MXD Commercial Towers | 250 - 290 Binney St | Kendall Square

Per the project update site (https://www.mxdsub.site/updates):

"Excavation down to the first parking level is almost complete at 290 Binney, with the first tower crane erection under way. Columns are being exposed to begin steel erection soon."

Well that didn't take long:

The article gives more insight though. This also seems the reason why the 2 story building there stands. The whole think is a lease issue more than anything else - the loading dock and 'vibrations' are a bit of a red herring.
 

This one is turning out to have a more aggressively slanted front face (on the Binney St. side) than I thought based on the renders, and that's a positive in my eyes. It's going to make it much more interesting, especially in an area that's got some boring buildings.
