I cant wait to see the big crane go up.

I unpinned this because there were too many threads pinned, it was getting out of control.

Thanks for the update photos. Looks like we're a looong way from seeing much there...

What does "pinned" mean anyways Looks like that shinny new camera of your is working just fine.

Everytime a topic is posted to, or a new topic is created it shoots to the top of the list and older topics get pushed back, eventually off the front page. 'Pinning' a topic keeps it at the top of the page, regardless of how often it's posted to.

This doesn't really need to be pinned as it is active enough to not slip off the front page.

Hopefully the mall will clean their windows by the time there's some glass and steel to photograph.

I noticed that too since I went around taking photos of the future project sites last friday.

Sure

Although most of the pictures are very similar to the ones you have: GTech, Masonic, Parcel 2

I have some of Holiday Inn, 55 Broadway & Fogarty

Bring 'em on, whatever you got. They can be in addition to or instead of mine. I'd like to have as many members as possible submit pics so the thread can be more of a collaborative thing.

Also, as the projects start to breakground I'll create threads where everyone can submit their progress photos. Should be exciting!

ProJo Article on GTECH.

The Capital Centre Design Review Committee members reviewed a 22.5 foot tall mock-up of the buildings exterior materials (metal, glass, and stone) yesterday to see what the materials will look like on site.

I think I've seen this structure set up on the river side of the parcel, though I haven't walked up to get a close look at it.

Expect a tower crown and steel to start rising "next month." The project is running on time, and they do not expect to be the cause of any disruption to this summer's WaterFires.

If you walk along the river toward the mall along the GTECH side (where it currently dead ends beside Francis Street), you should be able to get a pretty upclose look at it.

Expect the steel to start going up mid may.

There was a lot of dust blowing off the site Friday afternoon. It's been a mud pit for months and now it's a dustbowl.

It's also reflective... I think we were all hoping that some of that G-Tech glass would reflect... Now I'm not so sure .

That's the Hancock silly.

[Cotuit]

It looks like there are forms in the ground at the corner of Memorial and Francis for the foundation work to start. There are already some foundation walls along the Waterplace side, however they may not be for the building itself.

Damn, why do I always get those two confused?? Must... learn... Boston... better...

This giant yellow thing arrived at GTECH (today, I think, I don't remember seeing it this morning on the way to work). I assume it has something to do with erecting steel...

[Frankie811]

Are you sure this isn't some new RISD art display
