Yesterday, a crew was at work boring holes into the ground around Bliss Towers. The purpose of the task is to determine the nature and stability of the soil.

The last time this was done, back in 2019, it was determined the soil was not stable enough to support the construction being proposed, and the plan to build two new buildings on State Street, on what is Site B in the current plan, was abandoned.
This time around, the folks from Mountco are maintaining it is possible to build anything anywhere. It is only a matter of cost. For the past few months, the development team has been doing value engineering to bring down the cost of the project which a year ago was estimated would cost $220 million.
