I think the core might be done. They’re dismantling the formwork today.

Some order starting to take shape with the steel.

Sidewalk poured! I can’t wait to not be walking in the way-too-narrow passage on the street.

Nissenbaum will be the last to go - all the way to the bank, that is!

Cool that they kept this memorial in the area.

Some good backstory to Elfland - Apparently many others are taking notice, including the Globe. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/11/24/metro/welcome-elfland-an-8-year-old-somerville-boy-started-building-miniature-village-vacant-lot-then-strangers-secretly-pitched/

Precast floor panels going in, as well as cast in place for lower level. Just curious - why one solution over the other?

Good find, JS38. I think it’s a pretty cool design all things considered, but can’t help but chuckle at drawings like this that really spell out how out of place these buildings will be.

Conway Park infield turf with the Cambria Hotel project in the background.

Somerville Ave apartments, level 4 framing. I think there’s to be a 5th level identical to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and then a final 6th that is set back. Also, I like how it is beginning to further contain/enclose Bow Market.

Bow St Condos, 2nd level framing.

At Washington and Dane - a new coffee shop and roaster going in (formerly the Training Room gym). Sounds nice and all, I’m surprised a developer didn’t grab it up for a 4 story mixed use building.

Is this typically how piles are installed - pound them down as far as they’ll go and then break off whatever’s sticking out of the ground?

Some more renderings (from the architect’s website) for the 7-9 Central St apartments. Looks like it will fit in well with the Cambria Hotel vibe. https://www.portoneco.com/confidential-project
