401 Park Drive (née Landmark Center) | Fenway

Any time I see those solitary concrete cores completed with no floors built, I just think of the opening scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

They aren't quite the same dimensions as the legendary monoliths, but just the same, now that you've said it, that's what I see now, too.

Feels like this is going pretty slow. Heres a pic from april 2023 of the completed pit with no core. In a year all weve gotten is the core to rise out of this pit and just now a couple steel beams. The core is only 16 stories tall too, it only took 3 months to construct. It was finished by last september. So from september to now weve gotten 1 concrete floor and 1 steel floor. Hopefully it picks up now that steel is rising.

All things considered, a nice addition to the hood (from yesterday) —

I really like this. The combo of the dark colossal order "structure" and divided lights, all in neat, unjumbled rows is a little bit stern, a little bit sultry. Like that German girl that introduced you to Kraftwerk and wore fishnets with her Doc Martins.

The industrial windows really make the colossal order work. Plus black steel always looks great.

Wu was on Radio Boston yesterday and mentioned that this year is the first year that the Landmark Center would start paying taxes again after a 20-year abatement that was set up under the Menino administration - it's contributing $20 million in revenue.
