Above: Looking down (right side) at the garage connection that will be underneath the Arrival Lobby. The crews are completing the waterproofing layer that will be underneath the concrete. The final site excavation is taking place at the top right corner, where a room will be built below grade to house electrical and mechanical equipment. On the left side of the image above, crews are placing a temporary shoring deck to create Building A’s Level One. December 10, 2025.

Above: The last of the remaining below-grade concrete walls and columns are mostly complete at the Garage Level, which connects Building A to Building B. Crews are pouring these final walls above. The temporary shoring deck is nearly complete, forming the cap of the garage below the Arrival Lobby. The work above shows crews removing large red blankets that protect the site from snow. Completing the last portion of the below-grade components is a significant milestone for the project. December 30, 2025.
Above: The southern end of Building B is rising quickly, with the elevator tower core already in place. Crews are currently working on setting plumbing sleeves and steel rebar for the formation of Level Five. December 30, 2025.

Soon, they will be ready to place the PT-cables and then pour concrete. On the northern end of the building, crews are working on the top of the north elevator core at Level Seven. Inside, most of the wall framing is complete, with mechanicals now being run. December 31, 2025.
