State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

So just to set the progress straight... this broke ground in ~August 2019? And the construction is going at a good pace?
 
From what I can see, this sample looks finished down to the unknown stone base. Nice reflection of clouds in the glass. Taken today.

Really transparent glass, should make the tower feel light and airy, I think itll look great.
 
Very similar to the glass as at 121 Seaport it looks

Taken today. I’ve previously posted photos of this set up located in the parking lot of Suffolk Downs in the Revere thread. I’m posting them here now because I’m pretty sure these are the samples for One Congress (if I’m overstepping, please move to the Revere thread). The sample on the left is new and still being constructed. They disassembled one that was previously in this spot. The one on the right was created with the original about six months ago. You can see in this new sample the curve (sail) of One Congress. HYM now owns Suffolk Downs so I’m not sure why they are putting them here, maybe lack of space on site.

Why do you think these are for State St HQ rather than the construction at Suffolk Downs?

Navigator -- if you look at the render of the One Congress tower -- kinda looks like these windows would fit

Besides -- Since the end of Amazon II -- nothing much is happening from the development side at Suffolk
 
So this thing quietly went vertical this week.
There are now three massive vertical steel assemblies poking over the top of the garage. I saw them go in the other day as they were hoisted up and over the external garage wall and into the garage structure.

Semass -- I'm betting the stuff you saw hoisted into the garage is part of the process of tearing down part and reconfiguring the remaining part of the garage. Somewhere in the midst of all that there are foundations to plant for the the Tower to go vertical -- my guess is sometime in the Autumn
 
Sure looks like steel is rising inside the garage.

Beeline looking at the columns inside the parking garage and the photo on the poster -- the columns inside the garage must be some of the columns seen between the curved glass exterior panels ?

Sounds like there is going to be some excavation going on in the foreground of your 1st, 7-10 pix
 
The slurry plant is now disassembled.
I think this is moving faster than some of you may expect.
 
Yup, they were rolling with this one as soon as they got the go-ahead at the beginning of the week.
 
I was under the impression that only residential and infrastructure was currently allowed, so I do have some confusion about this. However, from a skyline perspective this is the single most important building we'll get in the next 5+ years, so build baby build!
