The building sides look impressive now that the facade is going up. I walk by every day and the vertical lines definitely make it look taller than it is (similar to the new Proto residential building a block away). But man, the wide sides look reallllly chunky with a split facade. The front...

The red line is just under the street there. Maybe that's why they beefed it up? Honestly every time I walk by those facadectomies it feels like they are about to implode.

It won't read like another blue glass building from street level though...

Demolition of the site has started. Albany St is closed now except for that parking garage access. Photo taken from Portland St.

First glass is in... it looks pretty clear and high quality. The first few floors have them set back in the building a bit behind some sort of industrial window pane element.

Last night's super moon from Central Square :cool:

Going higher still... this is from Central Square, Cambridge. Pierce is behind it doing some window spring cleaning. I'll have a great view as cantilevers are built so expect more.

Racing the BU Data Science building to the sky

They definitely edited downtown to be somewhere out by Jamaica Plain in those last two renders :LOL:

What are those old warehouse facadectomies going to be? I tried looking it up once but couldn't find anything.

New crane gracing the skyline today - I watched them build it around mid-day. View from Central Square, Cambridge.

I'm really confused by this angle. Is that modern building in the background with the orange stripe a Biogen building (225 Binney)? If so, that would make the double-yellow road 5th Street, which is not currently connected to Binney. Are they reestablishing the street grid? I hadn't heard this -...

Looks great reflecting the evening light!

Noticed them putting the last panel into place for the front facade. Cool image through a dirty window :ROFLMAO:

So I'm looking out from my apartment right now and the sign is lit up for the first time tonight. Even though there are plenty of other buildings with signage in Kendall Square, they are mostly 6-10 stories. Kind of striking to see that orange logo at night around 270' in the air.

That building in the background? Pretty sure that's the proposed building going up on the north side of the Blue Garage. The current Volpe building is to the left of the render frame.

I work in Kendall Square and I don't think I ever realized until this picture just how close these two cantilevered buildings will be to each other. Kind of looks like a pile of blocks to me now.

Looks great! Except every time I see that profile view I picture someone on the sidewalk in January getting impaled by a falling icicle. Public space will shrink reallll quick in winter.

My guess (and this is pure speculation) is that this had to do with driving culture in the 1920s. This was the same time that Robert Moses was building all sorts of tree-lined parkways throughout Long Island - perfect for taking the whole family out of the city with the new Chevy. We got some of...
