Saw this nugget on the Boston subreddit (thread): "I'm building the facade. A few interesting things, birds are flying into the mirrored panels and dying, and the glare off them is so burning hot it burns through styrofoam type insulation and waterproofing membrane. I don't think hanging out on...

Caught a bit of the evening light looking down Mass Ave in Central Square, Cambridge. It lines up above one of the MIT domes that stands at the end of the street.

One thing that I don't really like about this project, and haven't seen mentioned, is that it kind of wrecks the sight-line in Cambridge as you come down Mass Ave from Harvard, through Central Square, and towards MIT. One of the MIT domes is dead center at the end of the road and now there is a...

Stack of books incoming...

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.
