bring back the central artery!

Looking down Munroe St. you can see the bayed facade taking shape.

Re: short update on Constellation Center I think these banners across from the Genzyme building are relatively new: Looks like the project is also getting a new website: http://www.constellationcenter.org/

the site is a sandlot at the moment

Why would the article even list the "South Bay Tower" (aka Gateway Center)?

This building reminds me a lot of MIT's Sidney & Pacific graduate housing, which looks pretty nice.

on these forums, i don't think there is such thing as "not enough parking." ;)

here's the colorful building at binney and fulkerson and the backside

two cranes up on the site looks like a ramp for the underground parking

Maybe so. I'm originally from a small town in Tennessee. There was a Wal-Mart less than half a mile from my house that I could not safely walk to. There were no sidewalks leading there, plus I would have to cross a 6 lane highway with no crosswalks and walk through several acres of parking...

well, to use your words: since i don't find walking around main street or cambridge street a hardship then i was classifying these areas as walkable. maybe moving sidewalks would help?

ablarc, no need to get high-minded. i am just trying to get you to clarify your definition of walkability. and using mount everest as an example is silly. a few dozen people climb it yearly and a handful of others die trying. anyway, now i know what you mean. i still think it is too early...

i'm not sure what you mean by walkable i walk fairly regularly from central to kendall to lechmere. but you seem to be saying that part of this stretch isn't urban, which means it isn't walkable according to your definition. but in fact it is very easy to walk around these areas (there are...

You could argue that the building's neighbors don't fit into Cambridge. I like the scale of this project much better than the Landmark across the street.

cambridge street to the west of this development is already pretty dense, although maybe a little depressed. the blocks to the immediate west are filled with four story apartment buildings. don't forget that cambridge has a higher population density than boston. the real commercial center of...

Looks like you're right. According to the brochure on the theater's website: Central Square Theater will occupy more than 9,000 square feet in a larger building being developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As part of the project, MIT will restore the presently vacant Bradford...

I'm not sure. I've lived in Cambridge for almost five years, and since that building shows up on Google maps, I guess I must have seen it before it was demolished. But I can't remember what it was. Anybody know?

The facade is going up on ArchstoneSmith. I wonder if the bricks will be the same color all the way up. It looks a little bland so far.

Here's the site of the theater project. The smaller building on the site's northwest corner has been gone for some time. Here's the site from Mass Ave.: . . . And from Green Street: According to the sign on the Mass Ave. side, the site is owned by MIT and will have 11,500 sq. ft. of...
