    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    A few years ago they admitted that the reason the existing trees kept dying is they didn't have room for the root systems, so they wouldn't replant any trees until a full park reno. Now I'm curious how those 'saved' trees will survive unless they're doing work next to them to help the root...

    Weird they are saving those crappy trees. They aren't on the plans. Maybe move them as part of the reno?

    Came to post the same - you beat me to it. Looks like the 'same' staircase as now but no switchback any more. Curious what kind of entrance is on the other side - the station almost looks hidden compared to the new Southbound headhouse.

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    No photos today - phone was acting up. But demo from Binny is almost at the mid-point, and they presently started demo from the Broadway side, so I'd say 2 weeks and we're done...

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    They are moving along (but it is just the fascia - pretty easy to remove)

    Yeah, that's another really long story. he has a 'newer' rendering that squishes things together so he is not on the CMart parcel. let me see if I can get that screen grab...

    Funny how this leaves out an existing residential building and has a Druker building on land he does not own (closest to the highway)

    Letter of Intent for the back half of Druker's "80EB Complex" at 1033-1055 Washington. not sure if we need a new thread for these buildings or if we'll attach them to the 80EB thread.

    EB80 | 80 East Berkeley | South End

    Wow - no updates here in a while. 1) The site of literal 80EB is now blocked off with jersey barriers. They have been doing soil tests for about a month now, so can only assume something to happen soon. 2) Letter of intent filed with BPDA (nee BRA) for 1033-1055 Washington street. Not...
