Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) It will be about the same height as the Archstone (Avalon) Building. I was told that they started working on the Maple Leaf Building which will be turned into micro units. Sierra and Tango are now about 93% sold (305 units...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Thanks. Skatepark photo was my first photo post. The one that you corrected was taken today from the Gilmore Bridge in Cambridge. It shows the Building N construction at NorthPoint.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.)

I walked by the new Palm Restaurant site at International Place about a week ago and the entrance was still covered with a plywood wall so there was not much to see except the restaurant sign. It looks like it will turn out to be a great location.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) HYM held a meeting for NorthPoint area residents last week and explained that they will have to start pumping all of that water very soon. Also they told us that the future developments closest to the railroad tracks will be...

Pile driver is on site for Building N (apartment building) at NorthPoint. Test piles will be done in a few weeks. We were told that steel may begin late summer.

Not sure if this question belongs in this thread but I am not an architect and have a question about alucobond. I saw it being used on the refurbished Blackstone Apartments near MGH. Is alucobond always silver in color (alu stands for aluminum?) Can a simple design be etched into the product? Or...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) I took another look at a photo that I took of a model we were shown in our condo meeting and it is L-shaped. The rendering pretty much matches the model.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) The mock up is not part of anything in NorthPoint. We were told that it is for a building under construction in Kendall Square.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) No, this is not what they showed us at the condo meeting although I really like the look. The building is much closer to the Gilmore bridge and is more square in design.

That crane has only been there for about a week. It is for the new EF Education Building. They are also moving a lot of dirt around the North Point site in preparation for the new apartment building. There is a large mock up in back of the old North Point sales office. It is supposed to be for a...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I was on a Green line B train last night which stopped at Kenmore Square as usual but the doors did not open. When people become vocal the driver said that we had to announce our stop (by touching the yellow line) so he proceeded onto the Blanchard...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) That is an old rendering of NorthPoint but Wickedlocal Cambridge used it in their article. Building N will provide a connection to the Gilmore Bridge. Pedestrians will enter the park from the back of the building.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Work has started on the EF Education site. So far they have just been moving soil around.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) I saw the name D'Allasandro (sp) on one of the trucks. NSTAR has been there also. Again there is no building construction yet. They are just doing pipe work and utilities.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) I hope so. We were told that construction would start in the Fall of 2012 but it got pushed back into 2013. They are currently tearing up some roadway and installing pipes near the site. Too many false starts and nice...

I walked by the bridge tonight and saw that it was lit up with a white light that traced the outline of the bridge. Looked pretty good from a distance.

This bridge has been ready for a while. Not sure what the holdup is. Also in the neighborhood they are moving dirt around on the undeveloped side of the NorthPoint central park. Today they are taking soil samples from one of the dirt mounds. Construction of the first apartment building is...
