Pretty sure that's a stylized weed leaf.

Are you sure? Could be a maple leaf and Ascend is actually an organization that helps you get residency in Canada...
Here's the company's website:

The domain name letsascend.com makes me think of Going Home from Soylent Green.

Based on the contractor's priors, I look forward to the opening of this hotel in 2068.

Wow. I can’t figure out their grift. Do they rotate one crew between all their projects? Are they Canada Geese, who migrate south for the winter?
I saw a reddit comment on r/boston in the past month where the commenter asked a construction worker if they were the only one on site and, with a straight face, they said there are 2 other people working on the Beacon St hotel.
What did we ever do to deserve this?
Oh man, that site is fascinating. The awful architecture, the bizarrely oversaturated skies on the low-res portfolio photos, the complete and utter lack of information on who exactly runs the thing.CURRENT PROJECTS | YOUNG CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

I've been stuck with contractors like this in the past who bite off more than they can chew and have only one crew to hit up multiple sites. Either they burn out or they recognize something's wrong and correct it. My gut tells me it's the former for these guys.

One or two of the projects in the portfolio aren't bad, but the rest are pretty hideous.

The domain is very appropriate: Young Con Company. Why, yes… they do specialize in cons.

Honestly, I take a peek every time I'm down that way. They had an ex? AERO sweeping wheel loader trying to lower some kind of formwork or material into the basement a month ago. Thing almost tipped in. In very nice terms, it's a zoo over there. Maybe 1-2 guys handling rusty rebar and what not. You can tell an outfit is "quality" when they leave a hardhat on the oxygen/acetylene bottles. Speaking of hardhats ... I've basically only ever seen one individual ever wear one onsite with the exception of any outside personnel.

Bay Crane is going to make a fortune on that single crane rental, if Young sticks to its schedule.

It already took them almost a week to even use the crane at all. If they do stick to their "schedule" ... the rental bill will put the one for the 600 ton at work to shame.
