    Chinatown Infill and Small Developments

    I live around the corner and the back exit from my building exits through that tunnel space between Genes and the Clements. It was, at times, occupied by unsavory characters. Other times it's used as a bathroom stall. And one time, I stepped over what I can only assume was a used condom. It was...

    Chinatown Infill and Small Developments

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no thread for DTX Infill projects?

    Chinatown Infill and Small Developments

    Sort of the opposite of infill development, but the old Clements Textile building is coming down slowly but surely. These pictures are across a month or so.

    22 Water St | North Point Area | Cambridge

    That's for real. The viaduct will be extended as part of the Green Line Extension. The tracks come down to grade somewhere between this building and Brick Bottom.

    The New Retail Thread

    Sad to be losing our only after-hours. But 17 years is a great run. Anyway, I think this points toward a redevelopment at 306 Stuart. I bet they'll sell the existing building and developers will take it down for something taller.

    22 Water St | North Point Area | Cambridge

    Just FYI, they are not "uncovering" the facade. The area covered with sheeting has no facade. They are peeling back the sheeting as they install new panels.

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    Agreed. I always found it strange that Boston was broken up by neighborhood and most of Cambridge was lumped together in one thread with the exception of a few individual projects.

    Twenty20 @ Northpoint | 20 Child Street | Cambridge

    You'd need a close-up to see it, but between the windows there is this corrugated material that IMO looks terrible. Reminds me of cheap aluminum louvers seen on old HVAC units. Other than that, it looks good, and just having a building at that corner of Northpoint makes the whole development...

    Radian (Dainty Dot) | 120 Kingston Street | Chinatown

    I walked through the area of the red arch last night and it was HQ for a couple of homeless people. That area is basically screened on three sides, which makes it feel pretty sketchy. However, the construction of the ground-floor restaurant (Townsman) is making progress. With the restaurant...

    CBTC for the T

    Software engineer here. I agree with you. Sounds like they have either faulty data (lack of sensors or unreliable sensors) or faulty algorithms. Both are solvable problems.
