3/29 Both views from Arlington. Looks like it's going to completely block the Custom House from Symmes. At least the (better IMO) Robbins Farm view is spared!

Love the family resemblance between the Alcott and the Sudbury in this shot. The way they both echo and contrast each other's appearance is like they're cousins.

I wonder how much money theyre really going to save in the end by demolishing the upper 2 floors of the garage, building a new roof deck, demolishing the overhang, building a new rear entrance, scooping out a corner to build the sudbury, building 1 congress next to and within the other side, building the 2nd residential towerin another corner, wrapping a whole new facade on the exterior and adding retail and housing. I wonder if it would have made more sense to just demolish the whole thing and start fresh.

Anyways cant wait for the overhang demo and 2nd residential tower.

I'm guessing it was done this way so they could keep the parking money flowing during construction. Just a guess. I don't even know if the garage is technically still open right now.

It's not new construction, it's just a remodel! Barely need any permits for that! /s

This is going up fast. When's it expected to top out? My guess would be Q1 2022...

This is going to be a spectacular front row seat to this building and the midrise fronting the greenway in just over a year.

Had the opportunity to drive by today, and it's absolutely massive! I was not expecting it to be so big based on the pictures...

This building will be taller than the Sudbury, so the concrete core still needs to get some more height, correct?

Definitely I think maybe another 15 stories or so.

The composition of that first shot...WOW!

Seems like this is on track to be the most photographed building since MT on Ab. Four Seasons didnt seem to have as many updates, maybe because of its location
