That does look awesome. That would be a great proposal for a non-lab building.

How would this work taller?

A new Globe article. https://www.boston.com/real-estate/the-boston-globe/2026/07/10/downtown-boston-could-see-two-new-apartment-towers-with-900-plus-units/?p1=hp_featurestack

Could you please point me to where you read this?

Yes, it’s 700. And I don’t see how a building with 760 units on this footprint could top out around 500ft even if all the units were studios.

760+ apartments. That’s huge. Like really huge. 800,000 SQF on the footprint is going to make it pretty damn tall. Granted the units will be smaller than Millennium Tower, but that only has 442.

There’s a good stretch of Mass Ave South in Arlington that has a dead-on shot of this. It’s very cool seeing a Cambridge tower in the instance now.

That is crazy, I never realized this. Thanks for pointing this out.

So you didn’t happen to notice that the divider lines on the west side of the Pru are missing?

Kudos for posting this! What a great article and story. Things like this make me so proud to call MA my home.

Thanks for posting this! Wow! There’s a lot of negative things I shout when I’m sitting in traffic in the tunnel, but never did I say “What did they do?”

It’s likely that they tried to work something out. Someone mentioned Grape and Erie streets, which are completely in Woburn. That would have made the most sense, especially Erie street where they could have transformed part of the commercial lot at the end of the road to extend further right up...

Exactly.

I interpreted the “Why” as a question to the poster, possibly agreeing that an additional 500 homes would be too much.

This is my favorite development right now.
