Final piece of Fan Pier put in place with luxury condo tower topping-off
On Friday, Fallon and colleagues joined the Iron Workers Local 7 and general contractor Turner Construction to help put the final piece of Fan Pier into place in a topping-off ceremony. They raised a steel girder to the top of the 14-story frame of what will be a 122-unit luxury condo project, dubbed 'One Harbor Shore.' It's one of the few active construction sites with crane activity in Boston right now, amid the construction sector's doldrums. (Bank OZK provided financing last year, and MassMutual is Fallon's equity partner.)
The Fallon Co. celebrated a topping-off ceremony of its 122-condo project at Fan Pier on May 23.

When it opens in mid-2026, the building, designed by CBT Architects, will be notable for another reason: It will be among the first major privately developed structures in the city to rely almost entirely on electric heat. (Gas-fired boilers will kick in for heat only when the temps get close to or below zero degrees Fahrenheit.) The developer says the building will easily exceed the city's new stringent energy codes.

For Fallon and his firm, the building also represents the final chapter in the Fan Pier development saga. The Fallon Company is now putting most of its attention outside of its home city for growth, such as with a sprawling
After a few starts and stops, Fallon says it's satisfying to see the end in sight. Fan Pier now includes the two Vertex towers, the One Marina Park Drive tower where his company is located, as well as office buildings for MassMutual and Goodwin. Plus: more than 200 luxury waterfront condos at 22 and 50 Liberty — and now The Collaborative Companies will start marketing the units at One Harbor Shore in the coming weeks.
People who haven't been to this part of Boston recently tell Fallon they can't believe the amount of change that's taken place. And it all began with that fortuitous balloon ride.
'We're proud of what we have, and we're proud of what it did for the city,' Fallon said. 'This site really became the catalyst for the whole Seaport.'

Gas valve failure during routine maintenance work may have led to fatal explosion, US Steel says
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Preparations for a routine maintenance task may have led to an explosion at a U.S. Steel coal-processing plant near Pittsburgh that left two dead and sent 10 to hospitals, the company said Friday. U.S. Steel said it developed the information, along with other investigators, from reviewing video footage and interviewing employees. That has suggested to them that the explosion happened when workers were flushing a gas valve in preparation for a routine planned maintenance task, the company said. The explosion, which heavily damaged part of the sprawling facility, started around a set of ovens where coal is baked to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit (648.89 Celsius) into a more efficient carbon fuel called coke, a key component in steelmaking. A byproduct of processing the coal is a combustible gas called coke oven gas, made up of a lethal mix of methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. 'Pressure built inside the valve, leading to valve failure and coke oven gas filling the area and ultimately exploding when finding an ignition source,' U.S. Steel said. U.S. Steel didn't say why pressure built inside the valve or what was the ignition source. It said the investigation is in the early stages and that it will provide more information when it can. The United Steelworkers union, which represents workers killed and injured in the explosion, had no immediate comment. The massive plant along the Monongahela River in Clairton is considered the largest coking operation in North America and, along with a blast furnace and finishing mill up the river, is one of a handful of integrated steelmaking operations left in the U.S. The blast was so powerful that it sent a plume of black smoke into the sky, shook the ground and was heard by some people a mile or more away. It took hours to find two missing workers, one dead and one alive, beneath charred wreckage and rubble. The Clairton plant is nearly 110 years old. Japan-based Nippon Steel finalized its acquisition of U.S. Steel in June, winning President Donald Trump's approval after he reversed then-President Joe Biden's decision to block it. To change Trump's mind, Nippon Steel boosted its commitment to invest money into U.S. Steel's aging plants and gave the federal government a say over some matters involving domestic steel production.

