I'm not contributing anything of development-related value; I just want to say to NM88 that I really appreciate the substance and style of your above post.

Construction is supposed to begin on August 1: https://bostonrealestatetimes.com/cambridgeseven-named-lead-architect-for-cambria-hotel-in-somerville/

Is there a particular date to keep an eye on for when this project might receive final approval to move ahead with permitting, financing, and (hopefully) construction? Thanks.

I can't speak to FK4's unnecessary decision to share his unsolicited views regarding a stranger's word choice (on a forum dedicated to architecture and urban development; glad they take delight in mocking/lecturing a first-generation college grad's word choice), but the Biznow article that...

I have zero insider information, but my naivety would like to trust that Warshaw's spin (about wrapping up financing, rather than still standing at the gates), can be believed: "The development partnership announced the Raffles news more than a year ago. In a Wednesday interview with Bisnow...

https://goo.gl/maps/rxixULCdEbduDRHQ8 Stupid question: any chance that the parking garage that 33 Arch is cantilevered over could be torn down and replaced with underground parking and a decent-sized tower (in a decade or two, perhaps)?

That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

I've learned something new today thanks to you two!

Correct... ...but/and the zoom function at the bottom of the page works really well on the website. And more importantly: the only demo work that will be done on One Congress for the next 2 months is the "partial demolition of the 10th and 11th floors above the garage," {see the photo of the...

Though I respectfully disagree, I would be amenable to an 'exchange program' in which Boston sends some of its clunky 'Boston Boxes' to Miami. Hell, I'd be ok with a neon-pink high-rise in the shape of a flamingo if it meant getting better proportioned buildings downtown.

1) See BostonDevelop's response. 2) Rather than needlessly bump a thread after 2 weeks of inactivity, remember that the answer to your question can be found here in the high-rise cam: https://app.oxblue.com/open/bostonproperties/huboncauseway

Not to mention 35 Lomasney (at nearly 490 feet), which will similarly fill in the gap (even more so when viewed from Arlington's Skyline park, or when driving down from the peak of Route 2 heading towards Cambridge, etc.)

Love the front; really not liking the all black backing. A classy flourish or two would have added a more human element to it.

Yes Stick, hence my original comment. There is no 'blue way' if there is no tower, period.

Stick, it'll boil your blood to read this (as it did mine), but here's an update that the CLF provided a couple weeks ago. Note that there's an important legal hearing TOMORROW (May 2), as noted in the article...

Do you know where this photo of Cambridge was taken from?

Stupid (but sincere) question: is it safe to say that they HAVE (now) "locked that up" in light of the Board approval, or does this approval set in motion the need for subsequent approvals from other sources?

A 'kind of an' update: Last month, I wrote the following to the project's architecture firm: "According to The Huntington Avenue Theatre's website, ""Demolition for the 252-254 Huntington Avenue buildings is projected to commence in early 2019. Huntington is projected to begin renovations...

What? The question wasn't, "When will this get approved?"

Thanks (to you and Fitchburg).
