Thanks to a 'vertical assembly line,' Millennium Tower is well on its way to completion.
The tower will rise 60 stories and 685 feet, a process that will take a little more than three years to build. With Suffolk Construction expertly coordinating 500 workers, the Tower is now growing by two floors per week as lower floors receiving finishing touches. By this time next year, the condominiums on the lower floors should be occupied by the building's new residents.

Drones represent a unique way to display properties in today's market, as David Murdock of Campion and Company is well aware. Murdock is co-listing an undeveloped 11.57-acre, two-island property in Scituate with Tracy Campion.
"We figured the best way to market the islands is with an aerial drone," said Murdock in an article just published by the Boston Globe. Murdock created the video with Matthew Murphy, president of Boston Virtual Imaging, not only to showcase the expanse of the seaside offering, but also because he knew that the aerial views would be instrumental in helping buyers get a sense of spectacular views once a house is completed on the site.
