I love the last shot. I'm going to love walking down Canal street and seeing One Canal rising above the existing 3-story building. I am very happy that the existing building did not get demolished.

Can't wait for the facade to start going up. For whatever reason, in my mind it feels like this project has been going on forever.

I don't think it's just you. This one is taking a long time.

It's built over the Green Line and Big Dig tunnel, and around some vent stacks, so I'm assuming it was a pretty complex construction job.

Amen. That point alone makes this project worthwhile, despite its many flaws (soul-crushing landscraper massing; uninspired modernist blahchitecture; a harlequin mess of value-engineered/ pre-fab materials, etc., etc.)

I was over on Canal last Friday morning getting my skis tuned for the weekend and noticed they were putting in windows on the Canal St. side (the elevation clad in blue in BeeLine's second pic from the 18th). Wanted to grab a pic, but was too busy trying to park-- which was nearly impossible due to the social services center clogging the street with all their pick-up vans.

Not to go off topic, but where were you getting your skis done? Does Hilton's do turning?

I think he's talking about the lot across the Greenway from the Dock Square Garage. It's not a municipal vehicle lot though.

Ah, I see. I thought he meant they were literally parking cars ON the Greenway.
