I would be more optimistic than that. The concrete substructure will likely get clad with the finished rendering arch sweeps (more curved) similar to the column at Winthrop Tower that they just installed (and then removed for some reason). Check out that thread and you might agree

You can tell it's going to be growing further towards the street (out of your computer screen) because the last steel beam in that truss has tabs pointing towards the street. Just an FYI in general for looking at steel under construction

Amazing how quickly and safely it can go when you aren't on top of multiple subway tunnels...

I would imagine those are just erection beams and will come down once the main steel is structurally acceptable to stand on its own. Tubes are way too small to be permanent I think

Not true, it started closer to beginning of 2021 with enabling work for the demo

This is correct

There is actually still a core it's just made out of steel if you look closely at the cross bracing running in the middle. Some go this route for various reasons - the hub on causeway office tower did it because it's much lighter than concrete and was going on top of the existing podium that was...

I would imagine it's due to the large cantilever and also the fact that this site probably has high wind loads - cores provide significant lateral support for the rest of the structure. Just a guess though

Yes it's going to be closed for months, I would assume starting around May

The process is to actually take each precast concrete piece down, then break it apart and smash it to pieces on the ground, then haul it away

No but there are plans being currently being bid out at the triangular site at Causeway and N Washington...not filed yet with BPDA so likely years out but it's ~40 stories
