The building is fully enclosed, and the finishes are well underway. Paint has started, and bathroom finishes are being installed.

Made of stainless steel and with a minimal design – its clean profile will be a beautiful addition to the roof, allowing access to the deck in conjunction with a hidden sliding ship’s ladder. Take a peek at the skylight in the video below!

1065 Tremont Phase 2 Update
The bay windows at 1065 Tremont Phase 2 are in!
The office took a site visit to see the progress at 1065 Tremont Phase 2. It was a nice day and the floor-to-ceiling bay windows were just installed for us to stand in. The view is spectacular! The expansive glass really lets you feel as if you’re out in space when standing in the bay. The windows also let in tons of light, we’re sure future tenants will appreciate the expansive views and ample daylight. Thanks to Haycon Building, our GC, for letting us tour the site and the great work.
