If you want to see some interiors, including some of the penthouses, they set up a special website to sell the last 11 units. http://mtboston.com/the11/

And you would be completely wrong, transit ballot questions (like the green line extension that the CLF won through a lawsuit) pass about 70% of the time. http://www.cfte.org/elections

They want to move directly into their new building and don't want to rent office space during the renovation. And there is some equipment they couldn't move to a rented space. And the current building is in a pretty shitty spot for building around it

I agree, the alignment is so bad, it's clear they put a line on a map, and when they got opposition they just said.....TUNNEL! I don't understand why they don't put an alignment from Providence straight to Hartford and down from there. It's a route that is shorter and actually connects the...

Interesting, I wonder if they could use the precision of GPS to randomize the approach path more to mitigate the complaints.

There could be a simple pad in place by September http://www.universalhub.com/2016/whee-whirligig-landing-pad-could-be-place?nocache=1

If you are flying in on a helicopter, I don't think that's a problem.

45 Province residents were complaining about lost views with the previously approved proposal that was half this height.

So 4 acres seems to be an approximation someone came up with for the following criteria (from the RFI): So that's 39,000 square feet for the building on the ground floor. So at least an acre for the building, another for the setbacks. If that parking was included in an underground garage for...

I have yet to see the 4 acres comment on any government documents. That is something a Cambridge city counselor said once, which could be a generalization of how much space is being given up. The RFI states their sqft and parking requirement and seems to be open to any plan that could...

You have to understand they aren't hard and fast requirements either. From the paper that stellar linked to about the replacement OK city federal building (with much more stringent requirements than this has) There is currently no parking on Binney or Third, and Monroe could be made into a...

I understand where the requirements come from, and I understand why the FBI and other "high visibility" agencies would have those requirements, but this is a transportation research building, it doesn't need the same protection as the FBI.

A large company that would want all their employees on one floor so they can mix and collaborate instead of them being spread across multiple floors or multiple buildings? It doesn't have to be an "Open office plan" but even with offices or cubicles it's better to be in close proximity to your...

That is a really stupid requirement to impose on a transportation research building in the middle of a city. And the current building doesn't meet that at all.

Where does four acres come from? The RFI only states that they want 390,000 GSF, which would fit in about 13 floors for the outline I had and 8 for the outline DigitialSciGuy had.

So I've been playing around with this massing idea in my head for a few days. It's really rough but I think it balances flat and open lab space with towers and public open space. 0-2nd floor: The purple would be retail that would surround a new park space in the middle. The smaller purple...

They have definately been doing a big of a soft opening, I walked past there at night on the 10th and there was some sort of party on the first floor.
