Nothing wrong with Somerville lol, but not everyone shares a nostalgia for these buildings

That 15 year massing example looks beautiful

Thanks for the historical context to the design choices. I personally just never found the form appealing when I used to live in Somerville.

I think it looks nice, I like that it seems to cover the entire lot, that's already a 2x improvement over most triple deckers without mentioning the additional floor they squeezed in.

😭

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what the arrangement is other than that a lot of the units in the area have listings on apartments .com. I do think there are lots of places in JP that would make a lot of sense in the configuration you describe. I feel like the ideal use case for this plot...

I've always thought this spot was super underdeveloped given its location lmao. No idea what the ownership structure or neighborhood organization looks like, but I feel like there must be so many residents and nurses and postdocs willing to pay extra for a 5-minute walking commute to the...

With all these new and empty lab buildings, my personal hope is that we can attract more and weirder startups with cheaper real estate.

The glass always so nice on clear days

I'm just happy it's going to be 5-600ish units instead of the lab + 125. Would have been nice if it was taller, but still hope it happens

If I recall, the proposals were for a midrise lab building subsidizing 100 units of 100% affordable housing. The economics of just the lab building are probably unfavorable now, doubly so for the subsidizing a housing dev and triply so for the complexities in the air rights dev right. Curious to...

Comment period started on Friday when these materials were released, I tossed in a comment of support for the project on the Boston plans website https://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/35-75-morrissey-boulevard-phase-1

Where everyone else downscales proposals Everett is upscaling them lmao

I think our cities would be a lot healthier if we weren't so attached to individual structures and could build and rebuild at will. No one thinks Japan and its cities are devoid of history for doing this and they have the benefit of relatively rational housing costs

Not surprised lmao

I suspect the completed building will look quite nice around dusk when its dimmer outside and you can see the insides of each floor kinda like in this picture. That and I'll never understand everyone's aversions to this whole wrapped windows thing lmao, looks cool to me

Beautiful day outside

Why go to Everett if you can burn your money on your couch :ROFLMAO:
