A quick update on the two projects that are a block apart on Harvard St. in Brookline. For context, the vast majority of the buildings on this stretch are 1 story storefronts. 455 Harvard St: 420 Harvard St ("JFK Crossing")

MXDII residential building is ~400 feet and the Volpe site could host a 500 foot tower.

Full row of glass is up now - looks pretty good in person. Mirror sharp. The edges of those small fins extending of the window are sort of a rust/orange color in the renderings, but look a little more mauve/purple in person. Maybe it's the light?

Starting to come together...from the rooftop garden (green garage).

Snapped this yesterday...

It's going to be primarily "retail" according to Kendall Square Initiative documents but I just searched online for 15 minutes and couldn't find any plans. The only thing I found is this part of a figure from a PDF I stored on my computer from a 2016 planning doc:

They did a few panels months ago and I was worried it would be waaaay too dark, but I'm impressed now!

Yep. Been 3 times at 8:45 am. They were out of coffee twice and the last time it was lukewarm. Also, this street has really changed over the last year. Anyone who hasn't seen it should take a look at the protected 2-way bike highway/bus island and streetscape. I love how it connects (with...

Other buildings. A Broad Institute building is right across the street, is the same height, and has a huge bank of windows.

Yes! I was hoping that this would be the location. There is also a flower shop going in next door to it that is opening in February I believe (according to the new sign on the door).

https://www.wbur.org/bostonomix/2019/01/09/one-dalton-crane-view Very cool WBUR story about a day in the life of one of the crane operators for One Dalton - and some awesome pictures from the top, including a great shot of how the mechanical floor is hidden :)

The light schedule there crossing Mass Ave is easily a minute long wait. I'd take the tunnel every time, no matter the direction. Why wait?

The first facade panels were placed on Building 4 at the end of this week. Seems pretty intricate but looks a little cheap in my opinion. Maybe with morning lighting someone can get a better picture. Also, the first steel is now above ground for the other building going up on Main Street.

It's a drydock - it's designed for ship building and repair. Water can be pumped in or out of the middle (currently flooded) section, and the solid connector bit on the ocean side is a gate that can open or close. :cool:

Test post? Does this site really work now?

There's Vertex, sure, and I know that going back 10-15 years this was part of the plan. But now that it's filling out, I haven't seen any building plans with dedicated biotech/pharma lab space. Did I miss something?

Glass is flying up this building. 6 full floors - all of this was done in the month of May. 18 full floors of steel completed by my count.

Someone on the Boston reddit saw the balloons float up there. The Boston Run 2 Remember was Sunday, and the route went nearby. Maybe it was from that?

Saw the old Remax building at 420 Harvard Ave was knocked down in the last few weeks. I went back in this thread to 2015 and didn't see any info. Turns out there's a 25 unit, 4.5 floor building going in under Chapter 40B. Looks like it was originally going to be a bit taller at like 6 stories...

West Station still doesn't seem likely before 2040 according to this report on last night's joint MBTA/MassDOT meeting.
