This is one of my work projects - Russia Wharf near the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Congress Street in Boston. It's planned to be a 31-story office/residential tower. The project stalled for a while when one developer sold the property to another for just over $100M, but it appears to be moving forward again. I drove by last weekend and the existing historic buildings (c. 1900) have been demolished except for their facades, which will be incorporated into the new design. Without getting into a debate about historic vs. modern, whether Boston needs another residential/office tower, etc., isn't it cool how they built the structure to support the facades?
And just wait until you see the new locksets!
