Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA

I would let guests shit all day in my bathroom if it was mine when not entertaining. Having one bathroom in a 2BR apartment was the worst. Granted a lot of this probably depends on who is living there and their um, habits.

Re: Nashua Street Residences | MBTA North Station Garage | West End Drove up the Leverett connector this morning, there was a smallish black and white crane on the site, not sure if this is new or somehow related to the excavation lynquezy mentions. Was hard to see much from the highway.

It looks like a reasonable development for that area. Not everything has to be a grand aesthetic masterpiece, sometimes generic five story mixed use with retail at the bottom does the trick, especially for that stretch of Washington St which as of now is pretty horrid considering the fact that...

Yawn, who cares how pretty this building is, the Otherside Cafe here was 100x better for the urban vibrancy of this area.

Alewife yes with it's excessive space devoted to surface lots and arterial roads but is Kendall really "suburbanism"? It has a bit of an office park feel and most of the space (public or otherwise) feels uninviting but certain areas are being built up to feel more urban, such as Third Street...

from the "doh forgot to put my battery in my good camera" files; I like this building quite a bit. The color and height I think is ideal for this sort of infill. If you look closely you can see tables and chairs in the commercial space, so maybe it's a cafe (though not like Inman is hurting...

Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA Well the reason I would want parking is not cause it's needed but because it would provide a buffer between pedestrians and traffic. A cycle track with bollards though could provide the same thing, while taking up less space. I just don't...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can somebody explain to me the economic differences in building a luxury condo building vs luxury apartments? From what I can gather developers would rather have a luxury rental building, provided they can fill the units which doesn't always happen. When...

Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA While these suggestions would be simple to do, long term I'm wondering if it's feasible to put in a cycle track northbound? One big problem with this side of the roads is the lack of a parking lane, taking away a buffer for pedestrians from...

Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA 22 Water has to be the only building I've seen that actually looks better from the landscraper angle. The direct south angle I posted just looks kinda silly and squat. Angles showing how long the building is make it look massive as it does...

Re: 22 Water Str. (North Point Area), Cambridge, MA Is it just me or does the massing of this building seem awkward to anybody else? I guess we'll see how it looks when the cladding goes up.

Yeah shoulda mentioned this or posted them but got lazy/worried about copyright. The article is "meh" but the decor pics are a must see. http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/07/08/leung/OjKat9ZeNpldSuLcdNnoKI/picture.html?p1=ArticleTab_Photos_Top
