Wow another 200m proposal, great news! So if this goes through , Casa III (665ft) will be about 60ft taller then Casa II (604ft)

About 2 weeks ago, there was a big truck parked in front presumably testing the soil.

Looks like they're building a sales office in the old mansion beside the post office.

I'm thrilled to read that the homes (62, 64, 66 Charles E.) will be, for the most part, unaffected by this project. If I read correctly androiduk's photo above will be the only portion of the homes demolished prior to excavation commencing, which is an add-on anyway.

According to the report, 61 Hayden St., a Georgian Revival structure dating back to 1868/69 and currently houses a travel agency, is also to be demolished as part of this project.

I don't see anything remarkable about 61 Hayden, whatever may have existed has pretty much been stripped away. It's an orphan building on a service street.

Yep, agreed.
