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

    The tower crane for Lot EF was delivered on Friday night, organized on Saturday, and installed/tested throughout Sunday afternoon. So, more bird landings in CX...

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

    There are two ways to look at this: 1) Getting from CX to Community (or building there) / The nearest that the developer can get, due to the tracks, is with Lot H (the second Sanofi-Aventis building), under construction. That building will sport some type of double lobby, one of which feeds...

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

    To be sure - but not just them (and not just in city towers). Here at CambridgeCrossing, the legacy named AVA Northpoint offers 12 3br/2 or 3ba units, ranging in sizes from ~1,200ft^2 - ~1,600ft^2 for $4,300 - $5,500/month. Granted, that's not $10,000, but only *one* is available (a smaller...

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

    "The Lexington" opened tonight on the Common (in front of Lot JK). In contrast to the World Kitchen (floor 1 of AVA one block away) that fizzle opened during the peak of COVID and routinely fills one or two tables a night al fresco, Lex was at capacity nearly the entire evening, closing at dusk...

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

    I feel similarly, @Arenacale. And while a bit more height might have improved its proportions, I don't think it needed to be taller.

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

    About 20 minutes prior to you capturing that image, I was cycling through that intersection and stopped at the light. They lifted the crane cab right over all of us ... one of the few times folks haven't been in a mad dash to speed through that mess: everyone was looking straight up! Really...

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    ...that last image from Bos Beeline reminds me of the construction equivalent of the obelisk in 2001...

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

    Thanks so much for reminding us that there *is* a series of views to watch! Nice to hear the news.

    Parcel JK | Cambridge Crossing | Cambridge

    Agreed. Those of us who live here are already enjoying the additional openness: basking it the sartorial splendor of the unfinished construction, as it were...The rock park is lit nicely at night and walkers abound around the warrens. It's simple to take the dogs on a 1-3mi walk through the...

    Parcel JK | Cambridge Crossing | Cambridge

    CX hasn't resumed any construction operations yet. While the (neighboring) GLX work continued for most of the lockdown, CX buttoned up and only has begun some light grounds work since Monday (all they're allowed to do still, I think).

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

    I confirmed with the City of Cambridge and CX corporate that all construction will halt on Sat 21 March 2020 (cob) until further notice. This link explains the specifics and potential timeline (minimum of a week, but I think we all assume it could be quite a bit longer). My apologies if this...

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

    They are nearly finished with/preparing for use a third crane which can overlap work on Lots G & H. I have no new information regarding whether they will use it so, but think I heard that somewhere...

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

    That is not the case. In meetings and discussions, DivCo has not committed to hard protecting the bike lanes, soft protecting them, or doing anything other than marking them ... badly (the ones marked last year are already trounced by construction vehicles despite being officially open for ~40...

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

    JK, EF, G, H, I1, I2, W, Q1, and Common (north) are under construction. Philips (JK) is open, with some folks in/out daily, but not planning full office transfers until January. The remaining (reformatted) Common north park section will be open by spring. The businesses in W will be open by...

    Two updates: 1) The crane on Lot H is at full (current) height and 2) Sheet driving for Lot I's bathtub began this morning. Cheers!

    We just added a full height (admittedly, not too high) crane in CX today for your viewing pleasure...

    Interesting thought, BM. I lived in NoVA for many years before moving to CX 6+ years ago. While Pentagon City, Shirlington, and Ballston weren’t exemplars of high architecture, I find much of what’s in, and around, CX/East Kendall (Avalon scheisse excepted) to be of relatively high quality, at...

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

    The tower crane for Lot H is under construction. The wind created quite difficult task this morning for those involved.
