“As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the health and well-being of children in communities throughout Massachusetts, we are planning to modernize our existing facilities in Waltham and Weymouth, and build a new ambulatory surgical center in Needham.
The need for our services has been growing steadily, and these investments are part of our continuing efforts to ensure that patients and families have access to a full range of integrated pediatric care services in convenient settings, as close to home as possible. We recognize that patients come to Boston Children’s from every city and town in Massachusetts, reflecting the racial and economic diversity of the state. We factored this into our planning for our facilities in these locations.

A comprehensive planning process has been underway for several years. In addition, it is essential that as we emerge from the pandemic, we are prepared to meet the unique needs of all children, and that we are well positioned to continue to improve their health and well-being both now and in the future.”

Wow, way ahead of that posted schedule which does not have steel erection starting until November. They could be done in November. There must be a more recent schedule as this would be record breaking pace.
 
Yea I was actually looking around to see if it was maybe a parking garage that was going up first, but I couldnt find anything about a garage and it was in the exact spot where this building is going. Pretty weird.

I tried to find some pictures of the skeleton but couldnt find any, but I did see on buildip the tower crane base went in july 21.

The building is kind of deceiving but its only 5 stories so I guess its not too crazy that they were able to put up 2-3 stories in two months.

The only thing is when you look closer only about a third of the building has been constructed so far.
