Maybe we can all just agree that this project isn't going to happen for the foreseeable future and any discussion of what should go here is purely academic now: "But interest rates rose, and so did inflation. The luxury real estate market cooled, and National Development didn’t see the new...

Swung by here yesterday...it looks like ownership installed a new entrance canopy and added a decorative painting scheme to a small portion of the exterior. I don't know what the lobby looked like previously but at the very least it looks to have been refurbished. The desk clerk confirmed that...

Thanks, noted! I saw it was closed, then checked Yelp and it was listed as Permanently Closed there. Glad it's not then. Saw the first flurry of the season while out that day! (even if it only lasted for a minute)

Eh, agree to disagree. The north side of Cambridge is hardly contextual, but there's a huge difference between a 6-story building that can barely be seen from Beacon Hill and 14-plus story buildings that dominate over it. The fact that the historic buildings are now gone shouldn't give...

Yes, but even as recently as two years ago, none of the buildings directly sitting on the north side of Cambridge were particularly tall - other than 165 Cambridge at 9 stories, almost none of these buildings were materially taller than their neighbors on the south side of the street. This...

The bigger tragedy IMO is the waste of density. Imagine if this had been designed as a grid of thru-streets with six-story rowhouses throughout, maybe with a small area set aside for a park. Instead, we essentially got a suburban hotel park that will forever feel isolated from the surrounding...

Between this and the MGH project, I'm shocked there aren't stricter height limits for sites that are immediately adjacent to Beacon Hill.

To be fair, anyone who clicked on a Newton thread hoping for towers clearly isn't familiar with Newton, hah.
