About time. We've been waiting for this one since 2015.Permit Pulled for Landmark Back Bay Office Tower
“A permit valued at over $362M has been pulled to construct the approved 600,000+ square foot office tower at 380 Stuart Street in Back Bay. Situated in the center of Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, 380 Stuart is an intelligently designed 642,000 SF, 28-story office tower with private terraces, an indoor-outdoor roof deck, elevated amenities, integrated, touchless building systems, and enhanced health and well-being measures…..”
You can always count on Skanska to get things done.
I think they just mean lots of other Boston projects: 101 Seaport, 121 Seaport, Watermark Seaport, Simmons Campus Redevelopment, The Harlo, 2 Drydock, Novartis Campus Cambridge, EF Headquarters Cambridge...What have they gotten done?

Skanska is uniquely vertically integrated. They often self-finance. And they are both builder and developer.

"With many of our projects being self-financed, it gives us the flexibility and freedom to make impactful decisions, desired improvements and necessary changes quickly to benefit our clients and the overall project."
It doesn't change your point that there may not actually be a groundbreaking any time soon, but it is also not trivial that this is a Skanska project versus just about anyone else
(I think their 2023 revenue of $15billion and current bonding capacity of $10billion isn't hurting their ability to self-finance either).
We all know you already know everything, but when you say things like "what have they accomplished?" and "they don't have financing," I thought it might just be useful to remind you of what you already know.I’m more than familiar with their track record. I was pointing out that this is not likely indicative of the project actually happening. They’re not going to self-finance a $600m project without even a hint of demand. I think it’s more likely they got the permit to assist with selling the project and the property.
