In these pictures they are working on aap tower. However, it is in the place of the Walter tower. Did they switch places or did it change and I just didn’t know it?

As I expected, the commercial building in SmoHo2 is topping out about even with Phase 1.

Walter will be just north of this one. Between this and the captrust tower.

Yup, and then between AAP and Allscripts will be another big residential project.

Has this been announced or are you just speculating based on the master plan?

Based on Master plan, the tract of land there is designated for a large residential project. I mean, it could be office, but the master has that tower as residential.

That’s from the 9th. They did all the glass work today.

That’s where the Willard is going right?

What’s with the slanted columns? Weird that the slabs don’t follow its form. Are there going to be balconies at the corner?

Correct, the 35 story building will go in between. I’ll snap more progress photos once that project begins

Disregard this post. Read your comment wrong. Couple Beers after work :woozy_face:

I don’t get that either. The levels with the slanted columns are parking, so maybe balconies for cars?

You can probably dispel this, but I wonder if they had to design it that way due to some constraint with the foundation footprint. That whole corner is cantilevered for some reason, closer to the road.

Roadway clearance around that corner to get to front of building?? Where is garage and main office entrance?? Notice that the overhang looks like starts at 3rd floor. Looks like some sort of entrance or pass through from tower4 brochure picture.

Willard is going to the West, between Bank of America and AAP. There is property between AAP and Allscripts to the east, room enough for two Willard size towers and a large podium.

Maybe it’s cheaper to engineer it and build it this way as opposed to flying every floor slab out from the corner support column as far out as they did on the 2nd floor

Guys… the Willard is the hotel on Glenwood, the WALTER is going in the gap in NH. :stuck_out_tongue:
