Small crews will be working on various levels inside the building performing some non-disruptive work at 421 Park Drive this Saturday, July 27. In addition, both tower cranes will be operating to erect the upper-level steel. This should not be disruptive and will not require any additional truck traffic as all of the steel is already onsite. As usual on Saturdays, to help minimize noise, the contractor will refrain from using the hoist unless needed in the event of an emergency. Small crews will be working inside the building on Saturdays for the foreseeable future.
The contractor continues to remove about 30 feet of the existing garage at level four of the new building. As a reminder, because of the proximity to the 401 Park Drive daycare center, the work needs to take place from 3:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for approximately a few more weeks. This work is supported by a crane to help remove concrete within the site fence on the Harvard Atrius side of the building. This activity does generate some noise due to the saw cutting and concrete chipping necessary to remove this section of the garage. Your patience and understanding during this work are greatly appreciated. If not for the work’s proximity to the daycare center, the contractor would get this done during standard work hours. The project team will do everything they can to minimize disruptions to the community after regular work hours.
Curtain wall installation (the non-structural exterior building covering) is ongoing around the building and will continue through October. Two to three concrete placements will continue per week. Due to the size of some concrete placements, and not being able to stop a placement midway, the contractor will occasionally need to work later hours past 5:00 p.m. (sometimes as late as 9:00 p.m.) to complete them. This work is weather dependent so dates will shift based on the forecast. The project team continues to appreciate your patience with this work.
In the coming weeks, a new crosswalk will be created on Beacon Street at the intersection of Beacon and Miner Streets. Police details will be present to support this work.

Your understanding is appreciated. This activity is not expected to be disruptive to the community. Also, the week of June 24, Monday through Thursday, the contractor will be extending the height of the hoist. This work will take place from approximately 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. These later work hours are necessary because this operation requires use of all the space in the front parking lot off of Park Drive and it also impacts and limits use of the 401 Park Drive loading dock.
Please note that beginning the week of July 8, the contractor will need to remove about 30 feet of the existing garage at level four of the new building.

Concrete placements are continuing on multiple levels. Some placements, due to their size, require the contractor to work later hours past 5:00 p.m. (sometimes as late as 9:00 p.m.) to complete them. Some of these longer workdays are tentatively scheduled next week for Monday, April 8, and Wednesday, April 10. The following week, placements are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, Thursday, April 18, and Friday, April 19. Please note this work is weather dependent so dates may change. Your patience with this work is appreciated and the community will be notified of any additional long days as they are confirmed.
Steel is being delivered to the job site regularly on weekdays and the contractor continues to erect structural steel to build the frame for the new 13-story building. This work will continue through June due to some weather-related delays in March and April. Curtain wall installation (the non-structural exterior building covering) is currently scheduled to begin on or around May 9.
During the week of April 15, the contractor will be extending the height of the tower crane closest to Park Drive by several sections. This work is weather dependent, but is currently scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 17, Thursday, April 18, and Friday, April 19 after 1:00 p.m. If the installation process is not complete by Friday, April 19, the contractor will continue this work on Saturday, April 20. On each of these days, after 1:00 p.m., all deliveries will be rerouted to the 201 Brookline Ave loading dock on Fullerton Street to accommodate this work.
The contractor is not working on Patriots’ Day, Monday, April 15, and the job site will be closed.
