Looks like a couple of the panels were already damaged.. what’s the over/under on whether they’d be able to replace them sooner than Dalton which had boarded up panels for about a full year (?) after completion.

What makes this joke even better is on Friday I witnessed them installing replacement panes for several windows at One Dalton so they still haven't even finished over there.

There’s no climbing frame on that crane. It’s getting close to the point where the crane would need a jump to maintain visibility. Is this close to topping out?

if my count is right there's still 6 floors plus mech to go, so we will probably see a climber soon

Good call Doc., just drove by, they are putting on the climber today.

Climber! As seen on Sunday morning

Those sliders, without the balconies for scale, look like they were ripped from a mid-century tract house in south Florida.

Those distance shots make this look like its going to look really good. Bonus points for blocking the white precast of pier 4 too.

My first impression of the white framing for the sliders is not good.. we'll see.

Two reactions from the latest photo batch:

1. Oh! So the white framing on the slider doors is just protective tape? If so, that's good.
2. Wow, I knew those balconies were going to be large.. but damn, they look baller for the cruel cold Northeast. Similar to the sizes typical of newer Miami beach condos.

This will be the most polarizing building in Boston if it isn't already. Gahr-rohn-tee it. Pure hate or pure love for most.
For me it's an audaciously sweet brain candy. If I had to name it? Maybe something like Sugar Frosted Dichotomies (TM). Certainly NOT good for me, but really tasty for a minute.

It's the most daring building attempted in metro Boston, maybe even all of New England, including Gehry's ever-dripping Stata Center, the numerous brutalist academic spectacles and the smattering of regional po-mo attempts.
It rips off the parochial design handcuffs. It challenges pedestrian engineering sensibilities. It flips a Big Solid Bird to the impending global-warming climate change rising tide concerns. It's a rum-soaked proximal context marker (a bloused spinnaker, yo-ho, near the Sea, yarrrrr) while completely ignoring the world it lives in (The Great Reset, Covid Shoe Drop, Peak Everything).
Every time I look at the renders I picture the Crimson Permanent Assurance crew from the short feature attached to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Please watch it if you haven't seen it. Awesome. Required viewing.

Decadent in concept and style, this will be the metaphorical mainsail pulling late-stage capitalism to full heelover. Honestly, I just hope the pilings go deep enough into the muck to support the amount of on-site hubris listing seaward to the briny deep. Avast, ye snarky dog!

Short version: Rillyrillycool!

Also -
RE: crane build for the uninformed (me): How do they do that?

1. Oh! So the white framing on the slider doors is just protective tape? If so, that's good.

When I look at those close up shots it appears to be protective tape partially covering white framing. I think we're going to be stuck with it, a surprising blemish on what's so far otherwise a stunning building.

Oh woah they finally put flexposts in on that buffered bike lane. Will hopefully make it more useful since it used to be blocked continuously.
