Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

It's about time. I sent a memo over to the contractors running this job and the Pierce and told them that all of ArchBoston has been exasperated waiting to start counting floors go up. They must have finally realized who they are dealing with and got after it.

^^Thank you for that! Can you please also tell them to take 1/2 hour lunch breaks, for even faster progress? :)
 
So now we begin.......

First we need to determine who is the "Top Crane" at the present time

Then the run to residential supremacy can start :cool:

MT eat your heart out -- it's still great to boast about while it lasts and for a while you'll still be the top house in the DTX

Anyone know how much digging is needed before the foundation slab can be poured?

According to the Construction Management Plan, excavation of the building footprint should go down about 42 feet. That being said, they are not using a slab foundation here. This building has "deep socket secant piles which tie into the bedrock more than 160 feet below grade" that have already been installed and will carry the weight of the building.
 
Yes but the slab is not going to be as large as the one used for Millennium Tower for example because it is not the main element of the foundation.

If it's secant piles around the perimeter, I wonder if it will be top-down foundation construction. That would be cool to watch.
 
This isn't going to so much break the local plateau as much as it's going to blow it out of the water. This is going to look immense, even with the Pru nearby.
 
Yah it'll be amazing to see such a tall tower going into that small lot. Should improve the look of the area a lot considering this is surrounded by numerous concrete monstrosities.

TobyJug -- Absolutely -- also hanging out next to the Fed Building it was a totally different perspective on the explosion

When the dust cleared a loud Gasp arose from the crowd -- someone shouted
"they blew up the wrong building"

Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, One Dalton Street

April 24, 2015

Boston skyline is about to add a new major feature. A 65-story tower that soars 760 ft (230 m) into the Boston Sky. TREVIICOS succeeded in securing the full foundations and site work package for the new tower. TREVIICOS will be working as the main contractor for the package under the Construction Manager, Suffolk Construction. The new tower will consist of ultra-high-end hotel and condominiums managed by Four Seasons Hotel. The tower is located in the heart of the famous Back Bay area a few steps away from the Charles River, Symphony Hall and the finish line of the legendary Boston Marathon

The project by developer Carpenter & Co. will make Boston one of only a handful of cities in the world with two Four Seasons hotels. The others include London, Shanghai, Instanbul, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

The architects shaped the building in an equilateral triangle with rounded corners, a form that is designed to mirror the geometry of the neighboring Christian Science Mother Church. Its hotel rooms and condos will feature sweeping views of the Back Bay skyline, the Fenway, and the Charles River.

The $700 million tower is founded on a series of very deep rectangular load bearing elements. The load bearing elements will be excavated using a hydromill to a depth of approximately 190 ft (58 m) including approximately 16 ft (5 m) into hard rock. The building will also include three below grade level supported by a combination of diaphragm wall and a secant pile wall. With construction that is starting imminently, the hotel and residences are expected to be completed in 2017.

It sounds from the above that we will see the building leaping skyward and getting Pru-tallish sometime by this time next year

WOW :eek:
