I assume the heavy steel frame is where the base of the crane will sit.

This is going to be another north station tower. Average materials, average massing, great result.

Average materials and massing done appropriately can be beautiful. It's when things are too complicated and nonsensical for their own good, is when this board freaks out.

Thank you for the pictures. The concrete pour was done yesterday, and according to the webcam, it looks like the crane(!!!) might be going up today! Workers on site from this morning, and check out the bottom of the feed!

Drove by this today and was impressed by how small the construction area is. It looks a lot more constrained in person than it does in these pics.

There's one for 345 Harrison but the angle isn't great.

I'm surprised they haven't installed the crane yet on this project. It looks like there was a platform installed for it but it's not up yet.

I am guessing this weekend or next. They formed the second floor deck with a hole for the crane.
