It's residential. It's building 1, here: http://www.bldup.com/posts/transformative-mit-development-aims-to-create-an-active-walkable-kendall-square

I don't think the short LHS is Divco's fault. I'm pretty sure that's the zoning for that block. Which raises the question, why the eff hasn't this been upzoned? I'm yet to get a good answer on this. My only guess is that they didn't want shadows on the park, but surely then there was a...

99% sure that the bike lanes will be protected since the city government has said all new street renovations with bikelanes will have protected bikelanes.

Nice pics but they should be in the East Gateway topic...can a mod move them? :)

Man, that's like, the worst PR shot possible for Boeing.

Man, that's like the PR shot for Boeing.

It is primarily Aurora Flight Sciences, a Cambridge startup that Boeing acquired, working on projects related to autonomous flight.

This is really exciting to me. More than the Seaport or any other neighborhood, I think this has the potential to be the "Next Kendall Square." We definitely need some sort of transit to here from, say, Harvard Square, preferably somehow in the form of a light rail, but more likely bus. If we...

This should probably be its own thread, but I felt like there were a lot of individual MIT projects in independent threads, and I was wondering if west campus should maybe be consolidated under one thread. Maybe renaming this thread would be good, or mods can feel free to spin off this post as...

You can say that's not a derailment but that is a GODDAMNED DERAILMENT. PLEASE. STOP.

I'm not sure what height is considered encroaching, but this area already has a bevy of buildings around and above 100 ft - Stata Center, Fairchild Building (36), Brain and Cognitive Sciences (46), and the Tech Square Novartis building.

No, MIT can build tall around the dome...look at the Green Building, even closer than this site, and 300 ft tall. This probably will max out at around 10 stories for three reasons, though: 1. Zoning. I'm pretty sure the height limits here max out at around 150 ft. 2. This will likely be a...

Dunno if anyone cares as this is a minor update, but SOM was chosen as the architect: http://news.mit.edu/2019/3q-dan-huttenlocher-formation-mit-schwarzman-college-computing-1126 Also those butterflies have been moved to the Wang Fitness Center.

I also have mixed feelings about this design. The massing fits the area, but could have been much bolder. The orange in the color scheme is an homage to the fencing that was there before it. The height and width of this structure match the area. However, the extremely bold white is far too...

This is a cool project.

Very upset about the loss of the solar sail. This building looks like a lego. Hideous and uninspired.

Volpe has only one developer. Also, why did you bump this thread to reply to something from weeks ago?

Good point tangent. I think I just get frustrated that the money was there for expanidng the BCEC, Charlie Baker did a bullshit "oh look at me I'm responsible thing," ordered a new study that took FIVE YEARS (!!!!!!) and as far as I can tell is not public. I am frustrated by this...

Two convention centers may seem strange, but Hynes is in an exceptionally good location. Moreover, it is constantly booked: https://www.signatureboston.com/events If Hynes is not making revenue, to me, that sounds like we have a management problem, not a venue problem. 31 is not old for a...

But the Hynes gets constant usage. It brings people to the city. It is a net positive? My god, is it so much to ask to have both?? God forbid we tap any of our revenue for public improvement works in this state! I would also prefer the city NOT getting the parcel back, because you know that...
