    True, but still a tad monolithic.

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    No photos today - phone was acting up. But demo from Binny is almost at the mid-point, and they presently started demo from the Broadway side, so I'd say 2 weeks and we're done...

    MXD Residential Tower | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    They are moving along (but it is just the fascia - pretty easy to remove)

    EB80 | 80 East Berkeley | South End

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    Yeah, that's another really long story. he has a 'newer' rendering that squishes things together so he is not on the CMart parcel. let me see if I can get that screen grab...

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    Funny how this leaves out an existing residential building and has a Druker building on land he does not own (closest to the highway)

    Letter of Intent for the back half of Druker's "80EB Complex" at 1033-1055 Washington. not sure if we need a new thread for these buildings or if we'll attach them to the 80EB thread.

    EB80 | 80 East Berkeley | South End

    Wow - no updates here in a while. 1) The site of literal 80EB is now blocked off with jersey barriers. They have been doing soil tests for about a month now, so can only assume something to happen soon. 2) Letter of intent filed with BPDA (nee BRA) for 1033-1055 Washington street. Not...

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    As posted on FB, most likely an old sign when they replaced the broken front stairs. When the owner died ownership went to the 'family, who rumor says can't agree on a disposition, so it remains in the family, unused.

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

    There's an understatement. The Marriott courtyard used to be a nice place - music and farmers market in the summer. Now you go to that plaza and it is surrounded by 3 new skyscrapers and really feels like you're in a dark sunken pit. Curious how it bright it will be come june/july, but...

    seeking History of Boston's General Mail facility

    Someone posted the below image on Facebook (dated 1967). This, of course, being South Station platforms. On the right is what seems to be an older USPS building. The old Blue & White trucks. Tracks servicing - back in the days of mail via rail. Of course, the white building is...

    Why are they saving the garage again??

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    'amenities' has me worried. The old plans had all we know of as the South Station waiting room destroyed to become the lobby of this new building, with the only track access from the stairwell on Atlantic Ave. I hope it's a better approach with this newer design.