Power cuts and blackouts: Why can't Iraq keep the lights on?
Iraq was plunged into a nationwide blackout earlier this week, as a temperature surge to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50° Celcius) — and subsequent spiking demand for electricity — pushed the country's faltering power grid to the breaking point. For a country that has seen as much conflict and instability as Iraq, this could come as unsurprising – except for the fact that the nation is OPEC's second-largest oil producer and has the world's fifth-largest proven oil reserves. Scores of international energy companies have facilities in the Middle Eastern country, and billions of dollars have been invested in its power sector. Blackouts have nevertheless become a common occurrence in the country's scorching summers, and shorter power cuts take place almost daily, with many Iraqis depending on private generators for reliable power — while those without that access are left to suffer. So why is such an oil-rich country unable to keep the lights on? Iraq's power crisis has been years in the making. The Iraqi government has struggled to provide its citizens with reliable energy since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, after which the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime and the ensuing turmoil left the national grid unable to cope with demand due to chronic under-investment, mismanagement and corruption — like the embezzlement of public funds intended for electricity projects. This spilled into civil unrest in the summer of 2021, when hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets amid power and water outages gripped large parts of the country, And just in July, power cuts sparked fresh protests across the country against a backdrop of extreme heat. Iran reliance and gas flaring Iraq relies heavily on neighboring Iran for gas and power: in 2023, 47% of the gas Iraq consumed came from Iran and produced an estimated 29% of Iraqi power generation. But the Iranian gas supply is also unreliable — in part because Iran often has trouble keeping its own lights on, due to sanctions and mismanagement, and because Tehran at times withholds its exports to Iraq for political reasons. "Iraq has been suffering from inadequate electricity for decades. It's a supply and demand problem as a growing and richer population demands electricity the state cannot supply," James Jeffrey, a distinguished fellow at the Washington Institute who previously served as the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told CNBC. The country of 46 million in fact has huge quantities of gas – but "Iraq never developed its natural gas sector. Quantities are huge but just flared off," Jeffrey said. He was referencing gas flaring, during which gas is burned off and lost during oil production, leading to huge financial and resource losses as well as significant damage to the environment. "The reasons for this failure range from bureaucratic problems, incapacity to do strategic planning, and pressure from Iran through proxy political parties," Jeffrey said. "Iran wants to keep selling billions in gas and electricity to Baghdad and also wants Iraq dependent on Tehran." Sanctions pressure In March, the Trump administration – as part of its maximum-pressure sanctions strategy against Iran – rescinded the waiver that Washington has historically granted Iraq to continue buying Iranian electricity without breaching U.S. sanctions. The move means Iraq can no longer import Iranian electricity – which comprises about 3% or Iraq's power supply, according to Platts reporting – but Baghdad can still import Iranian gas, which provides the much larger part of its power. The U.S. has long urged Iraq to diversify its energy sources to reduce its reliance on Iran. Sanctioning Baghdad's purchases of Iranian gas would deal a hammer blow to the country's ability to generate electricity, and likely trigger an economic crisis and political instability. But the specter of it – and continued U.S. pressure – is a good thing for Iraq, many analysts say, as it's pushed Iraq to invest more in its power generation capacity and enact reforms in the sector. "Iraq will gain energy independence, bolstering the authority of its central government — which Iran has exploited with its cheap energy for too long," Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington D.C., wrote in a report published in March. "The hard part now is ensuring that Tehran cannot continue exploiting Baghdad's political environment and that the government finds reliable energy alternatives." Power projects underway A number of major projects are underway to improve Iraq's energy independence. TotalEnergies' $27 billion Gas Growth Integrated Project, signed in 2023, aims to capture some of Iraq's flared gas for use in power plants and build a 1-1.25 gigawatt solar park for the southern city of Basra. Siemens Energy this year announced a framework to develop up to 14 gigawatts of gas-fired power capacity using domestic gas, including captured flare gas. For reference, the current capacity of Iraq's national grid is less than 28 gigawatts, compared to a peak demand of 48 gigawatts, according to Jessica Obeid, head of Energy Transitions at SRMG Think. There is also more focus on renewable energy and cross-border interconnection, with a link to Jordan's power grid underway and another to Kuwait still in the works. Still, the transition is difficult and will both take time and likely face continued obstacles due to corruption, pressure from Iran-backed members of Iraq's government, and political unpredictability. Iraqi energy independence is "over time very realistic," Jeffrey said. "The U.S. [sanctions] move was smart but we need to give Iraq some time, as major infrastructure needed doesn't spring up overnight."
