Things are progressing!
For this issue, their annual "Structures" issue, the BizTimes appears to have tried to contact the developers of all the major projects to find out their status. When they got no response, they specifically say so. So I take the statement that "things are progressing" on this project as good news.
Also, we should know soon enough. Basically, the concrete foundation work is nearly complete and it's time to erect steel. Either they will or they won't--they have already started after all.
And finally, note that they haven't taken down the crane even for the Mission St. building. Renting those cranes isn't cheap. Hard to believe they'd keep paying rent on it unless they figured it would be back in use reasonably soon.
