    Six Ten @ MIT | 610 Main Street | Cambridge - Kendall Sq

    Re: Six Ten @ MIT | 610 Main Street, Cambridge The lighter panels appear to be precast or a terracotta like material. They're too uniform to be natural. I like the mounting brackets for the window 'louvers.'

    Six Ten @ MIT | 610 Main Street | Cambridge - Kendall Sq

    Re: Six Ten @ MIT | 610 Main Street, Cambridge The facade is very disappointing. I'm curious as to how they'll dress the mechanical levels. Novartis' two cranes are in the back.

    Re: Novartis Expansion They're planning to put up a third crane in the coming months. A decent amount of the foundation has been poured. Although I'm sure the weather will slow the progress down .

    Broad Institute Expansion | 75 Ames Street | Cambridge - Kendall Sq

    Re: 75 Ames St. (Broad Institute Expansion) Kendall Sq. The plans show retail taking up the left two thirds of the street frontage with the rest going to the lobby, fire command center and parking garage lobby.

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Novartis Campus | 181-211 Mass Ave, 22 Windsor Street | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    Re: Novartis Expansion They've erected one tower crane and it looks like they're pouring footings for two more. They're still excavating most of the site. On Mass Ave they set up a community art gallery under the protective walkway. It highlights works from the local community.
