Maybe they are going to convert the first floors from office/clinical space to apartments? I believe that MGH has some office space in these buildings.

From top to bottom the steps read as follows; One love, one planet, one people, one dream, many hearts. They are also painting the other set of steps. It is blocked off so all I could see was two hands in the shape of a heart at the bottom set of steps. The painted steps add a much-needed pop of...

In the fifth photo it looks as if they are advertising a giant cannabis building under construction! A visitor who did not know that this was Somerville and not Chelsea might be a little confused.

Thanks so much for these photos! I live in Cambridge Crossing and would never have done so with a prison as a neighbor. By the way the building on the left (former meat processing facility) is still standing. It was refurbished as part of the Elevate apartment complex. Other than that most of...

I just read that Bon Me Foods is coming to CX at 222 Jacobs Street (near Tatte Bakery). I think that it is a good choice to add to the mix.

The Lechmere self-service car wash (blue roof) is now gone. I have to check to see if the old brick building with the tattered awnings (Boston Reptile) is still standing.

It may have something to do with the Earthshot Prize enviornmental award being presented on Friday. The city turned on green lights at City Hall today during the visit of Prince and Princess of Wales. We should be seeing a lot of green lights this week.

Hopefully I did not miss this in the transit and infrastructure posts but I noticed that they are changing the lights in the I-93 tunnel. I was headed south today and noticed that the lighting was much brighter than usual. Then I noticed individual lights instead of the longer connected ones...

The bus shelters at the Lechmere Station have not been finished. They are fenced off with the equipment and partially constructed benches inside. At least being under the Greenline tracks keeps the rain away but the winter wind will be another matter. Hopefully this is completed before then so...

Maybe once the lots next to REI are filled in with the apartment building and lab space it will not seem so out of place. The Shed (Lexington, Lamplighter) are part of the central park. The small one-story building next to Park 151 is associated with that building. The REI building is just out...

I purchased a condo in the Tango Building in 2006 (pre-construction). I knew that eventually this area would fill in with buildings but that it would take a long time. Over the years I have watched each building go up and anticipated the next expansion. Even with the development unfinished we...

Bristol Myers Squibb has put up signage on the top of their new building that faces I-93. Bristol Myers Squibb is not open yet but the Sanofi buildings have had some workers for a while. I still do not see any Sanofi signage up on top of their two buildings. Good advertising for all of the...

The building that housed SavMor Liquors is currently being demolished. Further up the road the only structure left from the old Lechmere Station is the bus barn which is also slated to be torn down very soon. So many years of planning then the old buildings are gone in a few days.

Excellent photos as usual. Hopefully there is some money to maybe put a mural on that blank wall. People who bought the condos on the lower floors of the Glass Factory must not be too happy staring at that wall. If I lived there I would rather see the trains go by and maybe put up with the noise...

The green beams arrived already painted. They had them sitting at the site weeks before being hoisted onto the concrete supports.

Great photos as always. Just to let you know that Jacob Street (other side of Common) and North First Street are now open. I drove through there today.

I always thought that an observation wheel near the Children's Museum would be a good choice. But that may be too close to downtown to appreciate the skyline view. Also with all of the new development lately it may be difficult to find a good site. Wasn't there an article in the Globe years ago...

Really appreciate all of these updates. We have been waiting over 10 years to see the rest of this development finally moving forward.

We just got our monthly update from Divco West and they mentioned that pile driving just started for Building EF. That building is listed under Phase I b so I was surprised to see that they started on this one now without completing Phase I a. As mentioned in the link above it will be lab/office...

Does anybody know if they are still planning to build the pedestrian walkway over Leverett Circle?
