Looking forward to seeing this cladding in person. Is there anything similar in the area?

The price per square foot for the market rate condos in this location should justify real brick… not panelling. This will be especially obvious given the proximity to the original building. One more example of a silly number of facade styles. At least it doesn’t have alternating windows.

Fan Pier Parcel H. Here is the thread: https://archboston.com/community/threads/one-harbor-shore-dr-fan-pier-parcel-h-1-harbor-shore-drive-seaport.5076/

Walked by in the last week or two. Still being used as a parking lot. No signs of movement.

Unfortunately, this was not approved at the BPDA meeting last week. The Board was “disturbed” by the letters from the community alleging that they were not heard and not treated with respect.

FAR of 4.3 on 31 acres translates to roughly 5.8 million square feet. Numbers could always be higher, but I'd be hard pressed to complain about 5.8 million square feet of new development.

Digging progress.

Looks like the Slurry is done. Another 4-6 months of digging and we should see a crane.

That is definitely a facade sample for 350 Summer. And it is gorgeous.

10 World Trade still has a crane. Though probably not for much longer.

The developer just pulled the erection permit on Friday. Looks like this one is going to start ASAP.

Maybe WS knows that if they don't start foundation work on something now, there is a chance the great Seaport crane streak will end with 10 World Trade!
