Why is the trunk so thick?? It looks as though the units are actually built right into the elevator shaft?

How many elevators are in that core? Is this building tall enough for segregated elevator access?

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the tallest building U/C in Boston right now, yes? In fact, it's the tallest since Atlantic Wharf was finished a couple years ago. How tall is this again exactly? 320?

According to Emporis, Jacob Wirth is supposed to be about 340 ft. Of course, that one might not officially be under construction yet.

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
Anyone have any thoughts on the reasons why this is moving incredibly slow? Is that by design? If so, why? Does a slower construction schedule save the developers money? Certainly the core should long be complete by now even if it is a huge one.

Why? Most buildings don't build their whole cores without any steel. In fact, I have never seen this in my life until the last couple of years. It seems to be moving at a pretty normal pace as far as I can tell.

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
There seemed to be a ton of below-ground demolition/reconstruction that delayed this project's sprouting from the ground. Since we've gone above ground, they seem to be going pretty steady. And I've definitely seem people working their on Saturday's, so there has definitely been weekend work going on. Also, the fact that there are a couple of thousands of apartments/condos in the immediate vicinity might be forcing them to be a bit more methodical in their work.

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
Can the construction manager play a role in the speed ofr a project? The CM on this project is Moriarty, who is also doing the Longwood Center project, another project that seems to be taking a long time. As I recall, Moriarty also did Atlantic Wharf, which was a fairly long project, but one that ended up with a nice finished product.
By comparison, projects managed by Suffolk seem to fly out of the ground.

Again, both of those cores shot up without any steel at all. Most buildings do NOT get built like that. Usually, the core stays a few floors ahead of the steel, not the entire building ahead.
