The contractor is targeting Monday, August 26, to open the new loading dock at 421 Park Drive. After this date, all construction-related deliveries as well as all deliveries for 201 Brookline Ave and 401 Park Drive will be received in the new loading dock. Trucks will enter and exit the loading dock area via Fullerton Street. Once the new loading dock is operational, work will begin to demolish the existing temporary loading dock located on the Park Drive side of the work site. This work will generate some noticeable noise and is expected to take about two weeks.
Small crews will be working on various levels inside the building performing some non-disruptive work at 421 Park Drive this Saturday, August 3. In addition, the north tower crane will be operating to erect upper-level steel. This should not be disruptive and will not require any additional truck traffic as 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.
On Thursday, August 8, the Boston Fire Department (BFD) will be conducting a fire alarm test at 421 Park Drive at 6:00 p.m. Neighbors may hear audible alarms as part of this test and BFD trucks and staff will be on site.
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 two 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 is 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 is doing everything they can to minimize disruptions to the community after regular work hours.
Curtain wall installation 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. 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.

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.
