I like the building overall, but I still can't stand when developments use the corrugated blue/green wall look. It looks like the temporary, cheap storage container crap at the Worcestor Sox ballpark and it looks bad here. Thank goodness it's only a small portion of the buidling, but it is a very visible portion to the humans at ground level.

PNF: https://bpda.app.box.com/s/xgw1afvo9289cum8ei9qlpdfohke8trb I refuse to call it "Au Bon Pain Way", especially when they aren't even there anymore. The speculative orgy of life science development is going crash at some point, right? It just has to.

I said the same thing about COVID-19, but it never seemed to happen.

The underground utility relocations are mostly done at Parcel O. So we should see some digging soon.

The ship in drydock in those renders appears to be the Titanic, albeit without its funnels. An oddly specific design choice, if you ask me.

It’s almost enough time for a reboot of Raise the Titanic.

Quick progress shot from Tuesday 12/20 on my flight out of Logan:

Still surprised they didn't use a tower crane for this one and opted for a crawler crane.

Edit: Won't let me place the full size photo in the thread for some reason

From 1-16-23 (includes photos of immediate surroundings)

Currently, this area feels like the part of the town where the bad guys dump your body. Although you can begin to feel the Seaport gravitating out there.

The render really bothers me, because not only is that ship far larger than the drydock itself, the impression is given that it's actually floating in a non-existent body of water. I kept trying to figure out whether the perspective was really from the other side of the Summer St. bridge and then flipped, or whether I was just confused. But I think it's the artist who was confused.

I think the ship may be a US Navy ship that is part of the Navy's Maritime Prepositioning Force. Some of these ships are over 900 feet long, and don't have much of a superstructure. Some are conversions of ships built for privately owned shipping companies. I believe this drydock is often used for repair / conversion of such ships.

See also Military Sealift Command, particularly list of ships in the Sealift Program PM5. this list includes ships that are 950 feet long. The South Boston drydock can handle ships that are up to 1,150 feet in length, long enough for a current day aircraft carrier, but probably lacks the capacity for a carrier's displacement.

Ginkgo Bioworks will delay their lease of the building. They plan to lease 4 floors by the end of 2023, taking the rest of the space by 2025.
