74M (EDGE Assembly Sq.) | 74 Middlesex Ave | Somerville

[Highwayguy]

The block with the Dunkin is now a hole in the ground and Middlesex Ave is shifted with barrier. Forgot to grab pics but looks like this is officially underway.

The City of Somerville has joined this development as a partner in order to take the Kensington open space across the full ROW. Also, Joe Curtatone is signing documents with the enthusiasm of John Hancock.

Renders! FWIW, this is no longer known as EDGE, but rather just "74 Middlesex".

Do they seriously think anyone will use this surrounded-by-roads bordering an elevated highway green space? Have them fund more Assembly parks, but this seems total nonsense.

Starting construction this week. I gotta say: a lab is a lab is a lab is a lab. BBJ.

Starting construction this week. I gotta say: a lab is a lab is a lab is a lab. BBJ.

At 300' it will be the 2nd tallest lab in the metro, behind Blackfan in Longwood. It's really going to dominate the view from the highway.

@DZH22 - I think we were debating in another thread about low and wide labs and your lamenting the lack of height in lab buildings. Looks like you got your wish!!

The colossal order windows are going to make it look stumpy.

In reference to this project:

That is the lot in between 74M and Brickyard and would make a wall of lab towers between Middlesex Avenue and I-93.
