Interesting that they are keeping the foundation of the Heralds main building. You can see new foundation forms going in on the left side of the photo.


Ink Block 8/20 NE corner ( They seem to be covering new drainage culverts)

Beeline, perhaps because the floor was designed to carry the loading of heavy printing presses.

Didn't they buy a bunch of other companies after the big dig or something like that?

They did very little work on the Big Dig. Site work and infrastructure work are two different games. They're very good at site work, but all the jobs you see them doing are <$4M foundation digs. So even though you see them everywhere, they could never do a large bridge, dock, highway, etc..

Derenzo owns an earth disposal facility. Logistically the allows them to kill the others on price as they can take dirt from a net export site and use it as fill at another.

I notice them on almost every project I walk by, or at least their jersey barriers.

Always happy since they coming straight outta Brockton.

Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

Is this an additional building or just a reconfiguring of one of the planned buildings?

only time I have seen anyone try to argue that parking will enliven a space. they should do something like this it would be easier because its not really underground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowline_(park)

Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment

Taking a cue from rail viaducts in Manchester (UK) why not storefronts built up to the height of the overpass? Would both activate the space and make it less ambiguously permeable. I could see this being a great hub for galleries and nightlife.
