    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    Lot EF has been under construction (piles, sheeting, then excavation) for almost two months. Lot JK blocks my view of Lot EF, but one can see the latter from the Gilmore Bridge or Zinc Apartments. Lot W has changed composition, orientation, and elevation several times in the last few months as...

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Yes, the last few weekends have been packed with activity to remove the rubble on rubble.

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    <<Anecdotal>> Due to a sick dog I have passed this project a few times during mid-afternoon hours I normally would not: very little activity between 2pm and 4pm over the last several weeks. Additionally, when biking home around 5:20, there were generally folks from different trades cleaning...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Zoom to the highest floor of installed glass on the flickr image. Immediately to the left of the nearest Reuleaux vertex is a section of partial height glass. That looks like a semi enclosed balcony rail. Stick n Move's postings show 12 balconies, including the first and last (double height)...

    Parcel JK | Cambridge Crossing | Cambridge

    Re: Parcel JK | NorthPoint | Cambridge "We don't want this to be Seaport II". We heard that at DivCo meetings...

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End I biked past this gruesomeness every day for six years and never realized how warren-like it was. Indeed, the garage enabled, and protected, the necrotic blight behind it.

    Park 151 | 151 N First Street | Cambridge Crossing | East Cambridge

    Sometimes I agree with your sentiment, and sometimes I don't. As a resident of *here*, I do, simply because I lived in a number of places in Northern Virginia where this type of sprinkling worked very well. If this turns out half as good as a few of the places I lived, I'll be very pleased. I'm...

    Park 151 | 151 N First Street | Cambridge Crossing | East Cambridge

    We've discussed height restrictions, using first hand information from CX, in the master thread, and the one for Lot JK. As an owner/resident of CX who is mostly very pleased with living here, let me summarize: "that's not how we operate". DivCo has a great reputation, and is working efficiently...

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    Where will they stage the ingredients for this build? Even the modest buildings in CX saw an impressive amount of steel during the primary build out phase (if only for a short time). Granted anything in Cambridge Crossing has loads of space given the low density: this site is so tight! Is there...

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    Lot I will be a residential building with green space (one iteration showed the approved structure with theater-in-a-round concepts) and retail. Tentative early plans suggest construction will begin there after Lot W is complete, which accompanies the completion of JK and the park's north end...

    One Greenway (Parcel 24) | 0 Kneeland Street | Chinatown

    Agreed: this is horrid. Perhaps the interior is more welcoming.

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    No kidding; shooting from that perspective underscores how much that garage is a true landscraper.

    Education First (Phase III) | 10 North Point Blvd | Cambridge

    Without a bathtub's construction, this building has really moved. I'm normally biking past it so don't have images that show details. This perspective is looking southeast beyond Twenty|20, and Gilmore Bridge, along Northpoint BLVD as of 17 May, with steel at lvls 5,6,7 and plating one or two...

    AVA North Point II | Archtone phase II | East Cambridge

    Most of the landscaping for both buildings is done now, unrestricted, and pretty spiff (the lit benches are a surprising addition that survived the glossy literature phase). The recent storms did a number on the appointments, though: uprooting new trees, flooding out many...

    Parcel JK | Cambridge Crossing | Cambridge

    Re: Parcel JK | NorthPoint | Cambridge For those of you interested in tracking the progress of Cambridge Crossing's "Lot JK", I have included shots since my last update: apologies for the delay. - 29 March / North side steel at ground level 2; plating at level 2; lobby beginning; south side...

    AVA North Point II | Archtone phase II | East Cambridge

    The buildings are well appointed, with clean common spaces and well designed units of impressive variation. I've been in them a number of times over the past weeks as friends searched for a space. They opted for AVA over remaining in Avalon Lofts, and will be moving into the south building in...

    Park 151 | 151 N First Street | Cambridge Crossing | East Cambridge

    In other CX threads we've discussed height in E Cambridge to death (and I've added what I could based on meetings). The City of Cambridge limits the height curtain here, and the developer chose to interpret that as a series of stepped ribbons (with the tallest buildings "fronting" the tracks and...
