I don't think this was mentioned before. Anyways, the project is moving forward.

Beatty Development Group LLC is notifying neighbors of the 27-acre Harbor Point site that heavy construction activities will start by mid-June on the Exelon Corp. regional headquarters.
In a fact sheet being distributed to neighbors, the company led by Harbor East developer Michael Beatty said “loud pounding sounds” will soon be heard in the area as workers begin driving piles into the ground. The piles help form the foundation for the 23-story, 648,000-square-foot building.
Once it begins, construction is slated to take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on the site, and neighbors should expect to see increased truck traffic on Caroline Street, Beatty Development said. There will also be temporary road closures at times on Lancaster Street, Central Avenue and Caroline Street.
About 1,000 workers could be on the site during the two years of construction, Beatty Development said, and the company is currently working on finding parking for the workers.
The company is also seeking to reassure neighbors that construction is environmentally safe. Neighbors have expressed concerns because Beatty Development is planning to pierce the protective cap covering years of chromium contamination that occurred during the years AlliedSignal operated a chemical plant there.
“Proven construction techniques will enable the contractor to open portions of the cap to allow the piles to be installed and then reseal the cap,” Beatty Development said in the message to neighbors. “We will continue to take extensive precautions to protect the health and safety of the community and the workers.”
