Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.)
Close friend of mine lives there: she agrees!
Looks like Fairbanks Alaska.

Spent a couple weeks there, can concur.
And is it just me, or do the site plans of the new res building along O'Brien have a pool facing the elevated Green Line? I can just imagine trying to chill at the pool and get some sun and have people on the Green Line gawking out the window down at me. This just seems somehow, I don't know, like I wouldn't be using the pool that often. Maybe I am misreading the plan, but I don't think so.
I mean, it also shows deck chairs, and presumably people can see you out of their windows...
Wood frame apartments, right next to the Green Line. That combo will not bode well for those who want peace and quiet.
Yea, because everyone knows that electric trains on welded rails set in deep ballast on a new concrete viaduct will subject those nearby to Jake braking, tire noise, pothole thumping, and honking during 24 hours of operation.
I guess if people want peace and quiet outside their window they will have to move to pastoral Alewife's Vox on Route2, or someplace else where there's only the whisper of highway traffic and the gentle murmur of box trucks.
I guess if you are looking at an apartment with train tracks outside your window, you must not really care or are willing to make that trade-off.
Lot JK's bathtub construction is in progress (began last Friday, 19 May).
Lot/parcel JK was a combination of the old Master Plan (Canyon Partners) lots named J & K across from the Northpoint "Sierra" condominium building. The current bathtub, built to secure the site from water intrusion, will be bordered by North Street, North First Street, Dawes Street, and Baldwin Park.
Several of us presented documentation and materials about the early progress, but it was Equilibria who added plan submissions that might interest you...post #828. Datadyne007 subsequently posted images from the linked PDFs.
Awesome. Thanks.
How do you like living in the area and how is the parking situation there? I'm thinking about Avalon NP II after its finish.
