From Twitter: Curtain Wall Mockups

Doesn't look too bad, though it will be interesting to see how this plays out across the whole building.

While I'm appreciative of a developer providing project updates online/in real-time, their twitter feed lately is like someone trying to describe, in step-by-step detail, the phenomenon of paint drying.

(edit: and I was someone 10-12 months ago defending how long this was taking/engineering complexity, etc. etc.)

FWIW...based on some of the Tweets they posted during the demolition process, they have a tendency to post pictures that are actually a week or two behind real time. No way of knowing for sure, but their progress might actually be further along than the feed actually indicates
 
This residential alone is going to fill a major gap in the skyline, its actually pretty tall too, but then it will inevitably be overshadowed by one of hopefully the nicest towers in the city. What do you guys think the chances are of the office tower being built as its been shown? It feels like theyre committed to this iconic design, but basically every tower changes. What are the chances we get this iconic office tower as is? I know its already changed a lot to get here, but that was when they were just throwin stuff around. If this stays the same from beginning to end is that a first? 1 Dalton started off around 550’ but that was more of an rfp but since then its stayed rock solid and hasnt changed so maybe we have hope. The only change was the base of that got more detailed and the glass in person is much darker-which I like. Which also reminds me, I wonder how this office tower will look with darker glass.
 
They have been dismantling that yellow crane(?). The underground work may be wrapping up?

Slowest project in Boston

Those pictures are from March/early April as evidenced by the snow on the ground, un-foliated trees.

Unfortunately the site is not easily visible from the street so it is hard to see where they actually stand in terms of progress.

And it's awfully complicated, what with keeping the garage (as we all keep saying). I'm really excited for this one, it's a fairly handsome design and a bit different from a lot of what we've seen recently.
 
Yes good point glazed over the snow somehow...I walk by this almost everyday it pretty much looks like the pics....can’t wait for vertical progress.
 
Tower crane being installed this morning. I snapped a pic on my phone. I’ll try to upload it by the end of the weekend, provided somebody doesn’t beat me to it.
 
I actually thought I was looking at the base of the crane on Thursday but didn't want to get my hopes up. If this can get out of the ground before 1 Dalton tops off, then Boston should have at least 1 500'+ tower growing at all times for the next few years, if not longer.

I wish more of the garage were coming down. Seems like a small bite.
