I can't imagine rehabbing an old building is something you can do quickly. Chances are they found a couple things they didn't expect once they started demoing.
There is a lot of infrastructure work on the waterside. Also, remember, this project won't have parking, so once steel starts on the condo building part, it will rise really fast and be doing the interior within months.
There is a tenant with an occupancy date for the old building. Priority goes to it. No tenants for the new building.
Also the new pier and the slab for the condo building are being used for staging. 'Haste makes waste', or in this case, the prospect for increased cost because of a constricted construction zone.
Is this still whats happening here? I must have joined AB after demolition began and this rendering came out and never knew what this project would look like when completed.
This is great! Boston is going to look very different in 5 years
