Pauli Murray and Ben Franklin colleges at Yale are so nice ngl. The new dorms at Brown by comparison are uhhh, at least the students really like living in them lol.

Thanks for putting this together, always good to see what the experience is like in a more normal housing market lol. Even in terrible locations without anything to do yet, these units would fill up instantly at 50% more ngl. Case and point being low vacancies in the post apocalypse (for now)...

Love to see it

I like the staircase 😮

Looks nice but Porter Square needs to think a lot bigger than this

The basic science looks like it's increasingly there, the number of chinese papers I'm reading seems to be increasing every year. A chinese post doc was also telling me that a biotech over there was doing research on 3 shifts, 24 hours per day. I don't know if that particular anecdote is true...

Maybe not the liveliest looking street level anyone's ever seen, but looks like a great new neighborhood nonetheless. Thanks for the pics

Well, at least they're doing it here lol. I was at a talk recently given by scientists from another pharma AI startup in Cambridge that's raised hundreds of millions and is now trying to IPO in China. They already do contract wetlab work over there for reasons of speed/cost and my impression...

There's also ink block lol, lots of highway everywhere you look Photos are a couple years old, but the view over highways is less bad than I would have thought.

That's gonna be an interesting resident lounge space in that dome lmao, wonder how its going to be decorated

I had always heard from European friends that the thick masonry construction in the old housing stock helped with insulation in the hot and cold, but never thought much about it. Looking at the article, averaging $400USD in utilities for a 900sqft apartment in a German city uhhh sounds not...

Good to see it looks like they might be landing some big tenants. I wonder if JPM is getting a good deal on the lease lmao given the general commercial weakness I keep hearing about. No longer have a globe subscription so I can't see if they wrote about that.

I mean that's kinda why I like the 108 Prospect project that sparked this conversation so much. Wrangling 30 landowners to build one commercial triangle scale project just sounds uhh challenging. But I don't see why it should be impossible to consolidate 2 triple deckers into 30-40 units in a...

Wish there were more projects like this around every GLX station. It makes no sense to me that a lot of those neighborhoods look exactly the same as when they were served by busses only.

https://www.gensler.com/projects/franklin-tower I remember seeing this at some point and being impressed with the scale of the conversion, everything in Boston has been so small compared to this project in Philadelphia.

I mentally call these things apocalypse shelters lol, although I don't think south station has anything on the Causeway complex where you can live, buy groceries, eat out, see a concert/game and go to work without moving more than 500 feet laterally lmao. Funniness aside I like them lmao...

Good to see this project pick up tenants
