Elevator core at 1350 Boylston Street tops off

1350 Boylston Street's elevator core has topped off. At the top of the elevator core is a decking system that was used to frame pouring of concrete to construct the core.

Construction of 1350 Boylston Street's 17-story steel superstructure has begun. The first pieces of superstructure steel have been installed at the building's base.

At the base of the parking structure, the construction team is assembling a PERI Skydeck system that will be used to frame pouring of concrete to construct 1350 Boylston Street's superstructure. A similar system is being used to build Pierce Boston, a 30-story tower also under construction in the Fenway neighborhood.

At the parking structure's base are the walls and yellow beams used to build the Skydeck system

Concrete for 1350 Boylston Street's mat foundation has been poured at the base of the parking structure. Additional foundation concrete is now being poured vertically along the sheet pile wall. With foundation concrete poured and superstructure construction underway, 1350 Boylston Street's horizontial foundation support system will soon be dismantled.

Tower crane installed at 1350 Boylston Street

A tower crane has been installed at 1350 Boylston Street, signaling the impending start of elevator core and superstructure construction. When we arrived at 1350 Boylston Street, tower crane installation had just been completed. The crane used to build the tower crane was parked on site.

A second smaller white crane was also present, presumably to lift the excavators out of the nearly fully excavated parking structure.

At right is the larger white crane used to build the tower crane. At left is the smaller white crane, which has presumably just lifted the yellow excavator beside it out of the parking structure.

Excavation of 1350 Boylston Street's foundation and parking structure is almost complete. Foundation concrete will soon be poured along the sheet pile wall and the base of the parking structure.
