Polyesters?

Neat. Though I would fail them on the test as the left hand doors shouldn't have opened as there is no center platform. But, that's why it's a test and not a revenue run.

Page 70 on the linked file below has the T.O. Building at 330', which looks like top of screen wall. The inages below show an element of some kind extending above the screen wall. No idea what that is? Or, maybe it's just an architectural element, which doesn't really affect overall height. The...

Per MIT docs, the top of building is 315'-0" https://kendallsquare.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/MIT_KendallSq_SoMa_SpePer_GraphicsD_Building4_1.pdf Building 5 is 270' https://kendallsquare.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/MIT_Vol_III_SoMa_Final_DevPlan-12-SecE.pdf Building 3 will...

Re: MIT East Campus - Kendall Square Gateway | Cambridge ^^^ Doesn't this have it's own thread? This is not part of MIT's development. This is a BP building.

Architect is Payette. Same architect as building 1. The difference between University money and private money on the waterfront.

Woo! Badass pics! Thanks.

What does one mark things down to at the dollar store to draw customers? Is it me or is an "Everything half off!" Sign at the dollar store seem absurd to anyone else?

I mean, in reality, there are many dual income households where each adult is making $150-200k each. I'm not one of them, but there are many. Two people cohabiting and making $200k each could afford one of those units on 50% of their take home.

I have maples on one side of my house, and a big oak on the other side. Come raking season you learn the difference real quick. Raking maples end of October early November. Raking oak leaves well into December, and it still ain't dropped em all yet.

Wondering why the exhaust stacks stayed since the building went office vs. lab? Maybe there is still plans to include some, or to be ready for the future. Are there actually high plume lab exhaust fans installed, or just round enclosures to mimic the look for now, and house future exhaust stacks?

http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/a993d0c8-b087-413c-91ad-29edfe2d5c75 The 100 Acre plan PDA had heights included on the proposed parcels. Up to 180 feet. Page 29.

For now. Is that necessarily a good thing? If they can fill 300k SF with a single tenant, why not build 400k (if upzoning further were approved)? Question is, are they building to the height of the Marriott because they can as of right, because the precedent was set and not worth fighting for...

Fair points. Would that we didn't have to deal with antiquated zoning, but it is here and a real cost adder/hindrance.

On the other hand, one of my points was very valid for Kendall. Most the developers here are capable of getting financing/able to build with a much smaller first tenant. ARE, BioMed, MITIMCo, BP, etc. all have the capital to get out of the ground with less guaranteed up front leases (though they...

To the point of scaling mentioned earlier, this is true, but not that cut and dry. While yes, scaling labs gets expensive quick, scaling office space, not as much. There are ranges where costs gets more expensive once you cross a certain level, but then the cost for the next 10-20 floors isn't...

Why do so many of these posts insinuate that you need a single tenant to fill the building? If you can house the tenant in a 20 storey building, then build a 30 storey building to lease the remaining 40% office space, and provide ground level retail. My understanding in general is that the big...

Well, and this is what so many people do not understand. It's not always about physical power. When you are dealing with a billionaire, their influence goes far beyond being able to physically over power a woman. There are other implications, whether real or just perceived by the victim. If...
