One57 in NYC managed to have the roof mostly enclosed. Much more expensive tower, but it's not like giving the roof an enclosed look would be in conflict with the window washing rig.

And it's being built fully non-union too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i32ZpMrB2tc I'll be avoiding 57th street for the foreseeable future.

I'd be highly skeptical of the shadowstats alternate (what you call u7). It follows the same trend as the other unemployment lines, then just happens to keep ticking up during the Obama presidency. All other lines (U1-U6) follow the same general trend, while accounting for different...

Here you go... http://www.1daltonconstruction.com/ Nothing new, but probably due for an update soon.

Re: South Station Tower Gilbane actually has a development side, and have several offices. Shawmut doesn't really do high rise construction. J. Calnan is another builder that does a lot of tall buildings, as well as Moriarty, & Tishman (AECOM). Skanska & Lend Lease work both on the...

Probably something to do with our diet. Crap in > crap out sort of thing. You need more roughage.

It shouldn't be neon, and it doesn't have to be any crazy colors or alternating light schemes. A simple white works perfectly IMO, it's subtle & classy. Take a look at the liberty mutual building for instance:

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Within an office at 75-101 Fed.

Re: Hotel Tower | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I think they would only really object to something that had view to the park if it had some sort of publicly accessible area with a view into the stadium, for instance a roof top bar or pool.

Ha! I stand corrected. Don't know how I missed that photo.

AS is typical in construction, things change. That CMP is dated December 2014. There have undoubtedly been numerous revisions since then. My guess is, by looking through the CMP, the main location for the delivery of materials will be viat the north side of the building, and it made more sense...

If you look closely at the picture, the "stairway" is all the way to the right of the structure, directly adjacent to a railing. I think that would be enough to cover it.

If you look at the parcel for 45 Province, it is a very narrow lot between province & chapman st. There isn't enough room to put the core in the middle of the building. If you did that, you would likely lose 1-2 units on each floor. Now they could have put the core on the opposite side of the...

I was staring at the picture wondering the same thing!! Do we a shirt tucked into pants with a belt? -OR- Is it just a dry patch on otherwise wet concrete? I am 99.8% positive it's the former, but there is that smidgen of doubt.

It will be continuous, mat slabs have to be. No idea about schedule, and I'm going to venture my best guess on the quantity. Figuring 6,000SF site, I'm guessing a 6' deep slab, I came up with roughly ~1,300 cu yds, round it up to 1,500 cu yds for the hell of it. Very rough guesstimating on my...

Still better than Trump

If you look at google earth, just to the left of the existing bridges, there are 2 sets of 4 pilings, this is where the other two bridges sat. I don't believe I can link directly to it, but if you go to historicaerials.com, select the year 1955 and zoom in on the area, and you can clearly see...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 The developer was just selected. There is still the full design development, & approval phase to go through. Not to mention any legal hurdles that pop up. Per their proposal, these are the projected milestone dates...

Is it really that big of a deal? That can happen any time whether this building was open or not. To your point on the Hancock, there are actually two tuned mass dampers (one on either end) to counteract the twisting motion of the building.
