would just combine that with the garage that Kings/Bukowski is in and put a new city's tallest there is beyond me.

There were proposals in the late 2010s but they went nowhere.

Last night, I went to a panel featuring John Rosenthal (the developer) and Scott Bosworth (Director of TOD at the T). Nice guys. It was at BU’s Initiative on Cities, they have speakers every few weeks or so. Rosenthal talked a bit about the history of Fenway Center and the 20+ years he's been working on it. According to them, this site had the most potential for life sciences in the whole US. Nothing else too interesting/revealing. The deck is expected to be finished by November with a 2026 opening.
