This one has been coming together differently than most other Boston projects. Drilled foundations, with both steel and concrete columns, and no discernible core.

115 Fed will also get the drill..... and 2 cores (i think).

Glad to see this thing ready to come out of the ground finally. I walk by this at least twice a day, and will need to get my picture taking fingers ready.

Surprised to see some pilings outside the windows of the 'mead hall' building (90 broadway).

Is the new building going to occlude a section of 90?

^Funny how easy it is to overcome resistance to blocking someone else's view when you are also the other person (e.g., Boston Properties)

These dudes are not playing around. It seems like all of a sudden, this is moving quickly.

They had two machines peppering the site with drilled concrete piers. I suspect the compactness of the site, and the considerable utility relocation has made it seem slow.

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