So this thing is finally going vertical! Hell yes!
Good to see that COVID isn't slowing this or One Congress down. Just hope South Station Tower can rise soon as well.
I dunno about anything being "it" for this cycle.South Station Tower won't begin rising until 2022, even if all goes smoothly between now and then, but (to state the obvious) each week brings us one week closer. I'm still holding out some semblance of hope for the Harbor Garage Tower, mostly because I'm a sucker for self-abuse, but that might be 'it' for this pleasantly long and productive boom cycle. (Actually, am really hoping the Motor Garage Mid-Range Tower starts up, too).
It's a tangent about whether or not it makes sense to build office and lab space in Boston given changing ideas about remote working.How does this relate to Winthrop Sq??
