Wow - did not take long at all for that steel to come down... Curious what's happening this weekend then, with the shutdown? Maybe foundation work for the new headhouse? When you get off at Kendall I was surprised to not only find the old area walled off, but every crevice has been...

Additional disassembly of the Kendall outbound headhouse. The structure is getting down to steel, and that cement curtain wall is coming down.

Apparently they are starting to disassemble the current Kendall Northbound headhouse already. Notice today that Kendall will be closed on two weekends instead of one. (Not my photo - taken from a FB group)

Snapped some photos on the way home Temporary Outbound entrance on Main St, in "the Google building" Rooftop view of the Marriott courtyard. The old exit path is closed off, but no major (new) work there yet

Hmmmm. The new temporary exist to the Kendall Northbound (outbound) entrance/exit was cut in this past weekend. I guess the station closure for the end of the month is for demo of the old headhouse???

Curious if the tanks were ever removed or if they are still under there somewhere :)

The article gives more insight though. This also seems the reason why the 2 story building there stands. The whole think is a lease issue more than anything else - the loading dock and 'vibrations' are a bit of a red herring.

Thanks for the rendering. (Couldn't find mine quick enough). Confirms up/down construction here. Build the slurry walls and sink footings. Then steel can go up while you simultaneously dig out the dirt and build the garage downward, with the slurry walls and footings supporting the steel...

OK, got my friend who lives kitty-corner to take a photo. I think I'll be having her do so often, for this project :)

Geez, you weren't kidding about steel going up fast. Is there going to be parking under that building (up/down construction there?) Amazing what a signed lease will do. But also funny that building is going up like lightning, but the existing 2 story building, there it's twin will be...

Unfortunately no update to the design on the BPDA pages from the original rendering. https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/1395-washington-street Curious how they solved the Window problem.

Old gas station torn down this past week (Sorry, no photo yet)

In early versions of the plans, there were not any buildings that tall. Will have to search the interwebs...

Old thread - but since so many liked the atrium design, our atrium/museum exhibit is open every Friday afternoon... https://www.draper.com/press-release/draper-museum-reopens-new-exhibit-space-exploration-and-50-years-innovation-march-1

Saw that but didn't snap a pic. On the big grass area there are a ton of surveyor stakes, and they were doing core drillings in March/April. Curious when the old DOT will come down...

And April 2024, the current Lewin park is fenced off for construction to begin on the overhaul

Right now seemingly only pavement being removed. Word was the gas station building to come down.

A few years ago they admitted that the reason the existing trees kept dying is they didn't have room for the root systems, so they wouldn't replant any trees until a full park reno. Now I'm curious how those 'saved' trees will survive unless they're doing work next to them to help the root...

Weird they are saving those crappy trees. They aren't on the plans. Maybe move them as part of the reno?

Came to post the same - you beat me to it. Looks like the 'same' staircase as now but no switchback any more. Curious what kind of entrance is on the other side - the station almost looks hidden compared to the new Southbound headhouse.
