    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    Surprised no one has posted. Starting this weekend, this project is taking another lane of traffic away. Broadway will be Eastbound only for the next year (inbound to Boston). No westbound at all. North side sidewalk and bike lanes moved. Peds have to cross the street. Bike lanes...

    Kendall Common Parcel C1 (née Volpe Center) | 25 Broadway | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    No, John is gumbling about autocorrect gone wrong. the DEconstruction of the old DOT/Volpe building. The footprint is close - they could just remove the one story additions and build C1, but now you're removing the old building with a new building feet away.

    Well, almost a year of inactivity. Fence went up in December. 'signs' went up in July. Well this week we have activity! More signs. Yeah, that's about it. :). I talked to the works, and they are just 'the sign guys'. Two new signs up on the corner with the same building...

    AstraZeneca/Alexion | 290 Binney Street | Kendall Square

    Hmmm - my watch on the thread mus tnot be working well, as I missed the discussion here - I only found out about it as it mad the BBJ today - probably because of the public meeting. Seems thremo-fisher is 'staying'. Personally I agree that they will get this adjustment, then go for a...

    More park news - Binney St Park looks super close to opening. Construction vehicles are gone. Just the fence remains. Large portion is a dog park, but there is a lot of seating outside of the park. Curious how busy it will be during lunch come Springtime. This is at Binney, Galelio...

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    OK, what are the sheet piles for? They've already got an 11 story slurry wall that I thought went to the property line. They need to dig an extra hole?

    Looking closer at the rendering. The steel is up for the main square addition. No steel yet for the little piece in back - looks like where the park will connect to the stairs I stood on to get some of those pics.

    Got some photos today on the way home. Not sure if the 'white' part is decoration or if they are moving the T elevator; and the elevator will now stop at 'park' level.

    MXD II (Google Kendall) | 325 Main St. | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    Scanning in old negatives, and had to add to this old thread. While the above image(s) above show a remarkable 3rd rebuild of the rooftop garden. Here is the first build of the garden, circa 1986. Not the most inviting of designs. Photo taken form the newly opened Marriott...

    OK, who else is 'this old' here??? Scanning old negatives, and since we are talking Kendall Outbound - here's a photo from an upper floor of the Marriott right after it opened. The courtyard is still under construction, and we can see the stairs and elevator for the "new" Kendall...

    No activity since the gas station building was cleared almost 2 months ago. but the backhoe has been sitting there ever since. But in the last few days a 'coming soon' sign went up with renderings...
