Well certainly there are literally 1,000s of potential building sites in Boston proper that could be used for publically-built housing, especially with the State's powers of eminent domain. I would hope that the model used is better than, say, the Symphony-Towers style of design on Mass. Ave...

Really? Public Housing to be built by the State? Why? I don't accept that it is the Taxpayers' responsibility to provide housing. I believe that the population should be self-sustaining and provide for its own food, clothing & shelter. Of course there are exceptions for mentally ill homeless...

Oh, OK then. Posters insulting the "rich & wealthy" aren't political?

Thank God for "rich people"! If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have had a good job the past 40 years in real estate development. it allowed me to feed my family, pay LOTS of taxes so others could collect their welfare checks.

+1 Height-number-obsessed people should take their issue to a separate thread

Any idea what the City does with the hundreds of millions of dollars it gets from developers for the housing linkage payments for completed projects? And an equal amount goes into the "jobs" fund. God knows where that money goes!? moto

it opened 8/9/16

"That's correct. They had planned to share the crane between 1 & 30 Dalton" WOW!! THAT is not true!

Yes I agree for sure. Also, the soundproofing between partitions is better because the drywall is tight to the flat concrete versus having to cope around the steel shapes between units.

Not sure what Pierce was or who did it. MT was cast-in-place concrete, same as One & 30 Dalton. S & F Concrete did MT, did a fine job. G & C Concrete did 30 Dalton & is doing One Dalton. They did an impressive job on the 30 Dalton schedule: 28 floors in 20 weeks!

conventionally-reinforced concrete flat slab (not PT)

Too Funny! I actually DID drive my 911 (997.2 in metallic silver) to One Dalton today, saw that the lowest elevated slab in the core is being formed now.

of the 3 sides of this trangular foundation footprint, the only part that is a secant wall for earth retention and water cutoff only is the side up against 101 Belvidere. All the LBEs, balance of the perimeter and the interior columns are all slurrywall.

No. They installed the LBEs using the same slurrywall method that they used for the perimeter earth retention/water cutoff walls. They excavated for all slurrywall & LBEs from grade. After completion of all slurrywall & LBEs they began excavating to below the bottom of the lowest slab, say 3 1/2...

I heard that this core mat slab concrete will be placed this THU 9/29, 900 cy and 7 feet thick.

around the same time another developer agreed to do the "midrise" or "westerly" portion as described in the approved masterplan: A well-known Chicago firm.

"both 1 and 30 Dalton are by the same developer" Not True. Separate developers.

"FOR THE RECORD": First above-grade concrete was placed in a portion of the cap beam (shown with all the rebar in the photos) along Belvidere St. on TUESDAY MAY 31, 2016!

FYI: There are code and zoning reasons for the "blank" walls.

QUOTE: "This might be topped? I saw a flag on top of the core.:" Topping out is last week in OCT., have 2 more floors plus roof slab to go.
