The Metropolis Towers’ complex has had some recent demolition of the low rise section connecting the two existing towers. We came across a few bits and peices about two new towers going in along Christopher Columbus Blvd. But it seems that Emporis has listed four new towers for the complex. The first two towers are […]
The little project we’ve been following for a while now is progressing quickly again. The stairs have been poured and topped off, and it seems landscaping has filled in what had been the driveway.

Imagine Atrium Books And Gifts is presently covered over in […]
