There was work done on the former Polaroid building a few months ago. The rooftop duct work was removed and the sky lights were all painted. It still appears to be vacant.

Not all the stores adopted the Shaw's name. The Star Market on the Cambridge/Watertown line has been Star through most of last century. It was never branded as a Shaw's.
They started the low rise portion late in November. Steel is up to the third level near the 'high rise' portion as of this morning (I walked by twice).
The two level bridge between the front and rear buildings is up as well. The back tower crane will be coming down in the next week or two.
Over the last two week all of the utilities have been cut to the buildings. It looks like interior demolition has been taking place at the Volvo building.
Two large excavators have been parked at the site the last couple of days.
I think keeping the neighborhood threads for small infill projects is good but larger projects warrant their own threads. The Cambridge thread drives me crazy. A lot of the big project go unnoticed as they're mixed in with much smaller projects.

I find AT&T service to sub par in most of Cambridge. There has been an AT&T cell tower partially down on the Cambridge Watertown line for the last week. I can barely call anyone but they refunded $30 of my bill!
I had originally thought it was a new substation for the Belmont Municipal Light Department. However, the new substation will be built on the other side of Brighton Street at 20 Flanders Road...
