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

    @Java King - The image (below) was the infrastructure I referenced in my note (above). Apologies for not posting it with that response; I didn't have the image at hand. Image setting: Lot JK sported about 2/3 of its steel, and only the most rudimentary work had been done at Lot W. Lots L & M...

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

    TJs is one of the places that some folks at DivCo have been looser lipped about courting over the years. They have told us (unofficially?) repeatedly that TJ wanted a building larger than this site (Q1, which is subdivided for 2-4 businesses, IIRC) and so much parking that it would essentially...

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

    Glad you enjoyed it. I could zipline right to a table. It will be interesting to see how the "hotel without rooms" concept works as we head into the winter: hopefully, better than the "World Kitchen" slung beneath AVA one block over.

    Yep - that's Lingo Bar+Cafe. It's not bad. It reopened according to Cambridge's dining restrictions. There are seats outside between the EF building and the skatepark to accommodate dining al fresco...

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

    The water that is present is what is planned: the water table. When we get heavy rains, overflow and drain water enters the new mitigation system installed beneath the drumlin near where you imaged that scene (between Lot W and Lot S). There is no plan for any active water connection to points...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Yes, while observing the parking/Cuppa Coffee site from on high, I realized just how much space even the shipping and receiving section of a moderate height building would demand. The Steinway Tower proved that you *can* build tall, and thin, on a micro lot (granted, with some cantilevering in...

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

    You are looking at discontinuous walls that shield a *deep* parking L1, regular L2, and half of a regular L3, as well as the upper and lower lobby area (part of which will be glassed). The walls reach to the Gilmore Bridge's height (54ft), while the parking core reaches to the top of the upper...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Correct: and the portion of the top floor of the old garage not dedicated to part of One Congress' superstructure will be an outdoor courtyard serving the tower (not shared by The Sudbury, although a small portion on the West Parcel (nearest the police HQ)) will contain a utility/storage...

    Cambridge Crossing Parcel EF | 250 Dawes Street | Cambridge/Somerville

    Yes. They were using it quite a bit today after construction on Friday/Saturday and calibration yesterday. Near term: We are expecting a jump on the second Lot G crane in the next 5-10 days, completion of the triple height forms for Lot H in the next 10-20, and *maybe* the tower crane for Lot...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    The lighting accentuates some nice depth. Hopefully they won't turn it off like they did with the nearby Avalon tower's balcony/vertical highlight strip (lasted about six months, on an off, before the balconies partially winked out and the main strip revealed sections that failed).

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

    That sign, or a variant of it, has been near that location since they began project excavation. At one point it was near the tenement, for a time near Amy Lowell, and, on a few occasions, actually behind the work fences. It was yellow for a time, too! It (or its brethren) gets around...

    The fourth crane on the Lot G/Lot H sites was cabling up last night (late!) and appears to be operational this morning after calibration (early!). After the bathtub is poured for Lot I, we should expect at least one one more crane arriving at the next prior to winter. ...I really need to get...

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

    I agree. It is already (reasonably positively) imposing on approach via the Lev Conn heading toward Rt 28N.

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

    That is Lot Q1. Originally slated to be a hotel (and a different footprint, if you look early enough), DivCo revised it to retail. This is the supporting document (some components are stale)...

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

    They cleared out the north section of the parcel (it will eventually be the open space, nee amphitheater) last week Thursday. It had previously served as a storage area for equipment and palettes, and as a lot for some workers.

    As soon as the build the crane for Lot I I'm going to feel surrounded by birds!

    Cambridge Crossing Parcel EF | 250 Dawes Street | Cambridge/Somerville

    The tower crane was delivered, installed, and tested between Friday and Sunday. It began work today, Monday 27 July.
