I think tour montparnasse looks funny to me because its so isolated. Hancock Tower does look really nice in its context, but I would argue that's partially because there is a mix of different high rises in its vicinity. Reflexively shutting down construction of high rises after the first one...

Bruh common knowledge to y'all but I was just flipping through some of the early pages for the project. This thing was already 10 years in planning/development by the time the thread started almost 20 years ago. It's been through 3 recessions, probably dozens of plans and now the bottom has...

Does anyone know how much the modular tower costs? I was trying to dig around but only found the phase 2 information which is going to be 1 million dollars per unit 😬

Just my 2 cents: I think this pattern of overinvestment has been seen with pretty much every example of a market with booming demand right (canals and railroads in the 1850s, dotcoms and telecoms in the 90s/2000s, pre-great recession housing, the current Chinese real estate situation, probably...

Millennials yearn for simpler times when they ate at mall food courts as children 😂. Legit though, I'm curious why these things are doing so well too. I know personally, I ended up eating at Timeout market waaay too many times when choosing where to eat as a group. Was a way to not choose a...

ngl just kinda happy to see somebody giving Jahunger their flowers. Loved that place when I lived in Providence and was happy to see when they opened up the new location in Cambridge.

Do we know if this proposal is a by right development under the new zoning?

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.
