Hallelujah! A 20-story building that isn't pathetically pretending that it's a 10-story (or a 6-story!) building.

The core this weekend

 

[Dr. Rosen Rosen]

That’s a big core.

Hey, Dr Rosen Rosen, please take some personal safety precautions - that look from the construction worker at the bottom of the first picture…….

Anyone care to speculate what impact Amazon's announcement may have on the new office tower?

I've heard that many of these workers will be involved in robotics technology, so perhaps not much of an impact. I'll bet Bezos is dreaming of replacing all his workers with robots. They don't complain.

Thanks. That's encouraging to hear. I was afraid we might have been looking at another Filene's hole.

 

[Dr. Rosen Rosen]

These guys are so crazy. I mean one small wrong move and that 5 ton beam of steel flattens you.

Wow, that went up quick. I don't think they had even the vertical section of that last level up first thing this morning. This will be a really great addition to the neighborhood and close in the windswept area between Congress and Wharf Road

Respectfully disagree, this has been u/c for more than a year and a half. Going pretty damn slow

 

[Justbuildit]

The overall project, yes, I agree. I just meant this latest level of steel. For a few weeks it never went above eye level, including when I walked by this morning. Seems there was a lot of activity below-grade since the street-level subfloor went in, as there has been a lot of site activity with little obvious progress (except for the rising core, of course).

 

[Justbuildit]

Looks like the core is complete. They dismantled the rising platform over the last few days.

 

[Dr. Rosen Rosen]

Full steam ahead!

This one really maxed out it's footprint on Congress St. and Boston Wharf Rd., is this a good thing from an urban planning perspective??

 

[Justbuildit]

In my opinion, yes. Don’t forget that in the middle of these four (eventual buildings) there will be an open space filled with commercial and public realm amenities. I view the congress and wharf road sides as more of a street wall and parking garage access points. There will also be a large public entry in this building for the performing arts center, which will likely be the aesthetic focal point of the complex.
