Winter Hill Star Market, abandoned for nearly two decades, soon to become affordable housing - The Boston Globe

The project, its developers say, will inject new life into this part of Somerville, turning the long-decrepit parcel into a prominent neighborhood landmark.

This one has had its official ground breaking recently.

I also saw a tower crane being erected yesterday, but wasn’t able to grab a photo.

Side note: that’s a nice dystopian filter you have on your camera.

Slowly getting taller and wider with the Western part of the complex nearlhy about to join the Eastern in going vertical. These may not be especially sexy pix (and I can absolutely stop posting pix if it's just coming off as clutter) and the end-result won't be sexy, either, but it's so nice to see this lot finally filled in and it's cool to see this type of a development progress on a near-daily basis. Sites I frequently see in the S End and Back Bay are nowhere near as accessible when they're going up, so... I dunno -- it's fascinating (to me).
