    74M (EDGE Assembly Sq.) | 74 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

    Moving along slowly. They must be finishing up with the penthouse, it looks like there is some exterior wall framing starting on this side. I just realized the top two floors are the penthouse for the HVAC duct work alone!

    Yeah, Boston made some mistakes with the highway but luckily we ended up fixing it after 50 years and ended up with something better!

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    The Green Line goes under the Muddy River between Auditorium and Kenmore so it's not like it's been done before. But also, I'm curious why Park Drive / Audubon Circle wasn't considered as the route. It's a 4 lane road so plenty of room to redirect traffic during cut and cover and I don't think...

    Starting exterior materials towards the back. It appears the air /vapor barrier is spray applied, I have not seen this product in use around New England. Brick can be started in the back, looks good and they have pre-cast window sills, that's nice! Awning at entrance and Pre-cast materials
